The British Monarchy

Given how left wing this forum generally is i reckon you could say the YES vote for the general public would be 60+%

agreed on that

It's funny that because my view of the forum is that it's more right wing :)

Genuinely insane behaviour. Add to that all the cancelled hospital appointments too. Fucking nuts this country.

Saw your tweet earlier that included funerals.

My wife is still doing a funeral on Monday. All existing funerals will be honoured, but no new ones will happen on Monday.

They wouldn't anyway, should someone die this week, it’s too close.

I do apologise for getting it wrong. I, like all others, make mistakes and have no qualms in saying sorry.

Sorry.

P.S. It still doesn’t mean I agree with your original point!

Well you couldve just said that!

And at the risk at coming across as a smart arse … roubaix has posted a link with a poll at 62%

Polls are only believed when they confirm your thoughts though.

Politicians always say this.

I’m sure some polls predicted 62% remain too ;-)

(good shout though!)

Yeah of course. I get that. Still think the general public vote would be more Yes than on here.

Opinion gained from when we have gen elections, on here polls would have a labour landslide. Just reflects the left leanings

Ps. Wasnt saying it was good or bad either way

There has been a massive misunderstanding by some parts of the country about how important the monarch dying is to everyone. I think it's fascinating that we saw it on here first, where some posters just couldn't comprehend that anyone could think about carrying on with life as normal on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Now we're seeing organisations making major missteps and getting absolutely battered for it in public.

These kind of things are only making people dislike the monarchy.

That first one makes my f*****g blood boil. "I'm sorry kids I wasn't able to get the food today because the fickle nation are coming to a standstill to mourn the death of a privileged old woman who never knew the definition of hungry."

I fucking detest them.

I fucking detest them

I'll put you down as "indifferent" in that case?

It is not the monachy fault that businesses are closing on monday , it is ludicrous to suggest it is , the businesses etc are making their own decisions

I think royalism is as strong as it ever will be at this point. The Queen has done an amazing job for an incredible amount of time.

Charles doesn’t seem like he will have the same gravitas, but only time will tell.

It will be interesting to see what the % of pro monarchism will be following Charles’ reign.
