Current Affairs Her majesty the Queen

[Tree13]

So, if people are annoyed by the mourning which is being forced fed down our throats, they should look the other way? However, you are annoyed by the reactions in here so you’ve moaned about them, rather than take your own advice? Boss that.

Look the other way? Or just change the channel, watch something else?

And I said I was perplexed. Not annoyed, perplexed. Hence my questions.

What's everyone doing with their Statey Funes hollibob then?

You said perplexed then wrote 4 paragraphs, mate. You sounded annoyed.

I'd be a little irritated if my oncology appointment had be bumped back a month.

Missed this reply initially, sorry.

Yes, that's definitely a different category entirely. I don't quite follow why parts of the NHS are having a day off and others aren't. I would have presumed that the NHS, like the Police and the Fire Brigade, would be working as normal.

Happy to clarify for you pal. Nice short sentence this time - although how you reach "annoyance" from someone supplying context is beyond me.

Comparing King Charles to Tywin Lannister is very unfair to Tywin Lannister.

Is Andrew going to crossbow Charles on the bog!!!!

That is clear, now. Enjoy the funeral, mate.

We will start the morning opening presents around the Griefmas Headstone.

Watch the Funeral in our black Griefmas outfits.

Play charades then watch Watership Down and The Champ.

I figured I'd use the time to do a tour of the country pissing on monuments.

I am listening, hence my reference to the oft-mentioned complaint of being forced to mourn - by pointing out that no-one is being forced to mourn. By comparison, there was a lot of women's football on the telly recently, but I didn't feel forced to like it or play.

Interesting reply though pal, thank you.

That's not quite the same thing though is it? The women's football is not on every single channel at the same time nor is every shop or form of entertainment being closed because of it.

I don't think there was much wrong with what you said by the way, I more had an issue with being "perplexed" by it. I mean it's a pretty straight forward thing really isn't it?

 

[Haydn]

Come on mate, you're surely better than this.

The news is obviously not the sole preserve of monarchists. Equally, the TV news is hardly an objective source of information, nor does it ever cover a wide range of topics. Does anyone really pay much attention to mainstream broadcast TV news these days, when so many alternatives of superior quality, depth and range are readily available? Do you really think the BBC would be doing great work covering the cost of living crisis if the Queen hadn't died? I doubt it, because they weren't doing anything much on it two weeks ago.

Your concerns regarding other topics that should be covered by the news are very valid indeed, but the news wasn't covering those topics before either, so why on earth blame the Queen / the monarchy? Makes no sense.

Mate, we obviously view the proceedings from different perspectives.

I believe that both the proceedings and balance of coverage are massively and disproportionately skewed, particularly given the magnitude of other challenges facing the people of this country.

The Royal Family are enormously rich and privileged, they will want for nothing this winter. My priority and interest are with those that will face real distress. There will be no prince, duke or king knocking on anybody’s door to help.

I could probably write an essay, if I fully explained, why I find what is going on distasteful, manipulative and opportunistic.

I doubt we’d be any closer to agreeing if I did. As I said, different perspectives and points of view. I respect your right to uphold yours.

 

[coollino]

So are we allowed to talk about the cost now or when the mourning is over?

 

[Martin Alvito]

Is Harry going to crossbow Charles on the bog!!!!

FTFY.

 

[Goat]

After we wasted billions on test and trace and filling the pockets of the people of Ukraine does cost even matter any more?
