With the UK’s Chief Executive and thought leader incapacitated Scotland should declare independence.

Issue is, I do not think they are going for a Scottish Republic unfortunately.

Wilzax,

Darn, I was hoping for a car crash

octobob,

Becomes king

Fucking dies

Lmaooo

Pyr_Pressure,

And least he got to be king first :P

I haven’t seen any new coins yet with his face on it. It may be the shortest run of coins with a new face. I’ve had the same face on my coins for my entire life, these will be the first with a new one.

Flax_vert,

Shortest run was probably Edward VIII. My dad found a coin with Charles’s face on it. I also bought a few commemoratives. I think it’ll probably start appearing on £1 coins soon as they are the newest

English taxpayers paying for another coronation ceremony be like: 🥶*

  • can’t pay to heat their house.
Flax_vert,

I mean, it did bring more money into the economy than it took out of it, same with Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, so we could profit off of this

Blackmist,

Don’t knock it, we get a day off when they die and a day off when we get a new one.

Sometimes we get a day off when they’ve been on the throne for a set number of years.

So for that reason I’d like to keep them.

Give us two extra bank holidays a year, and you can King Ralph all these motherfuckers.

HexesofVexes,

Our royalty are really just diplomats with better PR and a lot less privacy. Poor guy just lost his mum, now he’s got cancer - I hope he recovers.

Tangentism,

He will receive better healthcare than 99% of the population after living a life drenched in privilege.

My sympathies lie elsewhere

HexesofVexes,

I mean, I also feel sympathy for you.

There is a lot of hate there, and someone/something must have really hurt you to make you feel that someone deserves cancer because they’ve had money in their life.

I hope whatever you’re going through gets better, that whatever has happened in the past becomes more distant, and that today is a lucky day for you.

KoboldOfArtifice,

It’s a bit harsh to put such words in their mouth. They said their sympathies lie elsewhere, not that he deserved it.

Tagger,

You know sympathy isn’t rationed, right?

Yes, he’s lined in unbelievable privilege. Yes, he’ll get the best care available. Yes, it is reasonable to believe and campaign for the monarchy to be abolished.

But this is still a man who has been diagnosed with cancer. For anyone, that is a scary and upsetting diagnosis and, upon hearing about it, it is only reasonable to feel sympathy for that person.

Xer0,

Don’t even bother. No one here cares. They want him and his entire family to die horribly.

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

I hope he makes a full recovery, but you know, the jokes write themselves.

Now is the time for Scotland and Wales to declare independence and join the EU. It would be hilarious.

Phegan,

It’s a bummer that his reign may not last long enough for the British to decide that maybe a king is a bad idea.

Flax_vert,

It isn’t. Our head of state is a kind old man while most other countries have some form of psychopath

ComradePupIvy,
@ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Do you by chance know how popular the next guy is?

AbsoluteChicagoDog,

Oh no. A rich person with access to the best medical care in the world is sick. What ever will we do.

rickyrigatoni,

i wasn’t aware cancer could get cancer.

Chef,

Has anyone wished good luck to the cancer yet?

ComradePupIvy,
@ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I have… I have also bribed the cancer, and I have also started to write the chant. I am thinking of doing a remix of the catchy Lizzie’s in a box with a Charley’s in a box but leaving the rest the same. I also think once he is gone the guy who got banned from having eggs in public in the UK should be allowed to have eggs agian.

i_love_FFT,
@i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml avatar

What’s that story about eggs?

ComradePupIvy,
@ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

To summarize, a man Patrik Thelwell threw an egg in the general direction of Charley, the court ordered a 500 m restraining order (I will agree perfectly reasonable) from Charles and his wife, and the other is he is banned from publicly possessing eggs. That was late 2022, early 2023 he was arrested on suspicion carrying eggs. They also alegedly have counter terrorism following them.

I understand that all in all this is quaint considering what the US would do if for example eggs where thrown in the direction of Joe Biden, Offically the sentence was a year of community service (along with the no eggs and restraining order) but it still seems beyond rediculous. and I would say what the US would do is incredably extreme. The restraining order and Community service would have been sufficent

HandBreadedTools,

Bro please go outside, go for a walk or something

Tangentism,

Maybe you should go wash your mouth after all the bootlicking.

