I’m not much into the British politics, so what’s the problem here? The dude was the heir, everyone knew he would be king, that’s what “heir” means. As far as I know he didn’t do much as king to ruin the timeline, because he thankfully just couldn’t. So basically nothing really happened, one rich dude inherited some money from the other rich dudess, that’s all, what’s the fuss?
Eh. Old Lizzie did alright toward the end. Her ancestors and governments were quite monstrous (especially that weapon Thatcher). However, she breached protocol during her state visit to Ireland in 2011, to start her speech in a formal Irish language introduction. Further, she came the closest that any monarch that I’m familiar with to offering an actual apology to a former colony for the way that her country had treated them over the centuries.
Prescriptions are free, we have no water bills either. The crime rates aren’t really that high, the violence stuff basically only happens if you get involved. This may seem a weird thing to say but paramilitaries are generally not as bad as smaller gangs in some parts of the world, and they’re easily avoidable if you don’t mess with them (Although if you’re English you are better living in a Unionist area, Irish people would be better in the Nationalist areas). It’s actually not a bad place to live!
It literally has a quote on it about Northern Ireland. Although it would serve as both a “we love the King” mural as well, people here are pretty patriotic (which is a normal pattern in anywhere in the world where national identity gets threatened, like mainland UK in WWII or cold war era America)
Really depends where you are for people to be “patriotic” I live in a mixed area outside lisburn and most people around it couldn’t give a fuck about the royal family or British shite, go into a nationalist area and it’ll be the same. Places like sandy row or shankill obviously will have more people who are proud to be British and fans of the royal family.
Right, so the majority of people here aren’t patriotic. Recent studies/polls shows that most people here don’t identify as British so that would be those that identify as Irish/Northern Irish and they’re unlikely to be patriotic to Britain.
It took me longer than it should have to figure out that this was not, in fact, an advertisement for Crown Royal, a brand of liquor available in the U.S. (and presumably elsewhere?).
