I agree, not the god part just not into religion. I was rather disgusted to hear on the radio some football "fans" were objecting to the National Anthem being played though.
I loathe football and anything associated with it and think it disgusting that hatred and or politics is brought into any sporting event. And I suppose ball kicking too. If these haters don't like it here or have objections to our Monarchy, or this countries religion, then they are free to leave. |

"I assume you have to consent to being bound.
I'll be working and ignoring it  "
Ah my nemesis  . Actually working too, shall we arrange fight club?
I’m obviously teasing and we may sit on opposite sides of most debates, but always keep me entertained. You’re the ying to my yang. |

What an ironic and contrary statement. You say you hate it when politics are brought into sporting events - maybe the fans do as well? And maybe they don’t want their game, which is totally unconnected with the coronation, tainted by playing the national anthem.
That doesn’t make them haters. It makes them the same as you. And, like you just have, they have made their feelings known.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I cannot stand football, football players, or some fans that aren’t really sports fans. But why should they leave England because someone decided to play a national anthem? |

If you're not a fan of the monarchy or religion you're not really free to leave though are you?
You can't just up, chuck and move to another nation (not since brexit anyway) without that nation allowing it.
I'm pretty ambivalent to the monarchy (I've met Charles and he seemed a nice enough bloke) and hate organised religion of any denomination.
Whilst sometimes I'd love to live abroad I don't see why I'm obliged to like either the monarchy or the states religion of choice. Whatever happened to free will?

Agree completely. I used to be a staunch monarchist but the current state (no pun intended) of affairs has caused me to reassess my position.
It seems I’m not alone as I’ve read hundreds of posts over the past two weeks. I think the next 10-15 years are a good time to consider the relevance of the monarchy |

I object to the monarchy and dispute that the country is overly religious. I was born here, can trace my family back a couple of hundred years to here so my opinions are undisputedly as valid as yours. I would consider leaving if it wasn't for the amount of flag waving Little England idiots who were conned in to voting for Brexit- so they could 'take back control'...so now i've got less options available, but at least we're doing so much better than the rest of the EU now  |

£100 million it’s costing us for a WEF shill to wear a ridiculously overpriced hat and continue to live in extreme luxury while we the great unwashed starve,freeze(in winter),live colder,poorer more stressful lives struggling to make ends meet…….Anyone who supports this travesty is insulting and a traitor to the British people. |

whose it costing though? Haven't seen any money leave my bank account. There's about 65 million people live in the UK so roughly £4 each

I am looking forward to the Coronation, I'll probably never see a Coronation again
Had an amazing day today celebrating. We had a Coronation day at Nursery with a party for the children, it was pretty awesome
And going to watch it live in the park with a picnic. Anything to bring people together and have a celebration |

The fans haven’t been given a choice - they are just going to watch a football match where the national anthem is being forced on them.
So it’ll be their freedom of speech to show support or not.
Damned by something they’ve not asked to be part of.

Not that I know a lot...
But..:
I’ve always mocked the royal family when people say how hard they work when they live a 10 star life style...
And when the women who have a child have servants and god know how many nannies and then say “ oh she is such a good mum”
And yes it pisses me off how much money they spend at our expense...
But..::
A lady at work said to me today as I said I’m not really interested in it...
It’s possibly a once in a lifetime event after the queen dying...
It’s part of the history of the modern world and all nationalities and all walks of life and religions regardless of creed or colour young or old should learn from it....
For such a small place like the British isles
We are a very powerful place on the world map..
People can grissle and moan about it but a lot of people have come to this country from around the world to have a better life and risk there lives to get here still...
If the structure based on the royal family wasn’t there would we just be like Eastern Europe or Africa for example where there’s been wars for god knows how long and it never seems to end..
Anyway...
We should all be proud to be British and enjoy a great historical event...
And if you don’t like it!?
Suck it up...
Because the royal family has made the world a better place for all of us... |