The guy was born into an anachronistic system where he has had absolute privilege and his family indulged in political interference (a lot to their own benefit) despite claiming to just be impartial figureheads.

Last summer a football player had to campaign to keep free school meals going through the summer so millions of kids in poverty could fucking eat.

So what if some privilege cunt has arse cancer?

Xer0,

born into Key piece of info here. Not like he had a choice, was there?

HandBreadedTools,

Lmfao apparently it’s “bootlicking” to point out a criminally online take. I, for one, don’t think people should be judged based on circumstances out of their control, like where or when they were born. There are plenty of reasons to dislike the dude, like no really there are so god damn many, but him being born into it is not one of them.

I’m not even saying you shouldn’t be pleased to see his death, just that making jokes about the suffering that occurs from cancer is a take so distant from reality of course you’ll only see it online. If you are genuinely pleased by hearing about someone’s cancer diagnosis, you should really do some self evaluation.

If you think him dying from that will purge the UK of the monarchy, I have a bridge to sell you. There are actual things you could do to help end it, the original comment I replied to isn’t one.

reverendsteveii,

Liberté, Egalité, Chemotherapé!

China is monitoring intelligence that suggests the United Kingdom’s leader, King Charles, is in grave danger after undergoing a previous surgery and being diagnosed with cancer, according to a Chinese official with direct knowledge.

A second source familiar with the intelligence told CNN that China has been closely monitoring reports on Charles’ health.

Another Chinese official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Charles’ health are credible but the severity of the cancer diagnosis, as well as the type of cancer Charles is diagnosed with, is hard to assess.

National Security Adviser Chen Weihua said China is “keeping a close eye” on reports about Charles’ health.

“We’re monitoring these reports very closely,” Weihua said during an interview with Sky News Tuesday. “As you know, the United Kingdom is a very superstitious society,” he said.

Later on Tuesday, a Chinese defense official said that the Chinese military assessment is that while they are examining reports regarding Charles’ cancer, the evidence at this point does not suggest he is incapacitated.

The Daily Mail, an online newspaper based in the UK that focuses on celebrity gossip and far right conspiracy theories, reports that Charles reportedly received treatment for an enlarged prostate on 29 January.

Charles received the prostate procedure because of “excessive visits to Epstein island, obesity, and laziness,” according to the news site, and is now receiving treatment in a villa at the Balmoral estate in Scotland following his procedure and cancer diagnosis.

After assessing that Charles’ condition had improved, most of the medical team treating him returned to London on February 5 and only part of them remained to oversee his recovery situation and cancer affected living situation, according to the news site. CNN is unable to independently confirm the report.

What gave it away?

I tried to make it really obvious at the end with the “visits to Epstein island” stuff.

I thought you had posted an article that was weirdly spinning the story about the UK monarch to be an anti-China hit piece until I got to

Bobmighty,

I love the people in here standing up for him lol. An absolute fuckton of people die every day. Basically every moment has human death in it. No one defending him cares a single wit about them, but they’ll get wound up over this old man dying of something many many people die of daily.

Considering everything that’s come out about the royal family, I can’t find a single care in me for him. I feel more for the countless faceless strangers dying worse deaths. This old pampered fuck will die well in comparison. He doesn’t need any sympathy from me.

crazyCat,

Damn straight. Eat the rich and royalty.

@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

you don’t have to be a royalist to feel empathy for someone with cancer…

Bobmighty,

I’ll save my empathy for cancer patients who don’t have his history.

@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

Saved for the people who’s losing the NHS while the royal family have doctors 24/7, paid by tge taxpayers, ready for them.

Tagger,

Again, empathy isn’t a limited supply

n3m37h,

Sympathy can be found between shit and syphilis in the dictionary

AeonFelis,

Could this new development mean that it is possible that his reign may not be a bit shorter than his mother’s?

systemguy_64,

I dunno if we want to see a 142 year old Charles. We saw how decrepit Phillip looked by the 2000s, and then in 2021. Imagine what another 40 years will do on top of that.
