King Charles III is to put refugees and the NHS at the heart of a “diverse Coronation”, according to the Telegraph. Here’s an excerpt:
A Coronation Choir made up of amateur singers representing the nation’s “faces and voices”, including LGBTQ+ groups and deaf signers, will perform at a star-studded concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday May 7th.
They will be accompanied by a Virtual Choir featuring singers from across the Commonwealth as the King signals his commitment to the international “family” of 56 nations.
It is not clear at this stage whether the ceremony will actually be directed by Danny Boyle.
It goes on:
A Buckingham Palace source said the three-day weekend would represent Britain “as it is today” while maintaining the best traditions of pomp and pageantry “for which we are rightly known”.
It has been designed to ensure that everyone who wants to get involved has the opportunity to do so. A royal source said the Coronation needed to be “majestic” but “inclusive” to reflect a diverse modern Britain.
Will the ceremony include a section in which Charles and Camilla stand in front of Commonwealth leaders, take the knee and beg for forgiveness for the sins of Britain’s colonial past? We can but hope.

Have you noticed that ‘diversity’ never seems to include the 83% of us who identify as white British, or the 90% heterosexual..? Where’s our parade.? Where’s our colour on the inclusive flag..?
I have posted elsewhere, and reiterate, that the word “straight” is sometimes used today euphemistically, and that “hetrosexual” is a made up word. However there is more I might add, and so so I will – though the debasement and distortion of the English language into a form of “New Speak” probably deserves to be addressed by someone considerably better qualified than me.
To be clear, the following can also qualify as euphemisms or made up words: homosexual; cisgender; pandemic; vaccine; social distancing; lesbian; gay; bisexual; transgender; queer; textiles; and so on. For myself, I prefer not to use such terms shaped by Freudian psychobabble and big pharma WHO newspeak. Some might say what is the big deal. However, we now have a situation where everyday life is badly affected by such nonsense. For example, apparently some people can now be in trouble for referring to a cissy as a man, even if he is a man, and we are forced to resort to nonsense terms such as a “biological man” or “biological woman”, as if there is any other sort.
These terms do not make our 1933 OED. Some, though not all, make it into the 1970 reprint’s supplement of new words. “Homosexual” is described as a “barbarously hybrid” word. “Heterosexual” is illustrated with a quote from Freud, ironically about “converting a fully developed homosexual into a heterosexual”, something which is now proscribed in some places.
Whilst I am all for good manners, you see that if you give these people an inch, they may take a mile, and that everyday life will be upturned with harmful consequences for many. Consequently, I am resistant to using their language and I feel that there does need to be some pushback. “Heterosexual” apparently simply means that one is healthy – it is well known that the seven characteristics of lifew include reproduction, therefore someone who has psychological issues preventing this is by any reasonable definition disordered, unhealthy. Is there really a need to use the language of Freud? None of these words are cited from earlier than the late 19th century. They managed then. I say we could manage now perfectly well.
So someone who is not straight is bent or crooked. That is not very nice.
And by the same token someone who is not gay is a miseryguts…
You see though how newspeak tries to influence the mindset and make some things unthinkable.
There have been countless people in history attracted to other people of the same sex who have been given an inch of understanding and compassion, and have returned a mile of kindness, support, understanding, creativity and ingenuity. Alan Turing, despite his appalling treatment, likely played a pivotal role in ensuring the survival of our civilisation, though like most people, he probably would have placed more significance in his abilities than his sexual preferences.
There are good reasons rooted in natural selection to justify the view that the existence of homosexuality (or whatever you prefer to call it) – far from being disordered – is not only evolutionarily benign, but might also be advantageous, like the ability to sacrifice one’s life in a war or survive beyond reproductive age.
This rather begs the question, what is disordered? Which so far as I can tell from the psycobabble appears to be more or less behaviour of which one disapproves, which as we have seen shifts from time to time in a society.
