Jedward have called for the monarchy to be abolished just days after Charles became king as a result of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
The former X Factor duo, 30, took to Twitter on Saturday to voice their opinion and asked the new king to ‘give the people real democracy’.
It comes just days after the Irish twins – whose real names are John and Edward Grimes – were criticised for sharing ‘insensitive’ comments about the Queen‘s health before she passed away.
Despite the recent backlash, Jedward set out to create more outrage as they penned: ‘Abolish the monarchy and give the people real democracy!’
We have a democracy. We elect a government and that governs. The monarch has not governed since the Glorious Revolution when we finally established the concept of a constitutional monarchy.
Oh, but it gets better.
They followed up with a second tweet which read: ‘King Charles should hand back the six Irish counties on his visit to Northern Ireland – No war! Just words! It’s time,’
These two twats are Irish and have no concept of Irish history. Handing back the six counties would trigger a war. What we have is an uneasy peace precisely because those six counties remain a part of the UK. The majority of the population don’t want to go into the republic and, frankly, given the sectarian divisions that lie just beneath the surface, Dublin would rather not have them back either. But, no, let’s do what a pair of vacuous, brain dead pop stars say we should do instead.
The brothers were inundated with responses from the public who were unimpressed with their stance.
One follower wrote: ‘Any chance you two could just be quiet? It is not Ireland’s place to call for the abolishment of the monarchy of another country. What about Andorra, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden?’
Other outraged Twitter users added: ‘British affairs are nothing to do with the Republic of Ireland or Planet Jedward so do one’; ‘What has this got to do with Ireland and YOU?’;
‘The monarch doesn’t ‘rule’ in that sense of the word. We are a democracy!’; ‘Guys your embarrassing yourselves now enough enough!’; ‘Whoever is babysitting these two clowns needs to be reprimanded.’
Well, quite. A pair of twats desperately seeking relevance and mediocrity.
Those “six irish counties” would come with a rather large annual bill.
Besides, they wouldn’t be given to ireland but to toytown Austria-Hungary of which ireland (there ain’t a violin small enough) is an increasingly economically exploited part.
People can easily end up doing or saying weird things. Usually stupidity, groupthink, drink or drugs weaken their grasp on reality. But the strongest enabler is often the desire to regain former celebrity. It would explain so many other public hissy fits.
Quite right. “They only do it to annoy and because they know it teases!”
Calling those two pop stars, is akin to calling Stalin a benevolent leader. I know that people in that industry tend to be intellectually challenged, especially when it comes to politics, but these two are taking the piss.
“British affairs are nothing to do with the Republic of Ireland”
Precisely this. Eire decided it wanted shot of the Crown in favour of a no-mark President, so the opinions of its citizens are of no consequence to this country.
And Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom which held a popular vote on joining it. Calling for democracy and “handing back” the province in the same breath: I always knew those two were thick, but they really aren’t doing much for the Irish stereotype here.
Talentless, stupid, ignorant, twats.
Publicity seeking narcissists.
Not central to the point of the post but I do wish that people would just stop making up words eg “abolishment”.
