You know, if you calculate how many people get sick at a #TaylorSwift concert, and how many sick people go on to infect an elderly or disabled person, you can probably peg that against a death rate and come up with a number of people her concerts directly killed.
I would be curious to see how many people the #Coronation and royal funeral killed for comparison especially since that was full of idiot Olds.
Man called Charles handled record haul of stolen goods in Scotland
He then declared himself "king"
Yesterday, King Charles “received the crown jewels” in Scotland in what legal experts are calling the biggest example of handling stolen goods in human history. This was Charles’ second coronation of the year, but he was quick to point out it was just a “mini-coronation” because he is exceptionally humble.
The state of these people. Do they not realise that the over-the-top bling and pomp is undignified and has the opposite impact to that which, I assume, they are trying to achieve?
A lot of people don't seem to understand #Charles III #coronation when pointing out that a lot of money was wasted, that could have been better spend on #SocialSecurity. Arguing this way is having it backwards.

Verse 1:
God save King Charlie, our precious future king
Long may he reign over us, let angels sweetly sing
Heir to the throne for so many years
But who needs experience when you're born with noble ears
Chorus:
God save King Charlie, the man who'll never die
He'll outlive us all, never asking why
He'll sit on his throne, and he'll rule with ease
God save King Charlie, the king we didn't need
So I don't know how many people know this, I certainly didn't until just a few minutes ago! But they released the complete recording of the #coronation as an album, nicely tracked out. It's available on Amazon here in the US so I suspect it's on other music/streaming services as well.
On the day of the #Coronation, my strategy was to avoid the whole thing, so I went on a one day #linocut#printing course - it was great fun, I learnt a lot & managed to produce something that was a lot better than what I had expected to do after a few hours of tutoring.... so here it is (now I've framed it); I'm now wondering whether to invest in all the kit to make this a #retirement pass-time
The pomposity and excess of the #coronation further reinforces the absurdity of countries like Australia and New Zealand delaying the evolution to full republics.
Interesting opinion piece in The Independent looking at what history teaches us from the abolition of monarchical systems and the challenges of an elected head-of-state with a democratic mandate:
While not perfect, it's certainly worth considering the true value of a neutral monarch without the democratic mandate to get involved in politics compared to the alternative presidential system of a republic.
