Disaster The real cost of inbreeding - Royalfags schedual wedding on UKs version of superbowl Sunday

So I picked this up on the BBCs "what the papers say" this morning and went to find the sauce.

Obs in the meantime the owners of the Mail had screamed at the editor, that the Royal Wedding was supposed to make us plebs all feel good and fluffy about our masters, not criticise them for fucking up the economy for a generation, so...

And the cunts have made it a Saturday to deliberately rob us of a public holiday, cunts.

The wedding. Any non-Elizabeth royal is just a rich person with a fancy title nowadays.

But football is full of overpaid wankers kicking a lump of plastic about.

It'll be a late Spring, early Summer afternoon and I'll be in the local.

I'm guessing there wont be too much white taffeta and lace on the telly.

Not unless the players troon out.

Millions spent on two pointless things that should've been spent on more productive public investments like schools, police, healthcare, etc.

I don't get the British obsession with the Royals. They don't really do anything but expensive social bullshit, they use the country's money to pay for said expensive bullshit, and despite being useless, have the capability to revoke your rights and freedoms on a whim.

Why do you britbongs put up with it? Historical/Cultural stuff? Tourism?

Tourism, culture and stability. Americans think the Queen can do anything. She can't without Parliament's say-so. All she is really is a national old dear.

Half the brits in this thread have called for the queen's head on a fucking pike, what thread are you reading?

Americans seem more obsessed than the Brits. Every week there's a new story about Harry and Meghan on the magazine covers.

It means that we don't need to go through a costly, divisive and ultimately pointless election every 4 or 5 years, to get a new head of state that is basically a figure head who signs laws into power (Irish/French basically name any country with a prime minister/president system) and has the theoretical loyalty of the armed forces, checking the power of any over reaching executive.

And for us its cost neutral because the yanks, japs and more recently the Chinese are prepared to pay for it.

We live in a country where Tony Blair won three elections on the bounce. If we get rid of our hereditary head of state, imagine what sort of cunt we might replace them with.

Yeah, other than the whole 'letting us have the crown land in exchange for lesser money from tax/ tourism monies thing, the Royals are pretty big on charity and stuff amongst other causes.

Plus they've been raised to do all the handshaking bollocks, so they're pretty practiced at it. Even though she's like, a million years old Liz had something like 341 engagements in 2015.

Positive autistic sperging aside, I'll echo that it's because a) people can't be bothered to change the system because it works b) Seriously, people rarely even bother voting when it's actual MP's who make decisions. why would they bother voting for yet another horrible Blair/Cameron amalgamate?
