Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton has called for the Queen to be the last monarch, criticised the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Pageant, saying it flies in the face of the current cost of living crisis and said that he's "embarrassed" by people trying for honours.
Barton took to Twitter to share his views with his 2.8 million followers today (Sunday, June 5). He said the current Queen should be the last to reign over the UK as its '2022'.
The Rovers ross already described the Queen and the monarchy as 'an absurd concept' in the run-up to the Platinum Jubilee. The last four days have seen a huge celebration in honour of the Queen's 70 years of service to her country, culminating today in a pageant past Buckingham Palace.
