Queen Elizabeth II

[Bluemoon dan]

I suspect we are in a when and how it's going to be announced stage of discussion now.

It is fine to have a reasoned debate about the pros and cons of the monarchy but now is not the time for that. Sometimes, you just have to relate to the situation of a fellow human being.

 

[pride in battle]

Very little shame in the royal family, but yeah fair enough. Probs not the time for it. Sorry. Just can't stand the monarchy, but I'll bow out.

Yes fuck off

Tbf we’re not as weird as scousers

They are football royalists.

Incredible servant to our country. Deserves every ounce of our respect.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

She’s also one of our own.

Ultimately there's very little to be sad about a 97 year old dying.

She has lived a life most people could only dream of, seen her children grow old, seen her grandchildren have children. We all have to go someday and 99.9% of people go earlier and in a worse way.

Yes, I'm sure her close family will mourn her greatly, just like everyone does at the death of a mother or grandmother, but I'm going to find it very hard to empathise with the hordes of wailing strangers lining the Mall for weeks.

She’s 96 years old actually.

Yes.
The earlier statement smacks of the doctors knowing it's the end, and it was preparation for the final one.

Correct. Maybe a few should bow out of this thread

 

[SWP's back]

Whatever anyone’s thoughts on the royals. Can we keep this thread respectful, she’s a very old lady who gave her entire life to service. Let’s leave sniping to other threads.

Hoping she pulls through.
