Poll: Will you be putting up the Bunting next month?

[Demon]

Echo chambers are really just communities of like-minded individuals, there is almost nothing special about what's going on today that wasn't true 50 or 500 years ago except that the internet has made borders an irrelevance in terms of connecting people who otherwise would probably not bother questioning their identity too much for fear of ostracisation.

What may have been a bulk largely moving in one direction is now a chaotic mess which will take time to adjust to if at all.

I agree entirely, the internet has a lot to answer for in creating and fostering echo chambers.

I'll be honest, not a fan of monarchic institutions and positions held by birth alone, especially when it includes a Prince who paid a woman £12 million (iirc) because she said something he said he didn't do.... (?!?)

That said I'm less in favour of a referendum being run for things when you have no idea what the alternative is. Blind voting is probably more damaging to democracy than an outdated monarchy.

In which case I can't see it changing much before I'm in the ground. In the interim a culling of the Royals down to the bare minimum would be a start.

Fair point and a valid opinion.

Andrew's payout destiny hinged on the Maitlessbashir interview; is he still considering an appeal (like trump, from this week)

How long does he need to consider this appeal? And Trump has virtually no chance of winning an appeal, he has finally been held to account in a court of law. Long overdue.

I notice the ones that complain the most about echo chambers are the ones that don't like people they oppose organizing themselves into like-minded groups. Like they're afraid centre-right people will band together stop any left-wing ideology

I was going to say, the only people I see complaining about echo chambers are the “centre-right” lot who constantly cry about SC.

Absolutely, but we know the main trait of the regressive right is just projection of their own insecurities onto others.

I expect the crowds watching and the troops participating were a pretty diverse lot.

Well some Royal fan was on the wrong side of protestors getting carted off

BBC News - Coronation: Royal fan held for 13 hours after being mistaken for protester

Alice Chambers was handcuffed on the Mall when police officers mistook her for a Just Stop Oil protester.

Stay out for hours to get a glimpse only to see the back of a Police van and be held for over half a day. Makes you feel proud to be British eh?

Indeed.
