I'm not a republican but fairly indifferent to the Royal family. I'm sure it's a much tougher gig than it appears and the foreigners seem to lap it up.
However, we're a financial basket case at the moment and we're told we can't fund a decent pay rise for several groups of workers because of the risk to inflation. It strikes me as odd that many of those same people, are advocating us spending God knows how much on a ceremony where a bloke gets a new hat which he could easily fund himself. At best it's fookin tone deaf and will further the cause of republicanism.
