Fortunately I’ll be thousands of miles away on the first day of my holiday, enjoying a rum cocktail on a Caribbean beach.🏝️🍹😎☀️

I didn't get a vote for head of state, anyway, did you?

As you can see from other thread, I'm somewhat concerned by this Gov behaviour towards free speech ...
... but they really don't give a stuff about the monarchy (in this respect). Anyone thinking the "Oath" will be compulsory, or that thought-police will be checking on you, is in tinfoil hat territory!

The media that provokes clickbait outrage with partially true stories about 'people with breasts' is the media whipping up a story about this.

The only thing to be taken from this is to remember that if a story seems outrageous, and provokes a strong emotional response its probably worth digging deeper. Or ignoring.

The oaf who thought up the oath was probably thinking of the DUP.

I see that the Met are planning to "deal firmly" with anyone "undermining the celebration".

Makes a change ftom killing and raping women, I suppose.

This thread probably represents the most coverage I've experienced about the coronation, beyond the odd display in shops. As with all things I'm really not arsed about, it's pretty easy to ignore.

That said, I might watch it, purely out of interest to see what his tiara and various walking sticks look like.

The papers are making a bit of a fuss but I haven't seen much in the shops. The supermarkets seem to be treating it like they do the World Cup. Loads of drink and snack food out but in terms of merch and celebratory tat, there's less out than at Halloween. Usual shameless cashing in by the big brands.

Most recently I saw bears in WH Smith. And they weren't Paddington, so someone dropped the ball there.

I've seen a fair amount of tat around, but I'm pretty adept at glazing over anything with a union flag on it.

Nothing to do with “the pledge”, but, BBC news had coverage of Wills and Kate on the Tube (not sure if it was a Royal Coach), and, William pulling a pint in Soho.

One assumes this was after a long liquid lunch in the King's Head.
