Enough with the jubilee already.

Go Lorna. Go Patrick. ?

Didn’t realise Thursday was a Bank holiday, thought it was a Friday and Monday. Going to spend my time quietly at home.

I agree Kalu ….. my sons arriving from USA today. Not been home in 3 years. Very excited …!!!!

Lucca,

“Ridiculous comment” So you did not support Jeremy Corbyn? He was the chosen leader of the Labour Party! My MP, Tulip Siddiq voted for him. As she lived in my apartment block he visited. I think she regretted her vote. I am not sure whether you supported him, but the tenor of this thread could lead to that impression.

I do not believe that my comment about Harry and Meghan was ridiculous, but you have made the statement so it is up to you to give reasons for your opinion. Calling out another member of this group without any justification seems unfair to me.

Your comment that not being a jubilee /royal family fan must lead automatically to wanting Corbyn as President was IMO completely illogical. As it happens I’m neither a Corbyn fan nor a Labour voter.

Secondly your statement that Meghan and Harry are coming over “ to steal the limelight “is claiming a knowledge you cannot possibly have.

With the greatest respect, she's already had one of those.

Has one of what ??

I would have liked my small street to do something, perhaps put up some bunting, get out some tables and perhaps a gazebo as you cannot be sure of the weather and do some baking to make a little party.
I knocked on a few doors to try and get some interest going but nobody wanted to celebrate the 70th coronation. Most saying who cares about the Royals. So I tried after all I am not overboard for the Royals but I do respect her Royal Maj.
after all she has given 70 years of great service and now at her age she deserves a bit of celebrating.
I am therefore taking myself off to my sons on Friday and spending some time there and seeing my baby grandson.
On Sunday I am off to see my other three grand-children and spend some time with them.
The Queen is getting on in years now who knows what is around the corner it is not a time to be miserable and even a small celebration can be done on a budget.

Reading the wrong tabloids again volver?

Oh dear.

How about calling everybody who isn't a Conservative a Corbyn supporter? Does that need justification?

Thanks for that Grany ! ??

How to survive the jubilee weekend – for republicans

Wow. I’m very much in the minority in gransnet but thankfully not in the real world. I think it’s fabulous to mark an historic event/achievement particularly given how crap the last few years have been to be able to have something positive for the country to celebrate together, idea of street parties, jubilee events to share in the community.

You'd think so, reading any Jubilee threads, wouldn't you!!
You'd think those who are anti-Jubilee celebrations would just ignore it all ?

"I’m very much in the minority in gransnet"

I don't think you are ?

Hear, hear, I am in full agreement with you but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on the matter.

Me and you will be waving our flags and raising our glasses of champagne ( lemonade !!! Hahaha)

I'm a Conservative too - not terribly popular here but I can cope - and a royalist. I'm pleased that HM has achieved this unprecedented milestone but that doesn't mean I have to go wild, decorate my house and have a party with the entire village (which isn't having one as it happens). We can each enjoy ourselves, and if we wish congratulate HM, in our own way surely? Do we have to make a public show of it?

A couple of my quite close friends are traditional Conservative voters, and very nice people they are too.

To put all Conservatives under one umbrella is plainly wrong - same as assuming all 'lefties' are Corbynites.

My Conservative MP wore his little Pantherella socks out campaigning to keep our local A&E department open (successfully) to avoid a 40+ mile journey to the next one... something that benefitted the elderly, and those without transport, or friends and family to help them. In other words, the more vulnerable locals. I spoke to him once - he really is a gentleman, and cares passionately about the community. And he always answers emails. To compare him with some of those currently, erm, in the news... is like comparing chalk with cheese.

Thanks Lucca!?

Some of you are determined to be rude …My Daughter is Elizabeth ofcourse! I enjoyed Kath and Kim on TV but my children all have traditional Christian names. Somehow I feel that I am an outsider here and not welcome.Dismissed as a Conservative although I grew up during WW2 in a Council house in Liverpool.and have worked in public service all my working life.

Good post. You may well be a conservative but you are able to see other points of view and talk sense ! Oh hope that doesn’t sound patronising…….I’m a bit too tired for expressing myself properly !

Who do you all want as Head Of State! Jeremy Corbyn?

Ridiculous comment.

harry and Meghan coming over merely to steal the limelight!

Ridiculous comment. How do you know ??

No. Nothing surprising about people going on about things they don’t like any more than people talking about things they do like.
Is it a widespread belief that “everybody” dislikes the monarchy and that nobody likes/respects/admires the Queen. I didn’t think so but if you know differently . . .
