Queen Elizabeth II

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I live in England yet haven't watched any of it, it takes a particularly stupid person to tune in from say South Africa and get miffed by it ;)

So why comment?

So why comment?

Why comment on an opinion from a South African who went out of their way to see something 1000's of miles away? He is that stupid he thought it was brainwashing him even though he made it his purpose to watch it.

Royalism is pretty weird as a concept though, no?

They've had issues of inequality way below royal level for a while.

There are royals in South Africa, are they any different?

Dunno, I struggle to understand our lot.

I thought they were part of the commonwealth though?

Watching the news last night.Even Mike Tindall has a chest full of medals,it really is quite pathetic how the royals bestow honours upon each other.Fucking Edward looks like he’s fought in every conflict since the napoleonic wars with all the shit on his chest including his it’s a knockout winner’s medal

My cousin who has never been in the Armed Forces wears his dads medals (who died in Iraq) at the Cenotaph every year.

is that really quite pathetic?

So how many totally for the time people have been allowed to bow to a possible empty box or a very well mumified queen?

I am guessing less than 1% of the population, once you factor in tourists too, maybe the beeb could stop acting like we have all stopped our lives for a week.


And this isn't an anti queen post, god bless her, but some of the live coverage is borderline banana republic propoganda levels

Hope he got pummelled when they got him behind that wall.

i'm sure he would have pal!

 

[Ja Salford Blue]

This is getting beyond a joke now operations cancelled schools shut other funerals being cancelled etc etc in fact it’s scandalous hurry up and bury the fucker so we can get back to normal life

Show some respect!

I thought hooligans like you liked the Queen?

 

[Bill Walker]

I am non a Royalist but always respected her for what she did , in my life time the only slight error she made was with Diana's death and she learnt quickly from that, always the sign of a smart and intelligent person.

I thought the Aberfan disaster was also a serious misjudgment.

On the whole though, even though I'm a Republican she was excellent in the role.

He is South African who is telling him to mourn? Nice little speech but irrelevant really, is his own country televising the proceedings?

We have got Irish people on this site annoyed that the BBC is showing the whole affair, all they have to do is not tune in.

What "news" was there yesterday that made Match of the Day 20 minutes late? News now would be an interview with someone not in The Queue.
