Atleast we don't celebrate royalty anymore. Right? Right???
Oi, mate. I know you were watching Doctor Who, however i've decided to hold up all TV broadcasts here for the next few days to inform you that the queen has died.
Also you're now the subject of that old berk, who you always thought was kind of a ponce, as they're now the ruler of the land by divine mandate. Waheyyyyyy...
How many people actually celebrate them, though? Like, percentage wise? The media maybe, out of a perverse sense of tradition, but the people?
Most people seem to range from festering hatred of the institution to indifference. Maybe enjoyment of the spectacle, or a dated reverence for an office that has long lost any true meaning, but actually celebrating them? Feels like that's something you don't find too much.
