People moaning about the Royal Baby

aileth

I thought Kate worked for Jigsaw or a similar business before marrying William? And William works full time with the RAF?

Them not working a day in their lives is incorrect, but I have to say I feel the strong urge to gag with the news coverage. Breaking news, pregnant woman actually gives birth, oh my!

People moaning about the royal baby is as boring as all the reports about it now IMHO.

I'm glad the baby is safe and well, feel a bit sorry for him actually being thrust into a world of chaos, but you can't choose who you are born to!

I find it more annoying the race there always seems to be on FB/Twitter etc to 'break the news' first.

After reading the same crap over and over again, I just tune out.

Absolutely! I'm glad it was born safely, but round the clock coverage? The headline on the news yesterday was literally "No news on royal baby." Stop reporting on it then.

The best bit was all the people/news crews camped outside the hospital anxiously waiting, and when the fella came out with the document he just jumped straight in the car - ha ha ha ha ha!

The Royal Family costs the tax payer about £33 million a year (62p a person?), and generates £500milion from tourism, which leads to an extra £176million for the UK treasury, so that's not really true, is it?

It really gets my goat when people say "It's me who's paying for them", when they don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Hey don't let the facts get in the way of a good opportunity for an anti-royal rant ;)

Yep.

The endless speculation about boy or girl, now we have daytime TV explaining what the stars have in store for the new Cancerian boy.

Let's discuss (ad nauseum) what they'll call him?
Apparently Ladbrokes are offering 500/1 on Rylan, !!!!!!. :rotfl:

And on and on.

I saw it all on twitter yesterday, even someone moaning that everyone is going on about this baby but not the ones starving in the world. How is that Kate and Williams fault exactly?

To one person saying the royals 'never work a day in their lives' l said that the poor Queen nearing her 90's still has to go out to work and can never retire, but got the reply that quaffing champagne all day is hardly work. So there we have it, the royal family are all raging alcoholics! :rotfl:

Some people just moan for the sake of it IMO, what's at the heart of this is money.

At least we all have choices in our life, that poor baby has got it's life mapped out and it's to serve us, if he doesn't want it he'll be a pariah like Edward VIII.

It has all passed me by as I don't watch TV. My lodger told me the baby had been born when he came in last night at 9pm.

And the board with the writing on they put in the grounds of buckingham palace, in the world's smallest font so everyone had to squint through the bars, hahaha!

I will continue to moan - I will never agree with the existence and perpetuation of the royal family and the whole idea of someone being revered because of who their ancestor bonked hundreds of years ago.

Sick to death of the hysteria over it and the internet thought police (although I guess they had to do something now they can't tell those who don't like the heat off for daring to go against the "woo hoo sunshine" mania) going off on one everytime someone dares NOT get into a pile of mush over a very overpriviledged baby whose backside they're going to have to kiss for the rest of their lives, born to utter strangers.

Also feel bad for any normal people having a baby yesterday whose arrivals have been utterly overshadowed by the hysteria over Her Royal Uterus.