Money spent better like feeding our homeless putting our own people in hotels free energy for the elderly and vulnerable not so some jumped up big eared sausage fingered billionaire who’s never had to think about a bill can sit on a chair and wear a crown…..and the real sickner is all the doe eyed people waving a little flag cheering their own demise into digital servitude…….I hope he goes the same as the previous King Charles’s |

Totally agree with your views...
But look at the structure of the country on a whole...
I’m a single white English male...
Can’t get a bean out of the social or any help with bills etc...
I’m lower than a dog.. Hahahaha
But look at all the people who do get help...
Most could work but can’t be arsed and the social give them to much money...
Right or wrong sometimes the structure compared to probably 98% of the world is brilliant...
Where in the world can you walk into a hospital and get free help..
Get food for free..
Etc etc etc.. |

I think its an obscene waste of money.
If Charles truly wanted to modernise things, he could have started by paying inheritance tax and his own money used for this.
You can bet that it would have been less extravagant then.

Working today and Monday.
I hope people have a nice day, but I simply can’t support or take an interest in an institution that elevates people to such an exalted status based on the vagina they happen to be fired out of.
They are the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas from Germany (nothing wrong with that) - a dynasty that’s a relic of another time. That’s before we get on to the extremely murky financial affairs, dubious morals, the shameful denial of the existence of disabled offspring (who died relatively recently) etc, etc, etc.
To be honest, I find it mystifying, depressing and repugnant that the UK remains so riven by class and deferential to people who aren’t where they are by merit.
It’s not North Korea, and it’s important that views that challenge the state and status-quo are heard. In that spirit, I take on board what those who feel differently say, and I hope the Royalists amongst us enjoy their day |

I think lots of Republicans would equally argue that a lot of people who are monarchists have deep-rooted issues too. We can both play that game .
I’ve also heard massive intolerance and rudeness from monarchists too. We both play that game too.

Well, I’d disagree on the last bit. I have a “posh” side of the family in the home counties who are fiercely royalist. I’ve had 50 years of them sneering at anyone who is a bit different to them on that subject (and many others).
Anyway, off to work we go . |

I get some people dont like it, but the anger level really is truly eye opening
Isn't it?!
I'm not particularly bothered either way but jeeez some people.
Nice to have a strong view or two, isn’t it?
About things in my actual life then yes, about people I'm never gonna meet and have no impact on my day to day life? "
It's just another day in paradise |

Except living in a regime with which one disagrees, paying taxes to support them, and having them monitor our legislation before it’s passed… no impact at all. |

It's very Interesting watching all the military processions and the all the different people arriving, that this coronation does mean a lot to.

The anger level at the Queen's funeral shocked me more. "
You only need to look at various conflicts around the world where people bomb and torture and maim each other over utterly inconsequential shit to understand that, despite our protestations to the contrary, we are a species full of irrational, intolerant cunts. When you catch yourself wishing death on someone for whatever reason you really should sit down in a quiet corner and reassess your morals. |

I see they got into the not my king protests early. Had all their signs away and the organisers arrested.
Good day to sell stationery in Central London. All those republicans need going to have to make their own placards and quick. |

Bloody hell. Life must be so fun for all you angry people. I’m off to get my red white and blue on and party. Love it. So lovely to see all the kids having their picnics yesterday and having so much fun and the communities coming together to celebrate. |

Bread and circuses, but we can't afford the bread because the clowns got paid too much. |

I see it a bit like when people get obsessed with soap operas.
I feel absolutely no affinity with the monarchy whatsoever.
If you want a sense of community, get involved in something in your community? Because you aren't in theirs.

You know, my life is my responsibility not anyone else's. As is yours.
Would anyone actually want to be in the royal family? I sure as hell wouldn't.
I neither agree or disagree with them. But I do know it's things like today and the jubilee and other stuff that I can't quite remember that is actually quite enjoyable for most people. A time to get together with friends/family and stop being moaning miserable twats and smile! Yes even me.
I don't even like Charles, I'm all for Harry being king. Now there's a ginger I'd happily do.
Now pass me the Pimm's!

