Has anyone wished good luck to the cancer yet?

@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.

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

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.

i wasn’t aware cancer could get cancer.

AbsoluteChicagoDog , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

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

Phegan , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

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

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

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.

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.

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.

octobob , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

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

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.

fight back against the “left wing extremists” she claims have taken over Britain’s institutions.

She is either cynical and pandering to extremists or fully detached from reality herself.

When you are that far to the right, everything looks leftist. They can’t see the centre where it is because it looks so far left to them.

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

Rumbelows , to unitedkingdom in Disgraced singer Gary Glitter refused jail release

I worked a job once where the manager instigated an ice breaking exercise… you know the sort of thing… tell me two truths about yourself and one lie.

One of his truths was that “he once licked sweat of Gary glitter’s chest.”

I kind of bet he regrets that disclosure, now.

Liz Truss? Liz Truss the PM whose lasting contribution was going out before a cabbage? That Liz Truss? The Liz Truss who flip-flopped on a major policy that saw her biggest supporter ousted from the Exchequership faster than a head of lettuce rotted? Why the fuck would anyone take her seriously beyond her shelf life?

Because her being forced in to significance remains convenient for the puppeteers with their hand up her arse. They still want everything that they told her to do the first time.

That would be the Liz Truss that added thousands to everyone’s mortgages. It’s amazing the shit that the British will take from politicians.

There are some “secret” Tories??? All the ones I know are very loud and proud!

jabjoe ,
@jabjoe@feddit.uk avatar

I’m afraid she isn’t wrong about their existence. People ashamed of their voting. People who don’t believe they voted for anything but their own self interest. People whose family and friends “won’t understand”. Shy Tories have long been a thing.
