Republicanism

[bcholmes]

Usually I’m, at best, ambivalent about the monarchy. I think that, from a political point of view, they have no purpose, but they make people feel good, and that’s an important function.

I was surprised, therefore, to realize how quickly I was willing to go all “abolish the monarchy” on learning of Blair’s knighthood.

Self-praise for crime is sacred to some, isn't it?

THEY DID WHAT

Off with their heads.

For me it was a combination of "we're not racist at all" and "Prince Andrew did nothing wrong". As I always say, no matter how inert they may seem, the royal family is never more than one generation away from being the worst people on earth, and they're showing that the wheel has finally turned once more. Burn it to the fucking ground.
