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.

Charles fucked kids with his brother Andrew, and was friends with Epstein.
Britain is a pathetic redneck country of EU. Remember they sent their worst people over to the America’s. Absolute garbage ass country and extremely racist.
still, the people in power clearly are. and so I won’t be travelling to the UK either.
In my books kowtowing counts.
Britain is sucking the root big time.
From opening up china by force to sucking orange dick. What a fall.
wow… what a weak “kingdom”
rent out its monarch like a sex worker,
I don’t know if they’ve been paying attention, but their monarch is too old for our President Pedophile. They’d have to offer up Princess Charlotte to interest him.
They should ask Prince Andrew. He knows.
This is for King Chuck
Made up ceremony
Wait till the Brits find out its all made up and the nobility doesn’t matter.
Tbf, the whole thing WOULD be much funnier (and less embarrassing) with Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles playing the parts of the two doddering billionaire idiots and Aisha Tyler moderating 🤷
The problem is if they decide that William the conqueror didn’t actually have allodial rights to the land, then all property rights in the UK are made up too and that’s a bridge too far.
We all know it’s the rightful territory of the Senatus Populusque Romanus. It’s just a matter of time.
Italian Unification but it’s everything from Hadrian’s Wall to Istanbul.
Why stop there? Ctesiphon or bust.
The royal family and child rapists name a more iconic duo
Trump will feel very much at home with the Royal Family, particularly with Prince Nonce to swap fireside stories.
Is it a duo when they’re the same thing?
More like a team.
Labour “Vote for us cause we’re not the Conservatives.” Proceeds to do everything like a conservative
Starmer is a conservative/neoliberal from 10 years ago. There is no “left” party in mainstream UK politics anymore. There is only a fascist party, and a conservative party.
Same with Australia, Canada, and most of 14 eyes. Weird… Almost like we said this Overton shift towards fascism was occurring the entire god damn time.
Won’t lie. That second paragraph has me more hot for british folk than ever before.
Weird take. Britain is simply taking advantage of Trump’s ego.
No shit. Been saying for years that he’s as easily manipulated as a toddler, and I mean that literally, not even as an insult. Best part? He’s too dumb to ever know when he’s getting played.
Giving legitimacy to a fascist just empowers them domestically and internationally. It’s not a shell game where you’re giving nothing. Legitimacy is directly how governments operate, it’s the real currency of the world. Legitimacy is frankly the bedrock of currency itself.
Even if he is “getting played”, does he care? He gets what he wants without having to act against his personal interests. If anyone buttering him up wants him to do something bad, Trump himself wouldn’t suffer for it.
Yeah, they may be playing his ego, but they’re also not helping by inflating it further.
I don’t know – is this really a “UK bending” thing?
I think this is just how NATO officials have realized how to play the game with him – fluff up his ego a bit and then get to the business talks – you play the game of politics with the hand you’re given.
I guess it might be the greatest public showing so far by a NATO Country(?)
Honestly, as acts of appeasement go, a fancy dress party seems about the least humiliating thing a country can agree to. Play king for a day, like Make-A-Wish for senile fascists. If that settles the tariff negotiations, then well done.
What about the other capitulations to fascism, and equating anti-genocide with terrorism?
I guess it might be the greatest public showing so far by a NATO Country(?)
By far, although to be fair, most of the rest of us don’t have a royal family.
You can have ours mate.
We technically already have him, but not really.
To be fair, by being rented out, the monarch finally gets to earn his keep.
They’re some of the world’s biggest landlords. This is just aristocrats rubbing elbows.
Disgusting…
Melania really trying to be Carmen Sandiego huh
Melania knows these pics are going in the history books and has been doing her best to cover her face whenever possible.
Fuck melania. first woman of the american reich.
If ghosts were real, Guy Fawkes would’ve come back to haunt these guys by now.
I for one am hoping for the ghost of John Brown.
