You've had the decency to wait until she's buried before giving us your opinion. If you'd have posted this in any of the last ten days you probably would have got alot of abuse.Don't think I've ever felt less British than these last 10 days - not since brexit (although back then I felt more disgusted, whereas this time it's feelings of frustration and fascination).
Seeing the majority of the country genuinely mourn a person they've never met and who didn't know them, with some happy to queue for 14 hours just to pay their respects.
The insistence that she led a hard life when in fact she's had it easier than 99.9% of anyone who ever lived.
The attacking of anyone who doesn't show the same deference or 'respect'.
All of this with the need to pat ourselves on the back for 'doing pomp and ceremony better than anyone in the world' , at a time of financial crisis, as if it's something envied by every other country.
I genuinely can't understand the mentality behind it all. She was no better or worse than any of us, so why are so many happy to elevate her and her family above them? Is the idea of being a peasant so drilled into our national identity? It blows my tiny little mind
Wooten couldn't even give it until tomorrow - maximum respect

Now this was the crowning moment of her reign. Perhaps because it was the most political.
But let's not rewrite history to give her credit that belongs to real politicians (Blair, Mowlam in particular, but Major, and others across the Irish Sea - even Paisley Snr.)

Let the shit show begin.So, the old lady is safely laid to rest. Can we get back to normal now?
We still do.In this thread yeah, as the mods wanted it free of arguments and shite
I’ll credit Paisley for taking the step in the end but I would regard him as every bit a pariah that McGuinness was to a deeply unionist community.Now this was the crowning moment of her reign. Perhaps because it was the most political.

But yeah, how did Rwanda get admitted despite the human rights concerns?
Let’s have a pure and simple cremation,job doneIf Charles lasts seven years does that mean his funeral can cost a tenth of yesterday's?

Incredibly ill thought out, was obvious she'd provoke mob justice, even more illogical to it front of her own business.
Disagree with the original point though, not sure what this woman's personal issue with the Queen is, so don't understand it or believe that behaviour to be justified. But I'll definitely be celebrating when either of the arseholes next door to us die.
Sometimes nasty people deserve a nasty response.

Classless and insensitive to boot.Thick as fuck
Don't go too far bossClassless and insensitive to boot.
You don't have to like someone, but to openly and demonstratively celebrate their death is just not on.
This is why, although he has openly and demonstratively been an absolute **** to our club and supporters while he has been at the scum, I hope we'll show a modicum of class and not celebrate the pisscan's death when his time comes.
