The United Kingdom shamelessly prostrated itself at the feet of Donald Trump on Wednesday, throwing a lavish welcoming party for his state visit to Windsor that resembled less diplomacy and more fealty.
In doing so, the U.K. has revealed something deeply unflattering about itself—in the scramble to keep America close, it will debase itself and its values completely.
It will silence dissent, empty out its traditions, and rent out its monarch like a sex worker, deployed to flatter the ego of a man who has spent much of his political life suggesting he should be treated like one, a monarch, not a sex worker, that is.
As stage props go, the monarchy is unbeatable. But if this is what the “special relationship” between the U.S and the U.K. now means, it looks to many in Britain less like a partnership and more like groveling, feudal servitude.

Considering their monarch went to the US for people who were rented out as sex worker, it seems only fair for him to return the favor
FTFY: The United Kingdom government shamelessly prostrated itself
The people in the streets played quite a different tune…
There’s nothing the British monarchy loves to do more than to indulge and please a child molester
Aren’t the royal sex workers? Isn’t their job to have sex and produce heirs so the cycle can continue? Country pimps them out to show up to events and smile, and then to go back home and continue the line.
Honestly I have more respect for sex workers than monarchs. Sex workers actually work hard and provide a valuable service, monarchs simply exist. The comparison falls flat for me
Unironically that’s their jobs.
England has nothing else to do. England is the ruins of an once great empire. It can’t go back to its own glorious past, and it has therefore no way forward. If england does not adhere to the USA, it is nobody, it has nothing, and it can do nothing. At least that’s what they’re thinking.
Especially after Brexit.
Damnit. Now he’s going to demand this shit happens back in the US.
To be fair all kings initially became kings exactly the way Trump is trying to do. No matter how they try to paint it as a God-given right or create elaborate origin myths, it all started with violence, marrying into power, betrayal, political scheming and a lot of inbreeding.
It’s kind of appropriate that a kingdom recognizes this (although that was probably not what they were trying to do).
Who knew I could respect the royal family even less than I already did?
I hope they knighted him, or something. I can’t wait for him to request being called Sir Donald by everybody.
America’s poodle, not just for joining invasions of Middle Eastern countries.
Also on display in Starmer’s policy of arresting old ladies as terrorists when they demonstrated against the Genocide being done by America’s pupetter.
Stop appeasing fascists. It only emboldens them.
appeasement is kinda their thing
The brits want to be colonialized for a change?

colonized, analyzed, rectified.
Ya buncha cunts