In any case, my objection is more to the casual use of Freudian language reinforcing a Freudian mindset. Other mindsets are available, and are in fact supported by our people. We also believe (in our church, to be clear) that sleeping around is not a good thing and that in some cases is positively a bad thing; that the gold standard of a stable relationship remains marriage between one man and one woman that is open to life; that Freudian newspeak is not conducive to this; and that whilst we have every sympathy for people suffering from temptations, we would encourage them not to yield to ones that tend towards the misery of unstable relationships; and that further more, there are people with some disorders who most people would discourage from seeking intimate relationships – for example, I understand that Germany has recently banned bestiality – thus Germans who can only find fulfillment in such relationships would be well advised not to seek (physical) relationships. We are of course completely tolerant of all people, with all their faults, but tough love, real love, means we would still advise them against certain behaviour.
We don’t need one , just living will do for us !!!
Because white people cannot suffer racism according to critical race theory, since racism is actually “prejudice plus power.” Whites have all the power and privilege which apparently means they cannot suffer racism.
The old umbrella word for ‘heterosexual’ and ‘cis’: normal. It’s standard postmodernism to destroy a base ‘normal’ in order to collapse society.
Working in the media, I’ve known plenty of gay people. Some are friends – in the sense of ‘hang out at their houses, watching TV’ – but unlike the media pretends, there simply aren’t that many gay people in the country.
If you watch TV, you’d think the UK was 50 per cent black, 20 per cent Asian and 40 per cent gay, when in fact it’s more like three per cent, seven per cent and 1 per cent.
You treat all people with respect, but the postmodernists have weaponised minorities in order to enslave the majority. A few years ago, I was asked to describe what someone looked like. I suddenly had this fear, being in London: could I say ‘black’? Was that word even allowed anymore?
He needs to be dealt with the same as the first Charles.
Damn right. The bloody traitor. I wish this PIA family would furk right off.
BBC News this morning reported that the Coronation Choir will also be made of NHS workers and Ukrainian refugees. A Royal Flush – beat that.
So hand-picked for talent then? Maybe they’d like to add in some climate scientists and green activists on the alto section!
What a shame we couldn’t turn them into the ‘castrato’ section.
No space in the King’s realm for those who formerly supported his crown most strongly.
is he free to make these decisions and does do because of foolishness, ignorance or malevolence towards his people, or has he been captured and remains subordinate to foreign sovereigns or domestic usurpers.
Foolishness and ignorance are a dangerous cocktail when you have “Yes Sire” idiots whispering in his ears with their own agenda.
Complete with placards. To save the envoirenment, I believe the coronation chair should be made by MFI
MFI – so yesterday! Surely it should be a flat pack from the IKEA cardboard dumpeldinkum budget range that comes in several colours with a handy pictorial instruction sheet. It can then be gaily thrown on the compost heap to further the growth of the palace vegetables.
All his money, privilege and access to the best health care and he still has sausage fingers. I’ve literally never come across anyone else in my life with this issue.
What you on about Mogs?
His fingers look like the sausages made by your local independent butcher – big fat ones. Not those skinny chipolata things. Ideal for typing I’ve been told.
I did ask a certain person if that’s what affected them a few days ago. ; >)
haha, figuratively only I’m sure..
Oh right. Thanks Trev. I was thinking Mogs had been on the Advocaat.
LOL! Just Google Prince Charles, sausage fingers..or something similar and you’ll see what Mogs means!!
“Eveninks and morninks..I drink warninks”.. you’ve got to be a certain age!! LOL!
Advocaat is Dutch for “lawyer”. Just FYI..
Nah it’s a brandy and Baby Cham if I’m feeling retro. Credit me with some class!
I definitely wouldn’t ruin a decent brandy with babycham.
Kidding…it is indeed rank. We were allowed a bit at Xmas as kids and I think my taste buds have never recovered.
Incidentally, regarding our convo elsewhere about mRNA entering the food supply. Nothing about bugs but you might find this interesting. It includes a short video;

Thanks.
No wonder big ears needs help getting dressed.
Is that why he confidently offered to be a tampax for his then mistress?
You need to search for some close up pics of him and have a butchers at his hands. You’ll see what we mean.
Very witty Mogs.
I see what you mean. They’re the wurst I’ve ever seen.
Hahaha! Worth a response, not just a “Thumbs-up.” : >D
Your turn for the Cat Ass Trophy!
Camilla enjoys them.
Grotesque
For those reasons ! “I’m OUT !!…
“As it is today”.
that won’t please the woke, LGBTXYZ+\~ because there are far more white, conventional, tax paying heterosexuals than HM Charles want to acknowledge.
