Yeah acting as if she was a virtuous person is probably more offensive to more people than saying something like good riddance.
I want a British republic, but you have to admit her personal popularity meant that most felt unable to criticise her. Anyway, it is likely the other realms where Charles is Head of State will move to republics over the coming years.
Governments had the power during Empire and colonisation - governments today have immense power, and create suffering in a lot of countries around the world today. Do we get rid of the government? Not really seeing the difference aside from the royal family has no power and the government still does.
Agreed, calling the ruler of a monarchy responsible for so much wrong one of the greatest people ever is very vile and crass.
Agreed.
A momentous moment is something that changes your life or that of the country. I don't think this applies in the passing of the monarch who will be succeeded by another.
Elizabeth has been better than all of the clowns that you twats have have managed to elect via democracy in half a century.
Quite telling of the state of democracy, like handing monkeys live grenades.

Who will bite ?
It clearly is a momentous moment for the UK
He's not a loon. He's just Irish.
Why do people act like their elected representatives in Parliament had no significant hand in the acquiring and plunder and maintenance of Empire, and it all falls on the monarchy? (Not you just a general point)
Forget my twitter timeline, this thread is way better.
Even with the white text.
Aint that the truth.
Imagine choosing George W. as your representatitve.
RIP, always thought she'd outlast Charles.
Calm down, lad. You're massively over reacting. People joke about death all the time and there isn't uproar about it, it's actually considered a coping mechanism sometimes. The only thing that separates this from any other time is that you like her, that's all.
Um what.
Imagine being outraged that people on a football forum are taking the piss about the hysteria around the death of the Queen.
New Funniest Poster? Someone better get to @rimaldo's house and hide his supply of cheese crackers and bleach.
But what will change? Someone else will do the speeches but nothing will change really. When our queen abdicated the throne and our current king became the king, the only thing that really changed is that queensday became kingsday and is on a different day now.
The government is elected by people and constantly changes. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. The monarchy is dumb as you are just born into it, as if this random group of pedos and racists are supposedly more important people than anyone else. The whole concept of it is archaic as if there is a hierarchy among people - which there isn't. They provide nothing but get to live their life with riches because they get given taxes from people who don't want to. It's nonsense and crazy that it exists in 1st world countries in the 21st century.
Not going to pretend I care about the royal family, because I don't, but seeing Lizz Truss make a speech about the Queen after being so outspokenly against her was odd. I half expected her to just come out with "ding dong the witch is dead".
The only thing I'm coping with is the loss of a PL weekend.
Sad an old lady has died and a shame she didn't get the record, but I wonder how much has been swept under the carpet during her reign? Andrew, Diana, what else? She did well for the UK but I think it's time to end the lot now she's gone.
She's passed away a day too soon, her funeral will be on Sunday (10th day) so we don't get a day off work, bollocks.
RIP though

He got a ban.
Sadly, as far as I know, I’m not related to King George III.
Meghan did this.
What’s the difference?
Was it odd? Or was it exactly what you’d expect?
That's pretty pathetic tbh, but I guess some people are unable to get a handle of their emotions.
Pfft I meant the invading population you.
For the world?
i’ve been receiving messages from european colleagues expressing their sympathy for her death and asking if i’m ok.
what’s the easiest way of getting a new job?

There's some very straight normal folk over here, you know? The weirdos
I suppose I mean the situation, rather than the speech. That such an anti-monarchy person would become PM just days before the Queen dies.
