Podcaster Blindboy Boatclub says he finds it hard to take the British monarchy seriously when they insist on doing such 'silly' things and calling it ritual.

In the United Kingdom right now, preparations are underway for the coronation of King Charles III which is to take place in May.that, while he doesn't support it, he finds the trappings of monarchy and empire 'fascinating'."I find the pomposity and the ritual of English monarchy utterly fascinating because what it boils down to is it's like, 'how can we do the silliest stuff possible while being as serious as possible?'.

"If you look at how the coronation of Irish kings was described at the time ... he said that Irish kings used to chop up a horse, then a load of men would climb into a giant bath of hot water with horse pieces in it and they would swim around in horse soup and then eat the soup.""This ridiculous system of legitimacy also justifies the terrorism of colonialism", he said.

On his podcast, Blindboy often compares colonialism to terrorism"because that's what it is, it's one powerful country going to another country and deciding 'you don't have any value as a human being so we're going to kill everyone and take your resources for our country'".British Museum Blindboy says he loves visiting the UK, particularly London's nicer areas, as"the whole city is a museum".

But as a lover of art and history, he still finds it hard to reconcile the fact that many of now Britain's worldly goods were taken from other countries and caused"extreme suffering".Listen back to the full conversation here.Share this article

Comments have this one covered it seems💪

I'm sorry, is mocking other people's cultures okay now?

What a clown he is

Listened to this clown say that the other day and he parades himself around with a SuperValu bag on his head. Such “pomposity”

Says the lad with a bag on his head.

fkn sperg

'how can we do the silliest stuff possible while being as serious as possible?'.'.. says the Lad with a plastic bag on his head 🤣🤣🤣

Newstalk has gone to shite

Knob

Can't believe I used to follow this guy religiously 🥴

Jaysus he’s back 🙄 Bit like himself so eh ? Hard to take a chap with a plastic bag on his head seriously because it’s a ritual.

It’s called tradition! Not a royal fan either but im sure he would be less likely to call out other cultural traditions in case he upset the Wokeratti Royals an easy target, not really courageous Cheap dig for PR in fact

No different to Irelands royalty. The good oul Catholic Church and their bizare rituals. Kneel duwn, stand up, sit down, kneel again... We're in no position to judge other countries.

Putting a plastic bag over your head is a bit silly too

He was right. Take one word out of context from a complex conversation, and make it a headline on social media to anger rugby dads to start arguments in the comments to boost engagement.

Silly... like a bag on the head Blind boy is a lefty establishment snowflake unable to debate or take mild criticism.

Little gimp pretending to be a skanger.

Person that doesn't like the criticism of other cultures criticises others' culture.

It's important to them and does you no harm. Maybe let them at it.

Christ hard work listening to that bellend

A clown hiding in a plastic bag pontificating about rituals... A coward behind a mask... Zero balls... Zero full stop...

He was truly enlightening last week on Newstalk. What a clown

Who?

Jesus wept! This is news.....

I’m not a fan of royalty but I’d say they couldn’t give a damn what this guy with a bag over his head thinks 😂

But like his mask wearing. An embarrassment.

Where to begin?

Was he ever told not to put a plastic bag over his head? How do his likes get news time?

The opinions of a man in his 40's with a plastic shopping bag on his head are not really newsworthy!

Who cares what this clown says?

David Chambers says this while wearing a bag on his head. Own your nonsense you gowl.

Says the guy with a shopping bag over his head.

Did he ever look in a mirror Mr plastic bag mask

Says some weirdo who goes around with a stupid mask over his face.
