Because you live and work in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is a Kingdom with a King and the flag is the Union Flag. If you are a citizen, you are a subject of His Majesty The King.

His majesty the king can go get a real job and stop living off of my taxes as far as I'm concerned

They're not your taxes, they're his taxes.

Also he mainly lives off of a portion of the income from his own estate, which most of which goes back into the treasury anyway

Right yeah which he's earned from the critical service of sitting on his pampered arse signing things

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
