The nation's capital was awash with patriotic scenes of fervour as loyal subjects demonstrated their love for their ruling dynasty. There seems to be no decline in the huge popularity of a family that has overseen stability throughout decades that have seen all kind of uprisings, regime changes and turmoil elsewhere.
Critics have pointed to the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by the rulers, who live in mansions, enjoy expensive wines and food imported from around the globe while the nation's economy lurches from crisis to crisis. But those present at the festivities seemed unconcerned, "look at them up there waving - it must be exhausting. Who'd deny them fois gras and a few bottles of bolly plus seven big houses for all the selfless effort?".
It seems if the crowds are anything to go by, the ruling family are as popular as ever. A quick straw poll among people who turned up to cheer them showed almost unanimous support.
The police meanwhile, remained vigilant and took steps yet again to imprison anyone who might 'spoil the fun' for everyone else by demanding democracy openly during a government funded propaganda exercise.
Theirs is the right to rule because they were born. Well done for that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of crap! The royal family are one of the biggest land owners, they have increased the economy if anything by tourism and the celebration of various events. Get a life for Christ sake and probably a real job! Keep your views to yourself know one else thinks them apart from the other few idiots on this site! Attention seeking dicks
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saying is crap? Primogeniture? Privilege? An unelected, undeserving, thick as pigshit 'royal' family? Yes, I would agree with you.
DeleteHow does one get to be a 'royal' again? How did that start?
How did they get all that land?
You, sir, are the Dick.
I keep hearing this...but how do we know they're vital to tourism ? Do we perhaps draw from the experiences of France, Germany and America who, as we all know get zero tourism, right ?
ReplyDeleteLets face it, if they vanished overnight the tourists would still come, and unless you're a head of state you aren't going to meet the parasites anyway.
It's the 21st century...about time we were considered grown-up enough to democratically elect our head of state ?
My father used to use the tourism argument.
DeleteHowever, it seems to me that eliminating the royal family would increase tourism.
Think of what a great museum the Buckingham Palace would make!
No one comes as a tourist to England to see the Queen. It's not like you're going to get to shake her hand or anything. That is one of the weaker arguments out there.
World's top tourist destinations, most recent figures
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings
France 76.80 million (1st place)
United Kingdom 28.13 million (6th place)
The royalist 'tourism' argument seems to fall flat on its arse. Next....
Did you see the massive direct action on jubilee day?:

The royal family are simply a bunch of free loaders. The concept of the monarchy in 21st century Britain is almost funny if it weren't for the ever increasing economic misery all around us. This family enjoy a ridiculously wealthy existence, largely at the tax payees expense. And forget the bullshit about how they contribute towards tourism; it's utter rubbish and simply an excuse that the establishment churns out when the debate comes up. Grow up Britain and get rid of these unelected free loading inbreds!!
ReplyDeleteThe royal family is a prime example of the troublesome benefits culture that exists in Britain.
DeleteBRAVO
ReplyDeleteThree years gone was too long.
ReplyDelete"look at them up there waving - it must be exhausting. Who'd deny them fois gras and a few bottles of bolly plus seven big houses for all the selfless effort?"
ReplyDeleteThat sentence made me LOL.
This is a common thing I hear from Queen worshippers. "She's so dedicated, she's been an amazing monarch, we are so grateful." For millions of pounds worth of property, automatic social status regardless of personal achievement, a lavish lifestyle and privileges that no other citizen has ... who wouldn't sign up for that job?
One thing I hate to say, but might be comfortable doing so here, is that the Queen seems like she is a bit delayed. It seems that she can never say anything candidly and everything she speaks is scripted. Could it be that she, like her cousins, has a slight learning disability? All the better, though, for her to make such a good puppet.
I have just re-edited a music video for the African/European collective SEDATIVA.
ReplyDeleteThey are creating a new musical style coined " East meets West ".
The music provokes awareness to the issues surrounding the Middle East and
the Imperialist role of an imposter Monarchical family ( i.e. Winsors)
in subordinating our indigenous family.
Whilst England celebrates war under the guise of the Jubilee and the Olympics,
SEDATIVA released an anthem entitled : CLIFFS OF DOVER ...
...the Official unOfficial Queen Diamond Jubilee London 2012 Olympics Anthem,
as a special dedication to highlight these events and wider issues the British Crown and Vatican Corporation.
CLIFFS OF DOVER is part of an awareness campaign regarding Crimes of Church and State
Therefore, I have decided that it should be available for FREE DOWNLOAD ...
I would like support to help promote this free song / music video ...
I can offer all kinds collaborative support along with the artists I am working with.
