So King Charles the third happy to choose the royal title that will undoubtedly become synonymous with having a poo.

But will he unleash a reign of terror or of glory?
 
I personally would get shut of them but don’t get me wrong, I’m not celebrating someone’s death.

But what I don’t like is this forced mourning. I shan’t be taking part.

It's going to exceed the circus that was Diana dying this (ironic really, considering the Queen herself probably thought the Diana stuff was OTT)

I've nothing against the Queen and send my condolences to her family, but this whole ten days of mourning stuff is ridiculous in my opinion

Obviously make the funeral itself a big deal and a national holiday, fine, let people have a proper chance to say goodbye to the old girl, but aside from that we need to just carry on as normal

Cancelling entertainment's like sport and wall to wall news about it all is going way too far. It's excessive

It’s a bit tone deaf imo. Will increase anti monarchy sentiment. Should just have a minute’s silence like they did for her husband

For some of us, 10 years won't even be enough!!!

Loved you Liz.
 
Driving home last night and every radio station was parping on about it. So Pulled over, found a random thrash metal mix on Spotify and hooked the phone up via Bluetooth.

Bit of Carcass, Sepultura, Metallica, Obituray, Soulfly etc. Far more relaxing journey.
Disgraceful this. She's not even cold!!!
 
I had some fun in here last night, mainly at the fake gestures on social media etc, but wanted to articulate my thoughts.

I’m as far away from a royalist as ya can get really, and understand the points about forced periods of mourning etc, so I’ll probably get a bit of flak for this.

But I think this is how I will remember the queen.

This photo is the epitome of leadership. At a time when the PM and his cabinet was having parties breaking the rules they had set. The Health minister had been horsing his secretary behind his wife’s back. The PMs right hand man had sat and lied to the country about driving 40 miles to test his eyes. (All these things actually happened from the ‘people in charge’).

However the queen followed the rules, put in place for the safety of others, to the letter, and to her own detriment. Publicly. It set an incredible example.

Genuine leadership at a time when our actual ‘leaders’ showed none.