I heard the rehearsal went well, but it wasn't raining then and only the hardy 'stake my spot a week ahead' people for crowds.

The horses are gorgeous, but a lot of them and not afraid or ashamed of their natural bodily functions. |

"It's the only British coronation I'll see in my lifetime.
God save the King.
He couldn't even save Andrew
Andrew wasn't King.
Oh. So you need to be a king before you can be saved but he's sinned committing the act of adultery marriage vows "
The comment was "God save the King"
You said, "he couldn't save Andrew"
Andrew wasn't King. |

Indifferent to the whole monarchy thing really but if I start to think about the fact that some people are apparently born better than me I could get more anti. |

Well the ones who tried to peacefully protest at the existence of the monarchy have been arrested with little reason or explanation of what for before they even started- what a wonderful democracy this Kingdom is #tugsforelock |

People keep saying it brings the country together but for me it just shows the gap between the rich and poor even more. After the years we have had, it's just bad taste in my opinion. |

The historical context will look at this as the first where women have had such prominent roles.
Traditionally, there was a particular boys choir used for coronations. They were told this is the first time they won't sing to give other choirs the opportunity to include girls.
Elizabethans to Caroleans.
King Charles has had the longest apprenticeship. |

My one take away ,so far , is the display of the Union Jack. Personally It opens up a lot of questions in me , it feels it takes a royal event to see our national flag displayed by everyone proudly.
Over the past few years I have started to dislike our country and it bothers me . I look at the USA with a sense of jealousy that a nation shows heart bursting pride.Even Immigrants embrace the flag immediately, not something I see in this country . The USA has a horrendous history of treating blacks ! Still has ! U.K. had a horrendous history of racism but has slowly turned that negative racism to a better place . So suggestions of our ‘British empire’ heritage depicted in all its sordid glory-by the flag is surely unfounded .
I guess in the end it’s what does the national flag stand for now ?
As for the royal family …there was that time that Harry and William propelled the royals to a more modern approach to the population and it breathed excitement culminating In a wonderful wedding that showed a fun personality.
Unfortunately this has declined with the deaths of the queen and Phillip , the saga of Harry and the disappointment of Andrew.
Do we really need them ? Judging by the outpouring of peopke lining the streets suggests we do , although this could be a population desperate to party and smile or feel a sense of love for our country .

If people enjoy it all the better
Not for me though
Working and no interest whatsoever

Once in a lifetime?
Not wishing Charles III ill, but we'll probably have another one in the next 25 years, and I hope I'm still around |

A country created by and for immigrants (at the expense of the indigenous people) offers a reason to pledge to the flag. The narrative of the American dream and their freedoms is as much a myth as their idea of equality and democracy. I observed the inculcation of shame for not showing pride in the flag, starting at nursery school. Classes start the day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
I'm glad our children are given more opportunity to think about their allegiance, but we have our own versions, and that is played out here with the rituals we observe.
Our flag is a contested thing. We see its parts at sporting events and on each nation's day. It feels like an uneasier alliance than at any other time of my life. The Coronation offers some strengthening of those alliances for some, but not all.
The world comes to big occasions, few other nations could say the same. 130 other nation's royals and Heads of States, and their partners, arrived over the last few days just for this. They did the same for the late Queen's funeral.

Don't worry too much about the Union Jack.
I have been out and about while all this was going on and have hardly seen any flags on premises and two on a single Range Rover.
With luck, flag waving is a dying ritual. |

Think the allegiance to the flag goes back to the civil war era, but is now more of a tool to indoctrinate and provide fresh cannon fodder for the military or try to force a certain political agenda. A compliant population that follows the hallowed icon blindly is easier to control and manipulate than a population that question everything |
