Very well said by Macron.

Can’t agree on Johnson.
He is, was and always will be a self-serving narcissistic tw*t of the highest order.
Trying to steal the limelight from people who actually have an official responsibility to comment today.
Fuc* him and his Greek Phrasebook

agree on Starmer, really well chosen words

Let's keep political point scoring to the appropriate forum, please.

Genuine question but I've heard people refer to the fact that the Elizabethan age has now ended. So what age are we in now?

domalino is currently looking for the answer on Wikipedia.

Assuming he does take the title Charles III, as BBC are now using, Carolingian?

The third Caroline/Carolean era.

They keep talking about this King fella on the telly.

I don’t mind Prince Charles or Camilla, been married twice myself, shit happens.

King Charles - it’s going to take some getting used to but, good luck to him and let’s hope he’s half as good at the job as his Mum was.

Sounds similar to Cunnilingian so I'm all for it.

Charlesian?

I'll just be pissed off when they postpone the football. Absolute nonsense.

Lots of sport already gone, Fridays EFL games, test cricket, golf, test, and normal rugby, cycling, so football will almost certainly follow suit I think, as it should, despite what we fans think.

Worth saying the reaction from the French has been equally sympathetic. Not only have we lost our queen, we have lost the worlds greatest diplomat today.

I’m not particularly a royalist but I really believe that she has done more for our country, and cared more deeply for all the people within it, than any elected politician during her reign. I doubt we’ll ever get as lucky again.

God bless her.

I agree with this.
We are an immeasurably poorer country this evening. Our greatest international asset. As you say, our greatest diplomat.
A lady who never once shirked her duty. She lead a life of great privilege, but used that life to constantly work for her country.
I‘m not, and have never been, a monarchist, but this lady made the entire world view our country more favourably than they might otherwise have done.
She lead by example.
