The new Britain:
I’m not sure it’s the same place.
Arresting Tommy Robinson, messing with our election.
Though a yuge Anglophile, I....just don’t recognize this place, now.
The Queen will be the last decent member of that family. Well, her husband is OK too.
“We need a Royal Family that LOOKS like Britain..!!!”
How long before they say something insane like that..?
They’ve used that stupid, “looks LIKE...!!” thing so many times I just can’t see how they won’t do that this time, also.
...to wear silly stupid hats.
I just noticed. That is a fat baby.
You forgot about Prince Charles. He's a fine fellow. Well, at least the Muslims think so.
The “Royal” family is the wealthiest on earth.
All of its functions are designed to keep it so.
Everything else is window dressing.
Follow the money.
...and marry hos and play with squirrels
I’ll never understand any country that pays people to live a lavish lifestyle decade after decade based on who gives birth to who.
A bunch of lucky inbreds who’re just intelligent enough to keep a good charade going for the British populace to make them think they’re slaving for the Commonwealth. The latest addition completed taking any semblance of dignity down the drain. Nothing but fornicators and money grabbers.
2,000: the number of beautiful designer outfits Meghan Markle has worn since becoming the Duchess of Sussex
200 million: the number of Pounds British fashion designers have earned from worldwide sales of their dresses after being worn by the Duchess of Sussex
2 billion: the number of times members of the British press have criticized the Duchess of Sussex for her choice of outfits
(These are not necessarily official figures.)
I’d say it’s possible that in 20 years the Royals will be living in Canada and the Muzzies will be living in Buckingham Palace.
Bring a Royal is a great job, excellent pay, great healthcare, good retirement, and the work is never all that difficult.
It’s the ultimate No-Show Job.
All the parties, letters to write, speeches, waving...Whew! Must be rough!!! LOL!
Nothing but pomp and circumstance.
ABC is airing their take on a holiday special tonight - “Meghan’s New Life: The Real Princes Diaries.” Uh, no thanks.
Who, way back when, made this incestuous bunch and nearly all the European “royalty” the ones to be the head cheeses? The “church”?
In the new age of internet journalism, it is hard to find an article of any length that doesn’t use “as well as” when a comma or the word “and” would work just fine.
Inbreeding useless parasites. We chased their ancestor out of here over two hundred years ago so we could have a free country.
