Will you be swearing allegiance to the king?

[Aladdin]

"The largest study on the royals since the Queen's death"

Now, it could have been an absolutely super-massive study*, but setting your qualifying timeframe as "in the last 8 months" doesn't immediately inspire confidence that it was...




*though can't have been that big, 'cause I don't remember being asked and I've got some pretty good opinions about the monarchy that anyone asking about 'the royals' should hear

She isnt dead..
ChatGPT says so..

 

[Lord Camomile]

I imagine the questions were along the lines of "

'Do you think the monarchy is an asset for the UK or do you think I should drown this kitten that I have net to the phone?'

If you drown a kitten based on what I said I think over the phone, I'll honestly be expecting you to still accept the vast majority of responsibility on that one.

(By which I mean to say: it wouldn't persuade me to answer "a)")

Insert own joke here. No sweat.

 

[Cerv]

for the benefit of the Americans, this is what happens when you have strict gun control laws. people resort to chucking handfuls of ammunition because they can't shoot it.

 

[not-bono-ever]

There are terrorist groups that I would sooner swear allegiance to than this chump. He’s had the chance to change how the royals work and go low key for this bollocks and begun the movement towards easing off on the stifling corrupt structure he now heads.too late now chazza. Wealthy spoilt poltroon

 

[Tanya1982]

I don’t like all the royal jewellery tat usually, but I must admit I quite like the ‘sword of offering’...



I’d happily have that in case I ever needed a walking cane. It would have an appreciative home here.

 

[LDC]

That's the most fabulously camp sword ever.

This 'major poll' must surely have been exclusively taken from over 60s:

Could do with chucking a few solid rocks about

the ‘sword of offering’

"Offering with their heads!"

This 'major poll' must surely have been exclusively taken from over 60s:

Yes

Nearly 4 in 10 young people back abolishing the monarchy, poll finds

The YouGov survey for the BBC 's Panorama also revealed that King Charles enjoys wide support across all age groups in Britain, with 58 per cent in favour and 26 per cent against.

If you do a phone survey of landline numbers on a weekday lunchtime all you'll get is over 60's.

 

[isvicthere?]

The Mail header is particularly aggressive

This "trailblazing move" (to have a general pledge of allegiance) makes it a genuine "people´s coronation"! From the same gutter that gave us "the will of the people". Remind me again how well brexit is going...

 

[isvicthere?]

If people had to sweat allegiance it would be even more unpopular.

And it would also exclude Prince Andrew.

 

[teqniq]

'Coincidental' Yes, of course it is:

Anti-monarchists receive ‘intimidatory’ Home Office letter on new protest laws

Home Office claims timing of new powers, taking effect days before king’s coronation, is coincidental

It's a right royal knockout

Not checked but i think 58% support is a lot less than these polls used to show.

I wonder if the "don't knows" are shy royalists or shy republicans?

Probably just don't give a shits.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Well at the end of the day, right, I'm English not American and 100 per cent won't be pledging allegiance to any twat, innit.

Finding the new format a bit confusing...two of them gone after the interview stage...when do they start dressing in silly costumes and start falling over?

Well the dressing in silly costumes bit is on Saturday. Don't know about the falling over bit, when Chucky has got the sparkly hat is he going back to Buck House to catch an afternoon nap or will there an evening knees up bit like the reception at a wedding?

 

[gosub]

Are they getting Stuart Hall to do the commentary?

Americans do not pledge allegiance to a twat. They pledge allegiance to a flag, and elect twats. For that matter, we elect twats as well, which is why the Crown is supposed to be a timeless symbol of nationhood that unites us all. Like a flag. If any particular monarch is a twat, you're supposed to ignore it.

So does that mean we can stick him on a pole and fly him from the top of a building?

 

[ouirdeaux]

Sounds good to me.
