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.

I’m fully aware America is a dingleberry that came from the shit pile of Britain
That was hundreds of years ago. All the shit over there is your own doing now, nothing to do with us.
What do you mean nothing to do? You’re fully committed and supportive of the genocide and pervious genocides criminal wars too, you might not be funding as much as America, but you’re fully complicit.
Queen Elizabeth was the devil, that racist cunt and her underlings have destroyed most of the global south for their benefit, the world hasn’t recovered from the destruction your expansionist empire caused.
Just because Trump is literally worse than Charles today doesn’t mean you’re good. You pay taxes to a monarch who follows a line of monsters who are directly responsible for most of today’s political landscape, and instead of overthrowing the monarchy when the evil witch died, you allowed an old fart to take over ruling you.
And now your monarch is treating Trump like a monarch, which sure looks like a pledge of fealty, so the only thing left to figure out is what motivated that? What does Trump have on Charles, or is Charles simply celebrating that Epstein is gone?
You’re knee deep in this shit, bud.
The USA has been self governing nation for long enough for them to solve their own problems, especially as they have a staggering amount of wealth and security.
Quite a few ex-colonies have done rather well for themselves too, so “the destruction our expansionist empire caused” can be recovered from. One can only wonder why it’s our fault some places haven’t recovered yet.
I also wonder which destructive expansionist empire you’re part of, Mr Pot.
Agreed. And the UK is complicit in its support of the genocide… How does holding the US accountable for its own actions free the United Kingdom from its own?
You fully support the US, your labor party has doubled down on fascism and genocide, and your king just treated Trump like royalty… What do you mean you have nothing to do with it?
Only an ignorant person who refuses to learn anything about the world would wonder… You divided our lands and installed foreigners as monarchs and taught them how to use propaganda to train our youth to celebrate the new puppet rulers as “independence”.
Ha! I’m Palestinian! Always under the rule of expansionist empires, never done it ourselves. And everything we’re suffering today can be tracked back to your Balfour.
Oh right, so we can add revisionist to that list.
What did I revise? Accuse me with clearly articulated words and refute the facts I presented, don’t just throw an insult.
