The more I hear of all this, the more I wish Kenny had told them where to shove their fucking knighthood.

 

Yeah, but he didn't.

 

People have their reasons.

 

My 78-year-old Mum arrived in Australia in 1954, as a 10 year old displaced person from the war in Europe, with her parents.

Her Dad was a doctor, her mother illiterate.

Mum's Dad died within 12 months of their arrival here.

Mum said, in this weird place Australia, the Queen was her symbol of solidity, hope and reassurance - not the Royal House of Windsor, or its history of poncey Germanic in-bredery, or any of that shit - but Queen Elizabeth.  A young bird - not a flatulent, syphilitic old fart like Henry VIII or a bloated old cunt like Edward VII, or any of these nonces now.

Liz meant something to my Mum, and it helped her and her Mum feel like they belonged somewhere and were looked after, and that there was a bit of recognisable support and "leadership".

They were different days back then, of course, but I kind of get what my Mum says.

 

So, yeah of course, abolish the monarchy etc etc... but some people have their reasons for nostalgia and fondness.

And not all of those people are cunts. King Kenny ain't and nor's my Mum.

And the queen ain't Margaret Thatcher either.  In fact, I'm pretty confident the queen wouldn't have liked her.

That's from 10 years ago, isn't it?

 

Didn't they also negotiate an exemption from the Equalities Act, so they didn't have to hire "coloureds" at the palace?

Is it? Even so they are a bunch of cunts

Fair points mate but I still can't stand that fucking shower, nor why the is any need for such an outdated, anachronistic 'institution'.

I have just seen someone who is having a street party tomorrow sharing a picture of setting it up with neighbours with the words "almost ready for our Platty Joobs celebrations"

 

I'm not a violent man but that tested me, I'll be honest.

Someone in work said that to me. It took me a couple of attempts at understanding what they meant. Where has it come from?
