Jubilee - celebrate, ignore or bemoan?

[All uphill]

What's your take?

I have been trying to ignore everything to do with the house of Windsor since being a teenager, but occasionally enjoy a moan about them.

I don't like the privilege when so many are disrespected.
I don't like the extravagance when so many are struggling.
I don't like the fawning admiration of a family who are no less dysfunctional than most.

I think Derek Jarman was a genius.

I foresee yet another Royal-bashing thread.

What are you expecting?

Ignore, whilst wishing the Queen herself well and happy to let people enjoy this sort of thing if they wish.

I would imagine you know exactly what your anti-royal bedfellows think but if it gets you hard there's no harm asking I suppose.

For what it's worth I'm not fussed either way but I'm certainly not against the whole concept as they're so far removed from my day to day life they cause me no harm.

The monarchy is sh*t and full of c*nts.

However I am using my extra day off work wisely and going on holiday.

If you think that why are you here?

I love that sort of attitude because you must be incandescent with rage when you see the celebrations and pleasure people get from the Royal family, there's even an extra day off this year to rub it in even further.

As said many times to ensure your little echo chamber sometimes gets an alternative view of things, call it my little guilty pleasure.

As it falls in the school holidays, schools have been given dispensation to choose an extra day off this year. Ours was last November.
I have no real feelings about the monarchy either way. If a country has to have a head of state, it seems as good a way to choose one as any. I’d prefer not to have to pay for the hangers on though.
I like a day off - who doesn’t?

I'd like a discussion with differing views aired and respectfully heard.

How about this from 'one of your own' ?

And we'll call you our useful idiot.
