UK Politics Thread (Part 5)

Sure, I know that, mate. He wants to be liked.

But is it positive or negative ?

Very much a side note, but It also often makes me curious why Charles is treated so more harshly in the British public than his far more uppity and distanced mother (who was far less human, I might add). She was always touched with the most delicate of silk gloves, observing from abroad. Which is ok. The latter is just an observation and has nothing to do with my point of course :slight_smile:

Good question. I’m not sure. His thoughts on climate change perhaps?

I think it has also something to do with Diana, as well as he looks not as masculine as some men would prefer. He is also far more sensitive as a person (which makes me personally like him far more than his mother, but that is me) and actually sometimes try to push opinions (like climate change and more) that are not entirely toxic but actually on the spectrum of caring a bit.
His mother was also almost deified by the British public, I note.

But I speculate, of course.

Where the fuck did this come from? Since when does being friendly enough with your neighbours to know they read the mail and worry a lot about crime in an incredibly low crime area become stalking and harassment?

Or even if you go to the shops and chat to people. Fucks sake. One of my neighbours said to me the other day, did you enjoy your rum? Because we bumped into each other in Co-op when I was buying it. I don’t consider that stalking. It’s just idle chit chat.

Apparently it’s more normal to cower in your house ‘keeping yourself to yourself’ and hoping you never have to speak to anyone you live near.

Stop the fucking planet. I want to get off.

Elizabeth died in 2022. Charles’ coronation was in 2023, by which time it was abundantly clear the UK was on its arse after decades of being pillaged by the wealthy.

It had been exactly 70 years since the public got to see with its own eyes a supposedly advanced society carry a bloke in a golden carriage to put a crown worth £45m on his head because of his magic blood. This privilege cost the UK taxpayer £72m when a great many subjects can’t heat their homes or feed their kids.

You cannot discount the impact of seeing this ritual firsthand.

The absurdity of this image in the 21st century, the utter detachment from any shared reality…without question for everyone who got all misty eyed there would have been another person appalled by the shameless extravagance of it all. People are waking up to how preposterous this all is.

The legitimate pedo in the family probably hasn’t helped either.

Parasites.

My favourite fawning coronation comment was said by some drooling lick-spittle on the bbc, who described it as a once in a generation event.

The guy is in his seventies :joy:

Very good points all of them, mate, but Charles was famously disliked by much of the British public (noticable enough for many articles to be witten about it in the serious non-tabloid Norwegian press since the 90s) long before he became king; so I am not actually referring to very recent history after the coronation.

I think so. But I actually also think his type of charisma, his percieved lack of masculinity and how he comes across as more “sensitive man” and “feminine”; also plays a role in some segments of the population. He has also had a fair few verbal gaffes (not super serious ones, but more on the unprofesisonal spectrum when he was a prince). Purely speculative, but I like to let my thoughts wander around :wink:

But he has an obvious lack of “perfection” in the role as galleon figure; I would say. But I am a very strange man, so I actually kind of “respect” such vulnerabilities, as long as those people don’t come across as malevolent. The “Perfect Ones”, I generally find less convincing…

Ps. I had not planned to debate UK Royalty today :laughing:

Pps. I solemnly swear that I will not defend any UK royal anything on this forum again…in 2026, at least (subject to change after a Swan Event or an Act of God :stuck_out_tongue: )

Does the village shop sell sense of humour’s?

I love it when posters post snide shit at lads they don’t like and afterwards claim it was a joke. Really adds to the place.
