I like Queen Liz 2, as far as heads of state go she has always seemed to me to be, well, just a good woman. And now she lost her hubby and she seemed to love him very much. So, the way I look at it is thats its sad, for her.

Spot on this. I've never lost a husband or a cousin, let alone both at the same time.

Law and order GOT - are you standing for this?!?!

Where are the water cannons and tear gas shouts?

They need to get out there and start indiscriminately cracking heads, and dragging any young women across the floor. Right?

I have met a few of the royals; always pleasant enough, friendly and good natured. Pleasant to everyone in attendance.

Most people are pleasant to those who pay their wages.

She’s harbouring a nonce

Regardless of how they get into power the reality is they have the power mate.

Same way people can moan if their manager only got that position through who they knew / being a kiss arse that means little to the fact they have that position.

It is what it is.

Only by odd deference to them as an institution.

Their hold over empire and commonwealth is diminishing, they have a diminished constitutional position (look at how they were disrespected by Johnson's Government over Brexit and prorogation of Parliament) and how frightened they are of the media.

They hold the position for convenience to those wanting to flag wave and have a tangible representation of Patriotism.

If you want to see how fragile monarchy is - look at the circumstances that led him to come to the UK.

Or who give them dog treats.

So in the past few years we've had the Black Lives Matter campaign protesting about the racial inequalities that exist in society and the #MeToo campaign highlighting sexual inequalities, yet despite these two very obvious examples of the inequalities that still riddle society, we deem it fit to go completely overboard on the death of one extremely privileged individual at a time when 127,000 people have died from Covid. It's shameful tbh.

Surely you aren't standing for these disgusting scenes?

Hundreds of stories about a 99 year old man of intense privilege dying peacefully, barely anything else.

Annoying.

Whats the deal with the Prince Andrew stuff ? Ive somehow never bothered reading up on it properly but did see that the girl hes meant to have slept with was 17 at the time thus making it legal ? but if that's the case why is he avoiding being questioned ? links to Epstein ?

There's nothing full stop. One coronavirus story on Sky News dug way down, about fifty pieces of utter crap on Philip.

If the Queen died, I'd get it. Don't get it for Philip though.

I saw an interview where he was praised that he was in a 'normal' job which paid £11 an hour....in 1947.
