Indigenous independent Senator Lidia Thorpe was escorted out of a parliamentary reception for the royal couple after shouting that British colonizers have taken Indigenous land and bones.
The most expensive museum ever. Just what he’s wearing in that pic has a monetary value of more than the combined wealth of your extended family.
Imagine how much better the world would be if the wealth and land holdings (a sixth of the surface of the entire planet) belonged to the people in stead of the most privileged family in existence.
The royal family costs the UK tax payer 77p per year, most people aren’t outraged by that. It can also be argued that they attract a considerable amount of tourism, people that travel to the UK to see the Tower of London, the King’s guards, Buckingham palace and all the rest of it. There is also the “soft power”, people around the are for some reason obsessed with the UK’s royal family and it does help with influence whether you’d argue that is for better or worse.
I understand that the obscene wealth they hold during a cost of living crisis is an image problem to say the least and I don’t defend that. Such obscene wealth is awful no matter who you are.
For the record I’m not pro-monarchy or anti-monarchy, I’m somewhere in-between and see validity in both sides of the argument.
While I get your point the royal bullshit would just be placed in a museum similar to the royal regalia of the HRE or Lombardy. But yeah theyd probably be better off being kept as exclusive museum pieces rather than being put on the head of some inbred dipshit every once in a while.
For real, though…
I think everyone knows it’s ridiculous.
For some the monarchy is a living museum, they don’t have to like it, they just find it interesting.

But then I will miss out when it’s my turn to be king!
Sure you will, Ralph
Yeah but what would people dream of?

You have a man who’s spray painted himself bright orange… Badly running for the premiership of your country.
We elected Boris Johnson to PMship. We aren’t better.
I can barely hear you around all the royal cock you have in your mouth, mate.
