This is a normal post Post-royal wedding
I've seen the board turn in to a watered down version of the Daily Mail comment section a bit.

But this is b3ta after all. Fingers crossed that most of them were sarcastic :P

This is a normal post too right butters dude
it has gone well right-wing in a weird way. so for e.g. - student protests in London and poeple on here were against the students. Tesco protest in Bristol and people on here were pro-tesco ("its a good shop" etc) and pro-police. And the royal wedding, well fuck me the place has turned into the mail. All these so-called liberals are really middle-class liberals who have no idea about class struggle. And bizarrely, if you mention immigration (which has benefitted big-business most of all and affected the working-class poor the most) and say you have issues with it they will call you a mail reader and ask if you are in the BNP. for fucks sake, DONT PEOPLE READ CHOMSKY ANYMORE????

(and for those who were pleased at the wedding arrests/saying it was ok to arrest people before committing a crime - you can fuck off you fucking fascists)

with love, Av

This is a normal post I seldom bother
with links for these very reasons. I mainly stick to the popular page so I can avoid reading the comments and the tirade against the more alternative posts. thankfully it is in no way a reflection of the opinions I get from the majority of people out in the real world and the circles I move in. thank christ

This is a normal post I think you're confusing "everyone" with "Happy Toast"

This is a normal post What confuses me the most
is why anybody cares at all in the first place? People that describe themselves as 'pro' or 'anti' monarchy are just weird to me. I just view the Windsors and family as irrelevant figureheads, though Charles seems like a fairly decent chap, what with the charity and environmental work.

This is a normal post For me
It's just a tad degrading that we're still doing this in the 21st century. That's all.

This is a normal post How are you, or anybody, degraded by a Royal wedding?

This is a normal post Haha.
Not the Wedding

Monarchy as a principal in general.

This is a normal post I don't personally feel like I am the Queen's subject
in the same way that any celebrity has any more worth than me, my family of friends. The fact the royal family exist has almost no bearing on my life.
The exception being public money being spent on stuff like this. And I think if you can't protest that, then there is an issue... But I really don't understand how you can feel degraded by a family existing. They are not even the wealthiest family out there. There are way richer and cuntier people kicking about out there.

Edit: I have written bunches of stuff today. I hope I am not coming across as a bit of a twat. I am pretty much pro-nothing.

This is a normal post it is the inherited priviledge
which pisses me off. they get don't have to work (any work they do is fucking PR), and people see them as the highest in the land in social ordering. all the plebs who think they are wonderful make me laugh. (and im a pleb!)

This is a normal post From what I understand
Willbertson is a Sea King pilot and his job has the same demands as any other Search and rescue pilot. He even married a plebonian.

And yeah, it is pretty much just PR. But I am quite impressed one of them got let loose on a helicopter.

I am pretty sure if you were exposed to the spoilt-shit-scene it would make you vomit how little some people do and think. It really isn't just the royal family. They are just sufficiently old-money that they get their faces on our coins.

I think they have been pretty much a waste of space since 1066 or some time before. At least these days they are not entirely publicly funded.

This is a normal post
I was chatting to a friend recently over pints and a certain political discussion board was the topic of conversation. It turns out that one of the people I'd been debating online with was actually him trolling. it was very funny looking back at some of the stuff he was coming out with and the arguments that followed.

This is a normal post Oh Please..

There's been a law on the books as long as I can remember called "Conduct Liable To Cause A Breach Of The Peace"

So, if you go up to a bunch of racist, scumbag, skinheads and call them a bunch of racist scumbag skinheads, then you're committing an offence as they're likely to try and beat the living shit out of you.

Same thing here. You don't go up to tens of thousands of happy people celebrating a marriage and try to fuck up their day. What's likely to happen is for some of them to try and beat the living shit out of you.

And, for the record, I can't stand the Royals and all they stand for.

Cheers

So the offending party is that in the minority?

This is a normal post What has any of this got to do with being in a minority?

This is a normal post I admit defeat on that argument.
Didn't word it right, really.

But it was never the intention to fuck up anyone's day. Fair enough, some people get offended easily. The main issue was to have a gathering, in order to hijack the media coverage more than anything (in the end there was more media than protesters and it never got reported anyway (they were hoping for a riot. peaceful demonstrations don't make the news)), to show that not everyone in the UK wants to bow down to the royals. It was well away from the centre of the event, and everyone there wished Kate and William well in their marriage. It was the spectacle of the occasion that most people were against.
