The Royals

If only she'd had one of those sun life over 50s cover policies you see advertised on daytime TV.

Queen Elizabeth II: Funeral cost government £162m

The state funeral, in September last year, followed a period of national mourning.

Doing nothing all day you would have thought she would have seen the adverts with Parky…

 

[Templeton Peck]

Not a huge fan of the royals but Harry is killing it. If he reforms the UK press it will be the greatest service a royal has done this country since Charles 1 lost the civil war.

 

[Tredman]

I for one am very glad this is happening

King Charles to receive huge pay rise from UK taxpayers

Details published by Treasury show royal family’s grant is expected to increase from £86m to £125m in 2025

It will give us something to rally around as we watch kids die in poverty, our schools and hospitals crumble away and our economy wither and die. Huzzah.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That's fucking outrageous.

Don’t give him the cash. Spend it on tumbrils and setting up a nice shiny guillotine in Trafalgar Square.

Outside the Banqueting House would be my preference...

 

[Templeton Peck]

They need to fuck off.

 

[EpsomWolf]

With a deal like that must have Mendes as their agent.

 

[Tredman]

All that money and couldn’t be arsed to go and watch the first World Cup final for the English women’s team.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Isn't there some weird constitutional/diplomatic thing?

Charles is King of Australia and he hasn't been there since he took the throne. Until he does then no lower-ranking royals are supposed to.

Obviously it makes no sense but that's hatstand tradition for you.

King Charles charity: No further police action over Prince's Foundation honours probe

The Met Police has been investigating cash-for-honours allegations involving the Prince's Foundation.

Released the same day as Lucy Letby is sentenced. They wouldn’t be burying bad news would they?!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It was still about third headline so they haven’t buried it very deep!

 

[Wilf Wolf]

It was still about third headline so they haven’t buried it very deep!

It will get a lot less attention than on a quiet news day.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It won’t get a mention anywhere in the Royal loving rags whatever day it is. The release date will have had fuck all to do with the Letby sentencing. The removal of a prole from society would have been of infinite disinterest to the royal regime whatever level of despicable evil that prole was.

 

[Sniffer]

If his defence was that the Conservative Party have doing the same for years and they run the country on his behalf, then I presume that there was nothing to see anyway.

British TV ‘allowed monarchy to censor coverage of king’s coronation’

Royal spin doctors imposed ‘extraordinary restrictions’ on covering King Charles III’s accession, says ex-head of Sky News

www.theguardian.com

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was doing so well before he went off on a random tangent about GB News. The Royals bit is no shock and won’t realistically change.

 

[Tony Towner]

There are many knowledgeable historians on here who would be able to compose a list of the potentially most evil person in history. I'd imagine the likes of Stalin, Hitler, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun would appear. They'd all be be wrong as the correct answer is...

Hmmmm. I assume Piers Morgan realises that there is no right to parliamentary privilege on a talk tv show. He and the channel are going to get sued to fuck, unless those named are of course already dead (which rather neatly identifies them).

For the record, I don’t give a shit who it is. I further hope Piers Morgan disappears up his own firmament and this twat Scobie is publicly fired into the sun.
