I suppose that I should really join in if I want to keep my Dukedom and tracts of land.
Although I agree with your sentiment, I wonder if the nurses feel the same way as we do.I'm doubtless being pedantic here but clapping for nurses wasn't a meaningless gesture for me. It was for Johnson and co but I remain grateful for the NHS and all frontline workers who kept us alive during the worst of the pandemic.
More on the ball than odd ball… you’ve nailed it on the head why he thinks you’re a bootlicker…So we are bootlickers because we as a country turn out to welcome a new king to the throne, a tradition in this country that has lasted many hundreds of years but because a lot of modern society has decided they are bored with them or decided it is no longer relevant in their lives, we we are all bootlickers, you’re an odd ball son.
Have you been asked by a poll if you are turning out to welcome the King? I know I haven't and sometimes wonder if these polls give a true reflection of people's opinions.More on the ball than odd ball… you’ve nailed it on the head why he thinks you’re a bootlicker…
oh, and polls show there’s considerably less than 50% turning out to welcome him as “the one to lead us to the promised land…” so not the whole country…
Absolutely.And now that they're being pushed to the limit it's time to stand alongside them.
I do the yougov surveys regularly… may be not that exact question but I was one of the 75% who were either against or ambivalent to the coronation…Have you been asked by a poll if you are turning out to welcome the King?

Yes.So we are bootlickers because we as a country turn out to welcome a new king to the throne, a tradition in this country that has lasted many hundreds of years but because a lot of modern society has decided they are bored with them or decided it is no longer relevant in their lives, we we are all bootlickers, you’re an odd ball son.
I've said this from the off.And now that they're being pushed to the limit it's time to stand alongside them.

More like a billion, yet some of those within the sovereign nation itself find it a little bit embarrassing…..
I suspect you think I'm one of 'those' clappers. I'm not. Both of my daughters worked on the NHS frontline throughout and when the clapping was done and they were refused the payrise, it finished their morale and both subsequently left the NHS. This government stinks. I'm of the left, always have been and NHS staff deserve much, much better.I’m glad it was meaningful for you
I remember when their miserly pay rise was announced shortly after the clapping had stopped.
The clappers gave a little shrug of the shoulder and cracked on with their own lives.
Good because I put a dismal performance in anyway...every cloudPlay off final clash !!!
No one will get to see it !!!
Doh!!

I'm off to see The Dead Kennedys in Bristol on 'King Day', it seems appropriate some what .On the original OP - most certainly not. I’ve already talked enough about my feelings about The Monarchy.
The missus did eventually say the inevitable, “Our Mam has asked if we want to go round on Saturday 6th for a few drinks”.
I declared an immediate Code Red in the lads WhatsApp group and we’ve booked tickets and trains for Thirsk races. Sure it’ll be difficult to avoid the BS completely, but I’ll be out from Breakfast and returning home late doors.
All parties will enjoy their day much more thanks to my selfless actions.
The missus isn’t happy I’ve abandoned her like but I can’t be held responsible for her Mother and family forcing me into evasive action.

Never forget, one and all, that your future king of England said he wished to be reincarnated as a tampon so that he could live inside of the future queen.
So, what are you on, Legz?Good because I put a dismal performance in anyway...every cloud