Could Charlie-boy get any more ridiculous?
What a pathetic replacement for Queen Elizabeth II.
A few years ago I would never have thought I could write this but the Royal Family will shoot itself in the foot with this palaver..and those who have always hated them will rejoice…..and those of us who may have stood up for the Royal Family and the late queen, won’t bother with this twonk……
I won’t be watching the woke-fest and quite frankly, now that the Queen has gone, and the real Royal family and any love or respect we had has literally gone with her…..I couldn’t care less that these z-listers are going to torpedo themselves into oblivion…
That’s me and you both + most of the UK I reckon! Which seems at odds with the Global agenda ? Would Charles sell out or maybe he’s been had !!
100%
The sooner the better
And if he does choose to exercise his free speech and express these themes in his coronation, why not? Some of these themes I’m in agreement with, and some not, but I thought you were all in favour of free speech?
The Coronation is a Constitutional Event and he has a responsibility to be above politics. He has no business inflicting what are effectively his personal political views on us.
…missing the point somewhat…
Of course he can say what he wants, we DO agree with free speech, but that freedom is inclusive of people being able to disagree with your opinion, and to criticise you if they don’t agree…
…..if anything you say can’t be questioned, criticised, or reviewed…it’s not free speech is it…if dissent isn’t allowed it’s totalitarianism……?
A thousand year old ceremony is not the place to to force woke politics into the agenda. The ceremony should be the same as ever it was. I no more want woke politics than I want swastikas or hammers and sickles on flags draped around him.
The Monarch doesn’t have freedom of speech. The Monarch sacrifices freedom of speech in order that we all have free speech instead. If Charles speaks ‘freely’ on one side of a debate, he puts the Monarchy at odds with a section his country. Constitutionally, the Monarchy is meant to be a silent pivot.
Was a monachist but now its dead to me.. We need patriots now not Big Ears and his virtue signalling cohorts.
The one thing, possibly the last thing this country could do really well was pageantry, and now it seems we cannot even do that, too racist?, too white? not equitable enough perhaps? This ceremony is about spending millions on praising and lifting up a man, who did not lead us into battle, fight off an invader, or secure any advantage for the country, and is not a leader, you think he would just be grateful for the ceremony, the pomp etc, but no we have to continue to pretend that a major contributor to bringing this country to its knees, the NHS is our greatest product, followed by mass uncontrolled immigration and sexual preference as a great feature of this countries strengths, a celebration of failure and delusion.
Am I paying for this?
Excellent post. Just what needed to be said.
Judging from the comments here and in the Telegraph, there is very little support for this group love in.
Has anyone yet realised that Monarchs do not bow or kneel to anyone and stand as equals to other Monarch and leaders so they can talk as equals, and representatives of their Countries. When a Monarch kneels to someone or group, not religious he kneels for the whole nation, historically every man woman and child of his subjects would have had to kneel at the same time. I, for one do not support this, it is a humiliation.
Regardless of race or creed, man has done some pretty bad things in the past, by todays standards. Those days are gone, those people are dead, today it is different, remember so the mistakes of yesteryear are never repeated; So get over it and live not bath in a purported guilt and live this life to the full.
Sadly the modern woke approach is that of the Khmer Rouge. Destroy the past. Destroy all past knowledge and start again in year zero with an agrarian culture in the (killing) fields.
The Madness of King Charles 111 At a cinema near you now!
The only reason the ravens haven’t flown from the Tower of London is that their wings have been clipped. Charles is a lifelong traitor. He’s King of England by birth, but not my King. The Royal Family fell long ago. William and Kate is the illusion people want to see. Harry and Meghan are the reality, sadly. And no I’m not Team Harry and Meghan: they’re loathsome, but they represent the true, sneering, snobbish, self-righteous face of the new upper class.
Finally, if even more proof was needed, the bloke is barking mad. He has never had to suffer from the incompetence of the NHS, nor had to had his job ‘displaced’ by a low paid ‘refugee’. Yet he has the brass neck to make these two issues the centre of his coronation. He’s totally tone deaf and so thick he can’t see the reality of his subjects’ world.
Perhaps this is his “let them eat cake moment”?
I hope all the attendees will be arriving at the coronation on their bicycles. Horses might be thought better but they emit too many dangerous gasses.
You speak for your own horse…
