  1. @zefrog ew
  2. @zefrog At least it isn't a gay human centipede.
  3. “MPs to rename Big Ben tower Queen Elizabeth Tower" polho.me/NrmClD <Problem with these monarchists is they have no sense of history.
  4. Soho gets to the heart of what Queen's #jubilee really means to Britain with 'gay human vending machine'. shar.es/qyhtC h/t @zefrog
  5. @AdamBienkov @sundersays I'm not sure I find the argument persuasive either.
  6. @AdamBienkov @sundersays Article argues that support for the monarchy brings the country together, is a force for integration, etc.
  7. I don't want to hear this *fingers in ears* LALALALALALA "@justmckeat Prometheus sounds like a right load of old cock."
  8. @Scarletstand @sundersays @MatofKilburnia Whereas ofc it's an important strand of republican view that hierarchy makes everyone feel lousy.
  9. @Scarletstand @sundersays @MatofKilburnia i.e. presents monarchism as the feelgood view, whereas republicans just want more, sheer choice.
  10. @Scarletstand @sundersays @MatofKilburnia I also suspect Sunder presents republican view implausibly, in a way that makes it easy to give up
  11. The @Sundersays NS piece on the inclusivity of the monarchy an interesting contrast with Tatchell piece on royal indifference to LGBTs.
  12. @sundersays @MatofKilburnia After all, we all have our lost causes, whatever political persuasion we are.
  13. @sundersays @MatofKilburnia I'm missing the step, tho, between "Republicanism is a lost cause" and "Therefore, support the monarchy".
  14. Slightly tiresome slogan for an important article. “@pinknews: Comment: Why won't the Queen embrace the queens? p.ink.cx/Kl6LqE"
  15. It has been an awful day for people pronouncing the 'Corp' in 'News Corp' as if it were 'corps'. No silent p please journos!
  16. @LouiseMensch @TimMontgomerie @notoserfdom i.e. they are made free votes to avoid big bust ups, just coz divisive. That's my reading anyway.
  17. @LouiseMensch @TimMontgomerie @notoserfdom Seems to me that 'conscience' issues are picked pragmatically, not on principled grounds.
