Current Affairs Her majesty the Queen

[woomy]

I have a question.
How in the hell did we manage to conquer and rule the world, and be a major force through the ages and win 2 world wars, plus countless other wars?
Skip forward a few years and we, well we have all this nonsense.
Maybe I am cold, but I just don't get all of this.
Closing holiday parks, no riding your bike, people and their being offended.
Funerals being out off
Press lying about an anti racism march being a procession for the queen. Etc etc etc.

We are really a bunch of spoons in this country, these days.

Well I for one am going to honour her majesty on her funeral as if she was alive and go do what I want and not give a monkeys about her or her lizard kin.

Couldn't they just kill the power to them or even just ignore them on the day?

What a giant waste of time, money and effort. People going hungry and homeless, health system creaking under pressure, energy costs going through the roof and this is our priority.

I'm off to hold up a blank piece of paper and see if I get arrested quicker than someone who actually committed a crime.

This is a quality thread.

Sainsburys closed Monday. I guess they all will.

Can you confirm if GOT will be offline Monday as a mark of respect to her Majesty?

Just hearing news from the Palace that Monday is now cancelled as a mark of respect to her maj

Starmer seems to have replaced his profile photo with a black hole "out of respect". Christ. This is all so weird.

If only there was a solution out there....

Heathrow Airport says some flights will be disrupted today to ensure silence over central London as the Queen's coffin is moved to Westminster Hall. Too much ?‍

the funeral is at an annoying time for me, too late for a run and too early for the pub.

i'm going to have to go on a bike ride as an act of defiance .
