Royally Sick of It

Am I the only one who is nauseated by this royal wedding? It often feels like it. I not sure what sickens me more, the swill fed about it being so great for the country or the way the vast crowds of cooing royalist sycophants are bending down to lap it up.
Is the country in such a bad state that the only thing that can cheer us up is the marriage of two strangers?
Who are these strangers? The groom, famed for being born to long line of inbreds and despots, and the bride, a perfect nobody until she was shoved into the spotlight and under noses of anyone who could be brainwashed into giving a toss.
That's right, I am a Republican, a snarling, cynical, joyless killjoy. At least that is what what most dew-eyed Royalists would have you think.
But I am happy to celebrate Britishness or Englishness and I will be the first to wax lyrical to anyone who will listen about the numerous virtues of our little island.
Unquestioning acceptance and celebration in all of Britain's institutions however is not to love your country.
If I did not care for the Britain, I would not care for the Royal wedding either way, but as it stands I cannot stomach it.
Is this it? Is this the best of Britain in the 21st century?
Mumbling masses fawning over the vestiges of the antiquated undemocratic monarchy like dribbling serfs.
After all that so many have sacrificed to give us freedom from absolute power, can we not do better than this?
What I find most unpalatable it the constant nonsense we are fed about it being part of our tradition and identity. The monarchy holds us back, though charming its history and beguiling its pomp, it is at best a novelty at worst a barrier to a true democracy in England.
Royalty is a part of Britain's history but so is slavery and brutal repression. Accept it but move on.
Monarchy never cared for a free England, we have a greater heritage in rebels like Wat Tyler and John Lilburne, revolutionaries like the The Levellers, The Abolitionists and The Suffragettes.
Britain deserves to be more than a Kingdom.
Lets rid ourselves of this outmoded and dangerous nonsense called Royalty, let England and Britain move on. It would un-British not to do so.
