[TV] Coronation 2023 ***Official Match Thread***

[A1X]

Did the nonce make an appearance?

In full regalia

So proud.

They love their country.

They love it so much they’re prepared to turn it into a rubbish tip to show how much they love it.

Sorry, it was a glib comment based on my previous post.

I mean that lots of Australians do not believe what happened is part of their history. They avoid responsibility by blaming everything on the Brits. Even though many atrocities were still happening well beyond Federation.

You should probably update your history then if you think the British influence stopped after 1901.

The Chief Protector of Aborigines role was created by the British in the 1830s and continued up until the start of WW2 in some states.

I mean Gallipoli is a prime example of the still strong British influence in the colony sending young Australians to the slaughter.

In WW2 they were still sending young Australians to the UK to defend the crown rather than stay home to defend our shores.

Rather than tell the story for how it really was. Stone Age tribes get supplanted by more advanced cultures they try to paint this romanticised story of the noble tribes being some how different to any other tribe that ever existed.

The same story that happened in Australia also happened in the British Isles to the tribes of people that preceded the tribe before them.

It happened all over the world.

Good article in the Guardian that echoes my thoughts on the Coronation, and says it better than I would.

Protesters in handcuffs and nonstop bling: this coronation has been an embarrassment | Polly Toynbee

Other European royals would never have risked a display on this scale. From his much-mocked pledge of allegiance onwards, Charles’s gamble has gone terribly wrong

There was an article in a newspaper (I think the Times) the other day with a load of photos of the crowds at the last coronation.
The amount of rubbish lying around was ridiculous (and was the main topic of conversation in the comments below, amongst the "everything used to be so much better" brigade that makes up most of the commentators).

Long way to go before Australia accepts and moves on from what happened. There is a large chunk of the country who dont see the atrocities as part of their history but all done by 'the British'. Then you have the quite insane argument made in the post you quoted.

Luckily many of us here are more supportive of trying to heal the rift and improve things for our indigenous people.

Long way to go yet though . . . Especially when. Indigenous voices are not listened to and dismissed as morons. How anyone can complain that the indigenous people are not the biggest fans of Britain and the monarchy is beyond me.

No just kindly remind them that the next person along may have killed them.

Maybe you should ask them to be less shrill and perhaps thank you for saving them from the other fella.

You are the first person on this shitty little forum that I would offic

If the cap fits and all that, and I'm pretty sure it's made to measure for you, judging by your subsequent responses.

As you mention education, you might want to check how to spell racist correctly. Surprised you got that one wrong really. I thought experience teaches wisdom, but clearly not in your case.

Anyway, I'll leave you to it. Seems my bingo card is already full and as someone once said... 'Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it'.

Just because you're a pedantic little man or girl doesn't give you intellectual superiority!

Not sure where you come from mate but where I live it's still a democracy and people have a right to express their views. You're the one thing in this little forum that I will happily put on ignore. If I met you in real life it would be short and sweet sunshine!

This is exactly the sort of thing I read this forum for.

As is this.

 

[South Oz Seagull]

Firstly @1066familyman was historically correct.

Secondly the “some of my best friends are black” defence really isn’t a good look.

Thirdly, you’re new in this “pub”. Be nice or the bouncers will be round to escort you out

Yeah that's right. Shut down dissenting views that aren't consistent with the club. Sooo weak!

 

[South Oz Seagull]

As is this.

What the f*K does that mean? Learn to express yourself.

Scumb*g....you're back and in a backhanded sort of way I think you're defending me! You'll probably disagree but unlike a lot of these turkeys it's good to know you have a few facts handy!

You okay, hun?

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

You okay, hun?

He's just sore because the Aussie government didn't give them a bank holiday like we have.

 

[South Oz Seagull]

Hi mate. Under siege from the Club, but doin' OK. Around here unless you tow the fashionable and rather naive line of the day, a bunch of old farts pretending to be young hip leftist libertarians will jump on ya and put the boots in! I suspect they find it a bit threatening.

Threatening? Are you for real?

As long as they are not 'morons' or a 'shrill minority"?

Or

. . . threatening someone on a message board because their expressed views are at odds with your own.

Is this how they 'democratically' listen to others' views around your way?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I'm not defending anyone. I'm just stating history.

Facts don't care about feelings.

I asked you nicely but apparently you’re going to be the unbearable, loud pub bore, abusing anyone who orders their regular pint. Time for a short break away while you sober up.
