Very lucrative this waving and ribbon cutting lark if one's a beneficiary of the magic vagina method of choosing a country's head of state.

Look at this fawning guff. We're being told what to think here - "this is the GOOD kind of military parade, folks, not the HORRIBLE kind that our enemies might hold..."

And whilst I'm having a rant about British imperialism and monarchy...
Note the irony that on the same day Trump is holding a birthday military parade for his own vanity in America, here in the UK we having stupid bloody #TroopingTheColour so that King Chuck can have, er, a birthday military parade for his vanity.

I’ll end homelessness by having several castles, owning half of London & not paying tax when I’m king !! This is my pledge to the British people - And if that doesn’t work I will plunder more jewels and art from the entire world.

Wave children, wave at the scum you were bred to rule over, this is your legacy, your domain. Mummy and daddy bred you just for this moment and to keep it in the family, wave your little hearts out, wave until you drop or uncle Andrew will visit #bbc #tory #tories #news #Labour #labourparty #BorisJohnson #toryscum #ToriesOut #ToryCorruption #politics #ukpolitics #EU #covid #COVID19 #CovidInquiry #boris #Sunak #rishisunak #notmyking #royals #KingCharles #troopingthecolour #kingsbirthday

I have historically been a "soft" monarchist. I think the monarchy has considerable soft power benefits and makes a great tourist attraction. I started going off it a bit though seeing just how much the cost was in relation to other European monarchies.
And then this whole "swearing allegiance" thing has rather crystallised it for me. Will I swear personal allegiance to Charles Windsor? No, of course I won't, he has no more right to my allegiance than does my next door neighbour. And therefore how can I consider it right that he is "my" king?
I can't, of course. It follows that I must believe that disestablishment of the monarchy is what should happen. So there's my changed opinion for today.
