King Charles Delivers His First Christmas Message

I watched it -
somehow it didn't have the same power as the Queen's Xmas messages.

I'll watch it later, but it would be in good taste to not try to out do your recently deceased mother the first time.

Leave that sort of crap to Me-again Markle

That was good, thanks.

I actually thought he did a better job than his mum.
Although I don't know why we still put so much stead
on the words of the monarch from another country.

But Charles is your King.

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite,
held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by
divine providence that he, Charles, was to carry Excalibur.
That is why he is your King!

One never knows may have to share a cell with you and NAIL!

;D ;D

Man:    (laughingly) Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
        is no basis for a system of government!  Supreme executive power
        derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical
        aquatic ceremony!

Arthur: (yelling) BE QUIET!

Man:    You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some
        watery tart threw a sword at you!!

Arthur: (coming forward and grabbing the man) Shut *UP

Man:    I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some
        moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away

Arthur: (throwing the man around) Shut up, will you, SHUT UP!

Man:    Aha!  Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

Arthur: SHUT UP!

Man:    (yelling to all the other workers) Come and see the violence inherent
        in the system!  HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED!

Arthur: (letting go and walking away)  Bloody PEASANT!

Man:    Oh, what a giveaway!  Did'j'hear that, did'j'hear that, eh?  That's
        what I'm all about!  Did you see 'im repressing me?  You saw it,
        didn't you?!

Should you be reported to the authorities for sedition?

How will your life change if we swap a king for a wanker who wins a popularity contest?

You'll still be a fatto who goes on cruises.

Hard to believe that anyone in this day and age thinks it's a good idea for Australia to have its Head of State born into the position and living on the other side of the planet.

Pure lunacy.

Time to take the leap into the 21st century.

Xmas ?
What's the point of it all?
I stayed away from people this Xmas so I could have a nice quiet time
without all the problems.
At Xmas time people think they can eat bucket loads of rich seafood
and down gallons of alcohol -
then wonder why they get so sick.
They meet other family members who they haven't interacted with for years or more
and then wonder why fights start over all their miscommunication.
I'm over it - I'm glad when Xmas is gone.

Well I wont have to pay homage to some old wanker from the UK for a starter. At least I will have a say in who the wanker is.

And you are wrong on both counts in your second comment.

No I am over Charlie and his Camel !

👆 100% ✅

This SHOULD have been sorted back in the 1990's (when I was at Uni) as it was a hot topic back then.

Fast forward to 2023....and now my kids (who are at Uni) are asking why we never achieved this some 30 yrs ago!

I keep telling them that back then...the baby boomers were in the way as their numbers/votes out-voiced ours (Gen X and Gen Y). Hopefully this outstanding issue gets sorted sooner than later.

Who would want that revolting, ugly (inside and out), lecherous POS as their King? 🤢🤮

This is the issue that so many Australians cannot get their heads around - Establishing a popularly elected Head of State virtually guarantees a future constitutional crisis when the HOS and the HOG both claim the mandate to govern.

Can still happen now, have you forgotten Sir John Kerr and Malcolm Fraser!

A HOrSe or a HOG eh? 😂

At least they'd be AUSTRALIAN.

Also the constitution could easily be amended to incorporate provisions in the event of a constitutional crisis.

Kerr's actions tested the reserve powers, but he could not claim he had a popular mandate to act on behalf of the people.

An Australian president appointed by Parliament would prevent the HOS from claiming a popular mandate.

What most Australians have little to no idea about, (including nearly everyone on this forum), is that the tension between the English/British monarch and the English/British parliament required hundreds of years to resolve.

The situation was a standoff for many decades as the Westminster system is effectively based not on a monarchy but a duarchy - the rule by a 'monarch' and the leader of the parliament.

The resolution involved granting the monarch the right to reign (not rule) under the concept of 'the dignified' and parliament to rule under the concept of 'the efficient'. This is a pact between the British HOS and HOG that prevents the monarch from interfering in politics (the process of the efficient).

If the monarch was electable, that pact would be threatened.

How would an elected HOS be disabused from a sense of a popular mandate to govern?

Charles did a far better job. The only response Liz got from her Xmas speeches was predictable stupor. No one can remember a thing from years of Xmas speeches.

Liz was good one on one, but speaking was not her forte. Charles can do both.

Charles has a vision, but he's not so good on the follow-through. Liz was determined. She  could deliver the goods, but she had no vision beyond stability, more of the same.

In many ways, Charles the reformer would have been better suited for the 20th century: the end of empire and the transition to modern Britain.

Liz would be better suited to deliver the stability needed for the 21st - a post-Brexit Britain in steep decline: economic, social and environmental.

But history doesn't get to choose. People and politicians made those changes, not the Crown. Charles is stuck on top of a drowning perch at a time when Brits may well long for the stability and tradition of a monarchy, but Charles has never supported the Windsor model of excess and hollow pageantry.

In the midst of these paradoxes, no one is destined to get what they want. Many of those in the public service Charles championed in his speech will lose their jobs. Charles was criticised by the Tories for raising the elephant in the room.

Charles sees himself as an advocate, but he now occupies a role where this is haram. Brits, on the other hand, desperately want leadership. They have been utterly sold out by their politicians. Labor are as bad as the Tories. No one says what they think, what everybody knows. Charles carries an air of emotional conviction. If he was younger and had more energy, he could well carry out a useful role - a monarch with a brain if not balls.

But Charles appears just as burnt out as Britain. The years of tabloid ink have left their mark on the face now etched on their currency, for what it's worth. Britain's best years are behind, buried with Liz, or maybe ahead, in a future monarch. But they certainly aren't with Charles.

He does what he can, as does Britain, as do we all. We carry on.

So God save the King for now. And thank God you're not British.

Charles the Charitable.

Although he won't be remembered like his mother for her long reign while just smiling for the cameras and keeping her mouth shut.

But he has always been a man involved in many charities, setting up charities, humanities, cultural interests and more.

Sadly he was forced to take on that gold-digging Spencer Family concubine to produce an heir. The Spencers (Lannisters) hate the Windsors (Starks).
Winter is coming for Charles, sadly.

"gold-digging Spencer Family concubine"
Are you trying to be funny or just completely deluded ?

May or may not be true - who cares ? On the other hand the Late Duke of Edinbourough had many skeletons in his closet. One interesting one concerning a sea scout at the Brighton (Oz) yacht club in1956.

Well put with the exception the entire archaic idiocy of monarchy in general doesn't crack a mention.

Now is the Winter of our discontent, no?
Made glorious Summer by this sun of Wales.

And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean, buried.

But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;

I, that am rudely stamp’d, and want love’s majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;

I, that am curtail’d of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Tinted, untanned, hirsute

Deformed, unfinish’d, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up.

And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them.

Why, I, in this weak, piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity.

A devious Pakistani Bastard, a Dirty Little Invert.
I, Mustapha Khunt, shall deposit my calling card
At the British Consulate in Istanbul, as t'were,
Not unlike a polished tujd,
Resplendent in its fetid stench admired.

Yea, Sir Reggie may have his fun
But I, sir, shall have my sport.
For I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
Devious and determined that I am,
And out to prove a terrorist
To these lame, limpwristed leftards,
These softcocks we distain;
Despicable PC vandals that they are,
Selling out their once proud culture
To ones such as I,
Khunts by nature if not name.

Cunning, no?

They all do, dear, they all do. The one defining feature of the monarchy is the act of sodomy, a practice so engrained and bleedingly obvious, one wonders why Bobby and his tabloids bother to mention it.
