I am so excited.


Its not often you get to celebrate 60 years of a monarch. Usually dynasties like this are executed or burned at the stake for their rapacious and murderous legacy. Im sure the tens of millions of people across the world who live in abject poverty due to the colonial exploits of our rulers will also be giving thanks as well.


May the offspring of middle european rape and pillage barons and thugs continue to rule over us and produce bountiful idiot offspring to keep the family line intact and in power.


Good luck and enoy your Jubilee East Dulwich.Just remmeber that your Union Flag is dripping in the blood and tears of hundreds of millions of victims.

The exploits of the Empire were indefensible and anyone who tries to defend them deserves to be drowned in a slurry pit.


But does this really have anything to do with people 100 years down the line engaging in the self-validating ritualization of royalty as the symbol of national strength and wealth? Wasn?t this being done long before the empire existed anyway?


It may all be pointless to the objective observer but just because Middle England is donning its glad rags to do a rain dance for their chief doesn?t make them complicit in subjugation and genocide.

I've been pratising the right amount of ironic detachment, "can't deny the kids a sight of history - and it's on their doorstep" position. This seems to be the correct compromise to make. But I can't promise some emotion won't sneak in when I see that great armada go past.


I always wanted a boat.

Much of the current deplorable condition of the world is due to the machinations of such power groups their continued existance. In this sense, it is irrelevant to dismiss the sins of the fathers in this case, though this is trotted out by guardianistas as a simpering hand wringing sop to ease the national collective guilt.


If we celebrate this shower of shites, then we are all implicitly supporting a legacy of genocide, murder & slavery bludz.


Still, you get your day off and all is well. God bless her majesty & her disfunctional turd smeared idiot family and their hangers on.


Your Queen not mine

Personally I'd agree the royal family is an anachronism with no place in a modern democratic society but I'm too lazy to get worked up about it, particularly when HM is so utterly dedicated and dignified compared with the elected sleaze monkeys, greedy ba$tards and self-promoters, but once she's no longer with us I think it's time to abolish it. I don't see how anyone could even think they're particularly 'royal' any more - William has less than half royal blood and his children will have less than a quarter and there must be plenty of other people walking around with at least as much.


On the other hand, the special edition Ma'amite is branding genius and I'm going to buy one today if there are any left.

Yes... and the 'agent' in high heels, lipstick and a shiny black mac 'n hat looks surprisingly masculine...


I think Agent Elliot Nette has gone rogue...



ETA: ...or do I mean rouge?

Yes, I know it's out of control, out of control:


Greasy machinery slides on the rails,


Young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled.


Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones;


Iron-throated monsters are forcing the screams,


Mind and machinery box-press the dreams.


But there still is time....

Why would your grandfather want to be hanging in the ruins of Buckingham Palace? And even if he was, I doubt he'd see the royal family from there.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
