I have no idea. I am not mourning. The country is, on the whole. I don't actually have an affinity with the royals.No, of course - there hasn’t been any over the summer - but that’s not the point, for me anyway.
For you, and this is a genuine question, what does a day of mourning consist of? Or multiple days? What is it you actually do all day?
I’m interested, not least because I lost my Mum a few months ago, and I’m not mentioning that for any sympathy, but to ask what do you think mourning all day, all weekend does/should consist of?
I’d like to just reflect on what you say, and compare it to what I did for her?
Aren’t you doing exactly this to others?Sorry m8 I guess you were going to tell me how to grieve in an appropriate way.
I doubt very much he’s grieving in the first place.Aren’t you doing exactly this to others?
RAWK??Need some help from the old hands on here...
In the absence of the Match Thread, which thread do I go to if I feel in need some apocalyptic gibbering hysteria?
Thanks for replying, and no I’m certainly not going to make any comment on how to grieve; it’s a statement of the obvious but it’s individual I’m sure we’d both agree.I have no idea. I am not mourning. The country is, on the whole. I don't actually have an affinity with the royals.
Respecting peoples loss though, I have affinity for that, and as much as not having football is a pain its happening.

Prince Charles! a man who cheated on his wife with in weeks of the wedding, if not before, and then was a hypocrite and marched behind her coffin to gain favour with the public and forced his young sons to do so people wouldn't boo him I might agree that Liz was a nice person but Charles is stretching it as I have lots of other doubts about him as wellA republic would be better than a monarchy but I think the current Royals are quite a decent bunch. Better than a republic might be the way that Cuba operates. Despite the pressure of that nearby Republic, the USA, Cuba gets by in a very fair and equal way. Sadly, other Communist countries tend to give Communism a bad name. I'd love to see the UK run along Cuban lines. We have advantages Cuba doesn't have, and rather than the obscene rich lording it, we would have a good enough economy and nobody unemployed. What did the Queen give us? King Charles! A thoroughly decent man who I shall support in the meantime. : )
Nah she was the glue that held us all together. I’ve turned into an alcoholic drugged up quivering wreck now she’s goneI'm just so sick of all of this bullshit.
The whole thing is sinister. The idea that their bloodline is somehow more dignified, more pure and all round superior to the rest of us. The idea that they are 'born to reign over us'. It makes me sick. It is in complete opposition to the basic principles of the modern world - that we're all born equal. That we're judged by our actions, not by the privileges gained through the accident of birth.
And now, after a 96 year old woman, who has lived off the fat of the land her whole life, has died - we're supposed to thank her?
Thanks for what, exactly?
She wasn't my queen, and he's not my king. I don't give a fuck, and I'm not sorry for saying it.
A society with so many in need is being gaslighted into prioritising the death of one old woman, because they think they're better than us. It really is that simple.
