Are the Royal Family losing their touch?

Well, at least something has cheered you up. I'm glad.

Two thousand street parties and private bashes? Do they not know inflation is leading to unbearable food poverty?

Yes, we know.

So should we cancel everything and make joy unlawful?

Those who can and have will do their best to help those who have not.

Banning parties and festivities is not going to feed people.

I believe street parties are a matter of choice from town to town… not compulsory

I don't see that as the same thing.

It reads

I do not wish to participate in a pageant that celebrates a monarchical regime based on hierarchy, deference and inherited wealth, status and power. It is a leftover from feudalism that defies modern aspirations for democracy, egalitarianism and meritocracy

Hahaha

The costs of travel and tickets

What's your point Anniebach?

Sorry if that came across as a bit short kgnw28225, but the countries of the Commonwealth are mostly already independent. Many of them don't have the Queen as Head of State, and of those who do, they still have their own parliaments and governments.

When the Queen goes, Charles will take over as Head of the Commonwealth, which is a purely ceremonial role. After Charles, who knows? But the Commonwealth will continue.

When the Queen dies, the commonwealth will cease to be.

Of course it won't.

Really, where do people get these ideas from?

When the Queen dies, the commonwealth will cease to be. The British islands of the Caribbean have made it clear they want to be independent. Also Canada, and Australia have also stated that they too want to govern themselves. Time moves on, from when the Queen came to the throne. It is a different place now. Technology is huge. Computers, the internet, mobile phones, Not even touching on the universe. People in charge have to be able to manage all of this in their stride and interact accordingly. It wouldn’t do for the workers to be more adept than the Chief.

I understood that, but booing anyone gives a bad impression to those watching-including the younger fans. I’m not in favour of promoting anything that promotes bad behaviour. What’s the point of teaching them manners in school when adults are praising bad manners in public?

What I understood, too

That's what understood, too.

They feel that the FA, amongst others, was guilty of a cover-up (as do many others) and William, as President of the FA, was booed.

As far as I read, they were booing William - because, historically, they boo any symbol of the so called "elite establishment".

I think this stems back to Liverpool feeling they have been abandoned by various governments, and by the scandal of the Thatcher inspired Hillsborough cover up and smear campaign.

Perhaps it was more to do with Wiliam's position as President of the FA.
No it’s just a chance to show off bad manners by booing again.
They never consider that it reflects on the impression other countries get of our fans’ behaviour.

Well that's a bit ironic to actually support a game which is the epitome of an establishment of rules rules and codes. And then to boo other establishments.

I've bee told it is to do with Hillsborough.

However, William was 6 at the time of the disaster and the cover-up was nothing to do with the Royal Family per se. Even if there had been a President as H of S they would have, presumably, booed.

Perhaps it was more to do with Wiliam's position as President of the FA.

Interestingly, the fans who can afford to boo at home matches or matches at Wembley are better off than many Liverpool fans. I never noticed much support for the poor when we lived in Liverpool.
I wonder if those booing fans are contributing as enthusiastically to the food banks as they do to booing the anthem.
Booing costs nothing.
