Current Affairs Her majesty the Queen

Thoughts and prayers to Nicholas Witchell

Hours of that creep now

 

[Groucho]

R.I.P to all the other 96 year olds who die today after having struggled to keep body and soul together for decades in a world that will have cast them aside.

Do you mean the ones that may freeze this winter? The ones that can’t afford to feed themselves?

 

[Wat Tyler]

Is the footy going to be canceled?

Yes

 

[BlueStevie35]

Sad day for the country, absolutely not a Royalist by any means but it’s a bit surreal that she won’t be around anymore

 

[Groucho]

Mate hes literally made that up.

lol lol

Should I feel violated?

 

[Milkman]

A remarkable life's service as unelected head of state, thank you Your Majesty for whatever it was that you did

 

[brieverton]

Marks the end of an epoch. And with it the central place of the monarchy in society.

 

[Haydn]

Fun currency fact, when Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952 the monarch's likeness was not included on bank notes or coins.

That only started in 1960.

Think that only applies to notes. Henry 8th had his kipper on coins and I’m fairly sure he was pre 6ts.

 

[davek]

That’s a shame and I’m disappointed then.

I’m not a royalist obviously, and I’m a staunch Labour man and always have been as you know.

Should we abolish the monarchy at this point? I think so.

Yes.

That really should have been baked into the deal for the last few decades of the public purse funding them. The Queen should have been the last of them.

Anyone know if tonight's episode of The Chase will be rescheduled ?

 

[dublinbluenose]

Does someone have to go around changing all the post boxes now?

 

[Groucho]

Tell you what, Hue Edwards must be peeved because he can’t knock off until the funeral now. He’s been on since this morning.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Yes.

That really should have been baked into the deal for the last few decades of the public purse funding them. The Queen should have been the last of them.

Chucky will be

 

[Rob17896]

No problem with the Queen at all.
Not a royalist.
But she was a dignified old lady, who did a hard job very well.
A mother and a nan.
Hope she went peacefully for her and her family's sake.
Rip.

Exactly, never had a problem with her representing us unlike the humiliation brought by most PM's

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Does someone have to go around changing all the post boxes now?

No, I know this one. Some with George's initials are still in use.
