Are you....
1) Excited to celebrate her Maj's glorious reign. Gawd bless 'er!
2) Ignoring it. Up the Republic!
3) not really bothered either way but happy to get 2 days off.
I'm very much a 3. |

Can't be arsed with these marble mouthed elitist wankers as they have done absolutely nothing for us commoners of the world.
Absolute waste of time and money that could be better spent on our nurses,homelessness and more. |

Silver Jubilee I got a silver spoon in Primary school, Golden jubilee I got a Medal
Nothing for the last one and a day off for this one.
I think Queenie deserves to just take it easy now. Not a Royalist by any means but she’s done her bit. I’d abolish the lot once Charles gets his hit at the ball |

Spending a fortune on this rubbish while some people in the country starve sounds like a fantastic idea to me 
A billion ££ supposedly
While some people can't heat their house / feed their kids or themselves.... Well done Britain.

Could not give less of a fuck..dont get any days off either so at least wont be subjected to the wall to wall tv coverage of the ridiculous pomp amd ceremony. She should have said she didnt want it and donated the vast sums of money spent on it to charity and struggling families. So..is that a 3? ?? |

"Strange how many folk are ranting about the cost but never think twice about the silly money paid to football players."
I agree with you on that..although that is not taxpayers money that pays them..whereas this will mainly all be coming out of tbe public purse |

I'm not a royalist by any means but making random stupid uneducated comments does grind my gears. The monarchy is worth around 1.7 billion pounds to the UK economy, through tourism ect, how much money does that generate back into the system I wonder. All people see is what they want to see . Without that extra money how many more houses wouldn't get heated or kids fed . Ps I'm self employed so while I will neither have work over these forced holidays neither will I be paid for them but I'm pragmatic enough to let the queens supporters have their days of celebrations. |

According to my Alexar the FA get a fair amount of money from the public purse. |

Money goes to the crown for merchandise etc. As for tourism, there’s no real evidence the royals themselves being in this money. Historic sites could generate this money if not more as costs could be better managed. |

The FA probably do get some funding no doubt. But the FA dont pay players either. Clubs do. Whos income is mostly generated from tickets..merchandising sponsorship..private money and TV rights. |

Is that 1.7billion net after all costs? Of their security..private jets to other cou tries..maintaining all of their properties..paying to get Prince Andrew out of a court case (allegedly) ..the list goes on.
I was just saying the money spent on this could be better spent elsewhere in my opinion..in a time of high inflation and a cost of living crisis for many.

So I'm stupid and uneducated??
The Royal family have been kept In luxury for years while normal working class suffer wage cuts and inflated food and energy prices.
They just paid a sexual abuse case 12 million pounds so Prince Andrew wouldn't be jailed... Hardly going to pay if he wasn't guilty are they!!
They bring in billions through tourism???... And how much of that.. . Since you seem to know everything... Is put back into the public purse??
Sooner we have no monarchy the better.

You don't know how much of the money they make goes back into the public purse ?
So your commenting on a subject you haven't educated yourself properly about , does that make you clever ? What's the opposite of clever ?
I rest my case.   |

I'm no royalist but the Queen has done an amazing job representing Britain abroad so give her a nice day, shes entitled to it , what I will say though is once her reign is over get rid of the royal family, elect a president and every 4 years have an election. |

Your missing the point bud, I'm not the one that made accusations without looking into the true incomes and outgoings of the worth of the royals. That was you.
Like I said , I'm not a royalist or for or against but if I'm going to slate someone for something I would at least know what I'm talking about otherwise I'd just be a stupid uneducated twat with an unfounded prejudice against someone or something. You come back to me when you know your facts and figures and you can prove everything and then we can discuss is as adults and not someones personal prejudices. Ps don't simply quote a newspaper article on Prince Andrew, we can a quote tabloids. Give us the income generated versus cost to the taxpayers . |

Their racists who accept pedophilia.... They had Diana killed because she was with a coloured guy... They have paid ££ to cover Andrews sexual abuse case.

I work with the public and they, me included, are fekin erseholes. The Queen has to out up with way more erseholes than me and she has to meet the utter piece of shite every week. I wouldn't or couldn't do what she does.
I like her as she has a great sense of duty and she doesn't moan about the afore mentioned erseholes. I think young William, and Kate, have the same sense of duty. I do agree that there are too many being paid from the public purse though. |
