    Have the monarchy, if it's to your taste but lose the pomp. Spend the money on something that will benefit the population in years to come.
    Who really benefits from commemorative tat made in China? Wave a homemade flag at Charlie being pushed down the The Mall in a wheelbarrow. He'd still be king.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Neutral.
    I struggle to understand abstract things like this. It’s basically an idea and a man made construct. 

    To me it’s a nonsense; regardless of how long it’s being going on and the history. It’s a hierarchical construct made up by people. 

    It means nothing to me at all. It’s like Coronation St or Lord of the Rings. It’s a story on the TV and in the newspapers. 

    Gardening I understand. Cells, DNA, organisms, light, water, soil structure, seasons. 

    Cars I understand. Physics, climate, weather, birds, migratory patterns, illnesses etc etc. 

    I can’t feel anything for something I don’t understand. 

    I don’t really care if it costs money or if they bring in money but I can’t watch it and gain pleasure from a nonsense.

    Waste of money . Shrug shoulders
    A lot of cash but if that’s what it costs then that’s what it costs.  A quarter of a billion well spent in my view.

    There’s none so blind as them that will not see, nor none so deaf as them that will not hear.

    presumably you're talking about yourself?

    No, @Hostafan1, I'm writing about you and people who share your view. 

    You wrote  "history is made every single day. I have no intention of watching any of it."  So, since you 'have no intention of watching any of it' does that not imply (shout, even) that you 'will not see' ?  And by extension, 'will not hear' ?
    When there's always biscuits in the tin, where's the fun in biscuits ?

    and YOU will not see that £250,000,000 spent on the coronation of a lying , cheating adulterer is a waste of money.

    Well, that's your opinion .... note OPINION ... and you are prefectly entitled to it and I respect it.  Perhaps you might respect mine ?  And other people's too ?

    Lots of lying, cheating adulterers out there.  Probably a lot on this forum.  Careful you don't alienate them.

    there are indeed, but they don't have £250,000,000 of tax payers' money spent on them for a day of vanity
