Yesterday tea time: Me : "I've put my name down to work next Monday, some of us will need to be available to cover certain contracts" TCMPL: "Don't you want to just spend the day with me?"

You're correct, woman on the radio this morning saying her mothers funeral next Monday has been cancelled due to it coinciding with the bank holiday being announced for the funeral of EIIR

That’s a good point. She’s a cash cow for clicks. That’s Morgan’s gig. He knows where the cash is…

Yeah ban ex politicians, have folk from the arts, academia, sport etc. Wheel out someone like Steve Redgrave to shake hands and dish out gongs, no one is taking offence at him….

Yeah perhaps you’re right, but the media will have to give up on them first…

It’ll be up to employers at the end of the day, they’ll be paying for it. Think most large companies will acquiesce…

Am not entirely sure these demonstrably bewildered people know why they’re really there or have actually asked themselves why they’re upset enough about a woman many only listened to once a year at Christmas to travel to London or wherever and share their public grief. “She’s been a constant in my life” doesn’t mean a fuckin thing as far as I can make out. The last few days have made me realise for the first time that the Royal Family are basically a cult, and most Brits are in it. It’s like they’ve got a magical power over the population, they’ve woven a spell on most of us….centuries of indoctrination, almost like the church but since the end of WW2 it seems to me that we’ve unconsciously rejected organised religion in most forms . We’re nowhere near getting rid of the strange power of the crown though…

Thats fuckin great, I knew he had republican leanings but didn’t know they were so err “visceral” I always thought Stephen Hawking would make a great president, not sure now, as long as it’s not an ex politician. I think Ireland gets it right, do they have twats on the short list because the ones that actually get elected seem decent & dignified etc

It’s ok lads, dissenters are being arrested https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/11/republican-protesters-arrested-king-charles-proclamation-events?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1662919651

NATO accepted Ukraine as an official prospective member state in 2008. Ironically I don’t think they ever quite had the balls to go through with it. also some other members nations objected. But to state they were never candidates isn’t accurate. I just can’t foresee a time when any Russian president accepts a situation where NATO navy vessels can tie up at Ukrainian Black Sea ports. It’s as valid a reason as Russian imperialism which I fully accept is a factor. He wants to recreate the USSR before he’s dead.

You’re all taking a massive leap here, no one is suggesting for a minute Putin was justified in the invasion. Suggesting NATO expansion wasn’t a factor isn’t a conspiracy theory either. These two things can exist together. Am not the one onjecting to NATO expansion in any way, shape or form. Vladimir Putin is.

The US in the guise of NATO was a major factor in the invasion of Ukraine. Why did the US & UK take the decision to start training and arming them in the aftermath of the annexation of Crimea in 2014? It’s not that I have a problem with that, it’s that to me people are failing to recognise what happened and why Ukraine in particular was helped when Putins other incursions were largely ignored by the West…

Without subscribing to any conspiracy theories whatsoever the yanks have been influencing what goes on in Ukraine for 30 years. That doesn’t justify in any way the invasion but it is undoubtedly the reason it happened

It’s difficult to know who started the whispers about MM but they drove her & Harry away, hotly pursued by the UK tabloid press who obviously loved getting passed gossip from staff they’d apparently been rude to ffs Then they’ve committed the (socially) capital offence of taking the media on. You could shoot Piers Morgan’s wife dead in the street and it still wouldn’t cause the bile he spills on this pair . He’s either disturbed or knows they’re a meal ticket for decades, very likely both….

Or…. She was introduced into the royal family to breed an heir and after that function was completed she was jettisoned. Those complicit in this at the time were the queen mother, the recently departed queen, the new king and possibly worst of all the various flunkies they bribe to keep themselves in place . She wasn’t perfect, a saint or anything like that but if she did become manipulative and cynical that’s maybe because she learned from the fuckin best. I think her younger son has in the last few years realised what a set of cunts he’s bred from (and the way the media use the entire charade to make money in this country) and he’s not fuckin having it for his family . Don’t blame him tbh.

I was in London at that time….. I thought the country had lost its fuckin mind tbh. Am thinking that now too tbh…they’re just people ffs..

Mercury & the other 3 twats played Sun City in South Africa for an absolute fortune the year before they asked to be paid for Live Aid

No, had an email saying we can still use them for the rearranged game though, which is nice… Too many members to provide all with a pack…

I agree, but the point I was attempting to make was all this pageantry keeps the cash rolling in but more importantly keeps the whole gig going, keeps it alive. We’ll never be rid of it, and most in this country will continue to bow,scrape,genuflect,boot lick and tug their forelocks and be fuckin happy doing so. Your kids can never aspire to be head of state as in the US 👍

Is that the cost to the economy of the bank holiday?

“Football supporters can’t be trusted to show sufficient respect”… what a load of fuckin shit

It’s this shit this morning that brings the real ££££££ into this country….and no fuckers seen it before. So whether we like it or not it’s the history of the country… the only pity is not everyones’ kids can aspire to it…it’s reserved for one family…

Didn’t know William was left handed…..he’d have been under suspicion of witchcraft by some of his ancestors

That won’t stop England poaching him, see Declan Rice for details…

I got bombed out of a WhatsApp group of several of my closest friends yesterday afternoon for posting this
