happy birthday to the brilliant Robert Smith. Here he is explaining why everyone should despise the monarchy

Robert Smith: "The reason people accept these royal honors is because they're so insecure. It's junk, and my country has been dragged into this medieval obsequence to royalty. It drives me mental."

one of Corbyn's best moments was when he refused to kneel before the queen as was traditionally required. The totally unhinged UK media class kept hectoring him over it, but he did not bend the knee to these deranged medieval practices and their adherents

this is all you need to know about who rules the labour party now and then

the great Dennis Skinner on the monarchy, and see the rest of the thread for some more great clips by him exposing the media class for its cravenness and servility to power

I’d say king but I don’t think he’d like that so goat 🐐

So pleased that this is why he's trending, spotted his name and my first thought was, oh fuck, what now.

So weird that the UK, Canada and territories can pretend to be western "democracies" while maintaining a systemic monarchy, with a f*cking king and all...

@DLgodlessbitch Ugh. The whole 'royal honors' thing. Srsly, 'Lord Sir' GFY. 😂

Robert Smith and Morrissey should make an Anti Monarchy Party and make peace with that
