I think the monarchy will die with her ,the younger generation have no interest in the royals and the older generation have no interest in Charles .I’m shocked at some of the answers on here - I expected a few ‘don’t cares’, but the majority of you don’t. This is something we will never see again in our lifetime. The Queen has devoted her whole life to serving her country and totally deserves it to be celebrated. Maybe I’m older than most of you and that’s why I feel that way . Each to their own anyway. God Save The Queen
I agree with you here.The Queen has devoted her whole life to serving her country and totally deserves it to be celebrated.
I do get you - but whatever money is spent on the Jubilee wouldn’t filter down to those in need unfortunately. There are always going to be the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ and I’m under no illusion that even if we didn’t have a Royal Family, the money saved would not go to those who needed it most. The government (whoever is in power, not taking sides) would siphon it off somehow, you can be sure of that. I’m sure I’ve read on numerous occasions that the tourism that the Royal Family generates more than offsets the cost of having them.I agree with you here.
But, at the same time, there's people in this country that can't afford housing, food, heating, etc.
Spending many.many.millions to celebrate someone worth many many many millions seems a bit... Tactless? In bad taste?
I don't know, just a bit.. off.
She'll be parading about in a carriage of gold whilst kids less than 5 miles away don't know if they'll be eating that night.
Dunno, seems, I dunno... You know..
I mean this forum is a vert small sample size. There are absolutely loads of people who will be celebrating it. I imagine London will be packed to the rafters, people buying a load of commemorative bits etc. I don't personally care for it that much, but I understand that there are plenty of people who do.I’m shocked at some of the answers on here - I expected a few ‘don’t cares’, but the majority of you don’t.
