ilx ranks the royals

it’d be very discriminate murder imo

Yeah, we could just wing Harry and the in-laws

Pippa Middleton goes for a run in West London and distracts other runners with her bum

she's not even a royal though. surely she will be spared ilx's cruel revolution.

George Brett
Saberhagen
Bo Jackson
Quizenberry
Eric Hosmer

along with all other royal-adjacent figures, pippa will be given the opportunity to answer a thorough multiple-choice questionnaire to determine her ideological purity after the revolution occurs

no respect for steve balboni

i'm pardoning her

and meghan markle because she is american

no respect for steve balboni

Balboni's pathetic HR record standing for 30 freakin years is one of the most embarrassing things for any major league team

Why does this poll assume I have a "favorite royal" or that such a thing is even possible?

doesn't matter. voting is mandatory.

write in vote for King Edward Potatoes, which the original grower labeled the variety "Fellside Hero". Which sounds even worse tbh.
xxxp
Yeah I think this thread is as good as any to dis American Indie Rock royalty and Stephen Balbini's Shellac are a reet pile of rub imo!

american indie rock royalty vs. the british royal family

I voted for the big bottomed blood sausage

another prince andrew voter eh

lol

the royals aren't even that good at being the royal family - Diana was proof you can do it with more agility and charisma and populism.

that said, my grandmother's MBE for her work with adults with learning difficulties is her proudest achievement, and I kinda like that the source of that recognition isn't tied to a political party and the baggage that would entail. The royals are obviously not "politically neutral" but they have no real power, if they tried anything they know it would be game over for them.

Diana was awful.

no princess michael, no credibility

Diana was awful in the same way the royals are awful but she was better at doing what the royals do

afaict the Hanoverians have never been popular, apart from George VI, who was a late sub anyway.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

31 lickspittles

There was no option for "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out."

LOL no votes for the future King and his consort.

... I mean, the one after Charles the Chump.

Meghan was always going to win this, surprised at how close it was.
Well done you two weirdos voting for Andrew.

I like how Liz's three sons have grown up to exemplify three distinct strands of overpriviledged dickholery - pompous windbag, sleazy moron and clueless imbecile.

that there was no option for: 'drag this lot into a dingy cellar for summary execution by machine gun fire' was the major failing of this poll.

i didn't vote but charles seems less bad than lots of the others idk

the worst one is zara phillips for winning SPOTY that one time

so you missed that charming interaction where Charles answered "I don't think so" when an Asian woman from Manchester replied that she was from Manchester. Heydrich was probably less bad than Himmler because he was part-Jewish and could play the violin etc...

After being introduced to the prince, she says he asked where she was from. When she replied "Manchester", he reportedly quipped "Well, you don't look like it", before laughing and walking away.

that was it.

his shortbread is quite tasty though

that's not what his servant called it.

Charles is one of the worst tbh.

the black spider memos, homeopathy, carbumcles, poundbury... charles is a grade 'a' listed twat.

have these people done anything bad enough to warrant wishing death on them?

they are royals

they don't have any power.

tell that to Gough Whitlam and please never post in any politics thread again

I do find something kind of admirable about Princess Anne's palpable contempt for the general public, and her disinclination to make any attempt to disguise this.

I think it is Anne I met. She came to my university library and spoke to the student sitting next to me. The conversation, verbatim, was :

Anne: “ So why do you come here”
Student: “this is where the books are”
Anne: “Jolly good”

...and wandered off.

She has the common touch!

I might have voted for Lizzy? I've gone soft in my old age. Also she looks like my Nan a bit these days.
Anne was pretty fab and Meghan seems ok.

sidebar: who are the 3 sociopaths that voted for Philip tho, jfc

Accelarationists.

want to change my vote to princess margaret

Dead scroungers don't count.

bbbbbbbbbbbut the only good royal....

monarchs tend not to go away if you just ask them nicely Treesh

turns out this doesn't work on posters either

Unchill, sic.

Woman at this coffee shop (in america) has this stylish, slouchy kind of bag that has an all over print of a photo of a young elizabeth ii.
