Americans seem to be enamored over this stupid "platinum" jubilee. Our country was founded on rejecting the British Monarchy and totalitarian rule. I do not blame "beloved" 7 year old Elizabeth Windsor for her Nazi salute, but I blame her "beloved" 33 year old "Mum" Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and her uncle, King Edward VIII. I guess her baby sister Margaret is blameless. So the Royal Family are Nazis and are worthless, inbred drones on Britain.
shes impressive. seen a lot. been there. held up thru most of it seems. somebodys gotta be queen.
Why? Why does there have to be a monarchy? What did she do? Stay alive? Good for her.
Almost 50% of Americans tried very hard, and will try again, to make Trump the King Donald of the United States. And they would have happily had Prince Donald Jr.succeed him without election. It’s a human aberration, this need to worship not only things, but people.
Trump sees himself as royalty and raised his children as entitled and privileged.
I despise "royalty", "wealthy" and "privilege class". They are parasites of humanity.
So, I take it that you despise the mutlt-millionaire families in America, and how they get their dumb children into Ivy League colleges.
By the way, diamond is for 60 years. Platinum is for 70 years.
@Petter Billionaires too. I hate them all. My point is that this ridiculous spectacle "Platinum" Jubilee. I don't begrudge the Brits if they want to celebrate this nonsense that shuts down the entire country and gives them 2 days "holiday" My disgust is with AMERICANS who admire this old hag who's been a leech on Britain for 95 years.
@barjoe But consider this.
Every four years it costs the USA billions of dollars to stage presidential elections. Then there's the cost of providing security for not only the present president and his family but also the families of all previous presidents and vice presidents.
A constitutional monarchy is actually cheaper to maintain than a republic. The British royal family also meets a large part of its cost from its own private income.
Things like state banquets for visiting dignitaries are paid by taxpayers no matter what the system of government.
And, of course, there's no point in assassinating the monarch because the line of accession simply passes on the baton down the family.
You should actually read up on such things before venting your spleen.
