This is going to round them up into one place like a crude census, and it's evident that there's only a few hundred of them in total. So basically harmless. Leave them alone.

Ach. BBC News channel now talking to various simpletons who are camping out on the mall, the better to see the object of their obsequious adulation. Including one Murrikan wummin who has come all the way from Texas, professes to be a "royal junkie", and is wearing a fucking swan-shaped hat (I'm really not making this up).

Where the fuck do all these morons come from ?

Don’t do this to yourself. R3’s Jazz Requests is very calming.

We probably don't need a Coronationballs thread, but Montegrappa, the manufacturer of generally fine pens, is trying to get in on the action, thereby proving that Italians can - er, royally - fuck up their marketing in their "Coronation Spring Sale".

They did this.



But the Thick White has a normal bag...

And also this:

[Watchman]

“Thick White”, should be popular

[MisterMuncher]

"Thick Cut" is but a letter out

There's only a little Jack here...

Coronation Bingo; every time Nicholas Witchell has an orgasm

Even the god of the Anglican church is unimpressed. yr.no say it's going to rain on and off all day today.

The Establishment's media arm has it on both their channels today, in addition to their news channel. Nice of them to understand not all license payers are interested. Lefties, my arse.

On Mailonline, it's business as usual as they do their best to troll their readers by focusing on the arrival of those celebrity guests they know their readership despises. Ant and Dec, Emma Thompson, Katy Perry, Stephen Fry etc.

Stephen Fry? So many people disappoint me. It's like with many supposedly rebellious, anti- authority rock stars. As soon as Buck House flutters their eyelashes and dangle an MBE or knighthood in front of them off they trot , kow-towing and doffing. Plenty of honourable exceptions of course, who decline honours.

Coronation Bingo; how many times MiL says “nobody does pageantry like us”

[Abernathy]

You cannot fail to have noticed, as I have done, the rather insidious spin that is currently being propagated, begun some time during the reign of King Chazza's mammy, that the monarch somehow exists to deliver "service" to the people of the UK. The intention is to mask the still persistent, though archaic, truth- which is that we, the people, are the subjects of the monarch, and notionally, at least, subservient to the monarch's will (this is factually correct in several instances, such as the multiple exemptions from inheritance tax, etc, that the monarchy continues to benefit from). The propagation of this myth of "service" began, as far as I can tell, with the many tributes to Phil the Greek's alleged "life of service" when he popped off a couple of years ago, and continued through the endless tributes we had to endure when Brenda finally shuffled off this mortal coil. Now they are using it to attempt to put a positive spin on the obscenely ridiculous taxpayer-funded fol-de-rols taking place as I type. The vox pops with the credulous simpletons lining the route of the gilded coach overnight feed back the news that the mythical "service" spin has taken root, at any rate with the gullible Daily Mail-reading parts of the population at large.

I can think of no way in which King Charles III has, or ever will, provide me, as a citizen, with any sort of recognisable service.

Can you tell that I'm finding the whole absurd, needless, obscenely expensive pantomime taking place today, complete with wall-to-wall BBC toadying, rather disgusting ?

Aux armes, citoyens!

WTF

[kreuzberger]

My goodness, I have just exposed myself to five minutes of this utter nonsense.

Systemic racism, inherited dubious wealth, privilege beyond measure, and 250 million quid - and the best show they can muster is a not-very-good school play.

Risible.

I'm watching out of fascination with the sheer, off the scale weirdness of it. For example, practicing Hindu Rishi Sunak reading a passage from the bible.
