STOP TALKING ITS THE UNDERWORLD PRINCESS!!!

[silurisanguine]

Now that the Parasite in chief has had her platinum Jubilee, i thought id share some fun facts about the monarchy in the UK and the Queen in particular. All of this information is easily found online.

-The Queen negotiated clauses in the equality and Diversity Act so she wouldn't have to hire 'coloured or foreign' staff in the palace. that clause is still there today.

-The Queen tried to use The State Poverty Fund to heat Buckingham Palace even with her own personal fortune.

-She lobbied the Scottish Parliament 67 times to ensure that new wildlife protections laws woudn't apply to her estates there.

-The main throne she sits on is worth an estimated £40,000,000,000. Her jewellery Collection worth circa £5,000,000,000 made with 28, 578 diamonds and gemstones, almost all of which were stolen from countries Britain invaded and enslaved...sorry colonised. She also banned the Police from searching her estates for stolen artifacts.

-Her crown estate is one of the largest property owners in the country. It has over 26 Royal residencies, inc 9 palaces that remain mostly empty and property portfolio that generates £300 million per year. Yet she had a family thrown out during the covid eviction ban for a £32 unpaid bill.

Her son is a nonce ( pedophile) that she protected through a £12 million payout.

-The 'free' book that was sent to every school to tell kids how wonderful the queen is cost the taxpayer £12 million.

-She has £420 million personal wealth, which doesn't include that for-mentioned crown estate or her antique furniture or her jewellery collection or all the stolen gold.

-She and her family cost the tax payer £345 million per year in security and other protections.

-The jubilee cost the tax payer £28 million , set aside by the chancellor for the purpose of funding it. Whilst there are currently 14.5 million people living in poverty here in the UK.

Celebrating the incredibly rich, racist and privileged whilst millions of our own citizens are suffering is disgusting.

Some sources:

- Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal (2021) (the article says that there is no longer a ban as of the 1990s, however the clause is still there to allow a ban.)

- Queen asked for poverty grant to heat palaces (2010)

- Revealed: Queen vetted 67 laws before Scottish parliament could pass them (2021) (It's unknown if any of the laws were amended due to her lobbying, but the lawmakers were required to get her approval.)

- Revealed: police barred from searching Queen's estates for looted artefacts (2021)

- Hampton Court mews row: Couple face eviction 'over £32 bill' (2020) (The tenant was using a communal socket to power his electric car.)

- Prince Andrew settles US civil sex assault case with Virginia Giuffre (2022) Prince Andrew pays settlement ending sex assault case (2022) (Guiffre was 17 at the time of the assault. The settlement was initially estimated at 12-14 million, in which case he probably couldn't have afforded it (without the Queen's help?), but some reports say that it was as little as 3 million by the end. IDK I couldn't find anything firm from a reputable source.)

- Queen’s jubilee book for schools to cost £12m (2021)

Scotland should declare independence real quick, while they’re not looking

#AND WALES#and what’s this? ITS IRISH REUNIFICATION WITH A STEEL CHAIR 

so glad i read tags

[sealwomen-deactivated20231204]

“she just died, try to have some respect, she was a human being” that sure is a lot of words to tell me you’re not indian or pakistani or bangladeshi or irish or welsh or scottish or jamaican or west indian or kenyan or south african or zimbabwean or working class or princess diana

[spacelazarwolf]

i wish all working class brits a very riot when your government tries to spend a billion dollars on that bitch’s funeral while your cost of living skyrockets, and i wish all non brits a very support working class brits while their country catches on fire

THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD BE QUIET

[enlightenmentboy]

You're laughing. The royal necromancer just lost their job, and you're laughing

[qqueenofhades]

Try to have some respect the queen just DIED. It's not like she was evil or anything

And why should I do that for the head of a family that oversaw the British Empire's legendarily brutal concentration camps in colonialist Kenya during the 1952-1960 Mau Mau rebellion, has personally and repeatedly shielded credibly accused rapist Prince Andrew and tried to get the scandal to go away, personally paid Andrew's financial settlement while the family treated Meghan Markle terribly and gave her none of the same protection, exerted a huge amount of control over UK public finances without any transparency or disclosure (while also receiving huge amounts of that money), got to personally edit laws according to her likes and dislikes, enjoyed sweeping legal immunities that are described as a "threat to UK democracy," is the most visible figurehead of British colonialism even as her descendants put on a horribly tone-deaf Caribbean tour (twice in one year!) that was basically about unreconstructed imperial imagery of the kind that is poisoning Britain, while the entire country buys into the fantasy that she is an impartial, uninvolved, kindly and benevolent grandmotherly figure....?

Nah.

[benreyplush]

y’all won’t be laughing when the queen stands up and her health bar regenerates as she enters her second phase.

[spacehorrors]

it is also worth noting that this will be used to cover up the inaction on the cost of living crisis. expect a bunch of "uk coming together to mourn the queen" bullshit soon when families are choosing between heating their homes and feeding their kids

[spacehorrors]

not to mention how the funeral costs will show just where the country's priorities are but any political figures pointing that out will be demonised for being anti-monarchy

[bloodlinemagick]

its so difficult to explain the absolute dread and fear to Americans about the Queen dying because they leap immediately to jokes and memes or rolling their eyes and asking if you're a royalist.

babes....they've planned a national MONTH of mourning for when she dies. all programming shifted to mourning the Queen, and god knows it'll be tory brainwashing.

a funeral costs around 12 million for a prince!! how much is it going to be for a Queen!! a new coronation's price???

the things this black hearted government will cut, or shove through parliament, under the guise of mourning?? the martyring???

energy bills are predicted to rise to £7700 ($8800) a year, do you understand how this can be twisted? inflation to 24%? they're already using the war in Ukraine as an excuse, but this??? gold mine for them.

I'm not saying don't make your jokes, but PLEASE understand if a British person seems horrified and shell shocked because We Know What Comes Next but even then, not under such a fascist and authoritarian government in such a poverty inducing time.

[creepinginyourheartbabecomeonnow]

I dont know what to say

We lost her too, we lost our mom too. Cardiac arrest just the other day

I wasnt there when it happened, i was out in the city looking for a job. My brothers didnt know what to do, they just watched her go

It's all happening so fast, im so lost. We're orphans suddenly all in the span of a month. I havent even processed our dad's burial yet and now we're supposed to bury another parent?

We still haven't buried her, we still have to pay the morgue before they transfer her to a funeral home

It's all so expensive, it's so overwhelming. My mind has been shut down for the past three days

I always say i dont know what to do anymore. Now it's more real than ever

[creepinginyourheartbabecomeonnow]

As much as i want to disappear forever right now, i still have three little brothers who are depending on me

We have to pay the hospital for when they sent an ambulance to aid her, the morgue, the funeral home and a cemetery lot for her

I am estimating everything to have a total of at least 1,500$ or more

Im very sorry to ask again, times are getting harder and harder for everyone but a reblog goes a long way. Even a prayer helps us so much in this situation, i and my brothers will appreciate it so much

Go to paypal.me/alexmngs and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
