King Charles III

RTE showing it live!  Maybe I should post this in the WTF section?

Why though?  It's a moment in history that will have many people on this island glued,  the same as the Queens funeral. Whether we like it or not a large portion of people in Ireland are heavily influenced by and interested in what happens across the water. You don't have to agree with it not to be interested in it.

They also showed the US Presidential inauguration, did they not?
These kind of events are cheap TV, I recall Andropov's funeral being on years ago.

Why isn't it on GAAGO?

Because it isn't football or hurling?

Who cares about cost of living, budget cuts, state of the health service etc...................you can always rely on these clowns to show what their real priorities are.

Apparently John Hume said years ago ' you cant eat a flag' he was not far wrong.

Somebody with too much time on his hands.

I presume that's that lad's living room in the photo. Crazy stuff.

I'm sure they can get their tacky shirts and hats from other shops. I'd imagine street vendors will be doing a roaring trade. You should see the range of stuff they pull out of the woodwork to sell on NYC streets on Paddy's Day.

Anything to play the victim.

What sort of small minded mentality must they have to worship billionaires who look down on them from priceless golden thrones while people are starving on the streets? I'll honestly never get it.

Heard a clip on BBC news last night the correspondent reckoned George will never make king. Surprised to hear that, very surprised to hear it on the BBC. Tide must be changing on the main land.

Born to rule over them....

The class system depends on Royalty to head it.
It's the poor buggers who can hardly feed themselves but take some sort of joy out of watching royal weddings, funerals, coronations with a sense of pride that takes me to the cleaners

Good to see more people not buying into the 'glued in' nature of this event.

I understand it in a local context in that bootlicking the royals is part of their cultural identity and they're that insecure and stupid when it comes to identity that they don't even question it - what could be more British than loving the royal family? Never mind having a pot to piss in or not. It is still  warped and i find it genuinely sad how many people from working class backgrounds succumb to this shit.
