Maybe you should tell that to the other scout in here.
Saw this asked on reddit and am genuinely curious: Do QPR change their name now?
Queen has passed away. RIP you will live on forever. Can't believe this. Really can't believe this. @
Not really, no.
It did start on the General, bear in mind that some posters use humour for valid reasons and some peoples have genuine issues with the Family, some for generations.
Everyone who's ever read this forum before?
Yep. It's edgy and cool to say stuff that goes against the narrative though.
Which one?
Irish forum. You’ll see us step up when Michael D Higgins pops his clogs.
I'm just trying to make a helpful point, it doesn't bear directing to anyone, let's all keep our cool eh?
Never mind him, I was in bits when his lovely pupper died
The Queen died, but you're playing the victim. Disgraceful, etc.
I'm not saying that the monarchy were not involved, they certainly were. But so were elected members of Parliament, and wide swathes of society, from people who invested in bonds and stocks of companies engaged in plunder, to people who served in the Civil and Armed services...
I feel the conversation (rightly) linking the monarchy to Empire misses that context.
The BBC has gone full N Korea. BBC1 and 2 are wall to wall Nicholas Witchell (who is speaking in a tone like his own mother just died) and BBC4 is off air. I realise that it is a newsworthy event in a symbolic sense but do we really need this level of blanket coverage…
Rest In Peace Queen Lizzy.
A lovely lady and an excellent Queen. She will be fondly missed by many.
I'm anti monarch myself and don't hold the Royal family in great esteem, or believe in it.
But Lizzy in my opinion was one of the good ones and deserves our respects.

Damn some disconnect in here and with the general public, going off of yougov she had a pretty good approval rating while most posts here seem negative.
Best queen in your lifetime would you say?
You can definitely call them loons
People vote in the tories doesn't mean it's not fair game to have celebrated when Thatcher died.
RIP
It is probably in the BBC Charter and Agreement signed by Queen Elizabeth II. I'm not going to read it for you though!
This forum is comprised of lots of people from places that the British plundered around the world, lots of people from northern England, as well as a lot of Irish people and a lot of trolls. It's gone more or less as expected tbh
I do find a lot (if not all) of the memes and GIFs doing the rounds funny! It’s the ones wishing her a painful death and such that bothers me. Have some respect, for feck’s sake.
RIP to one of the greatest lobbyists of all time.
Thatcher was still a political figure and quite the divisive one, I doubt her approvals were ever above the mid 50s as most laborers seemed to have a vitriolic hate towards her while Elizabeth has routinely enjoyed an approval hovering around the 80s with few ever holding her in outright contempt.
Well it's a historic day.
I hope all Liz Truss is remembered for is killing the Queen.
It'll never happen but now his protector has gone can we get Andrew dobbed in for being a nonce?

Think she was liked outside Great Britain as well. Wonder if the British monarchy can recover from this loss? I mean are the other members of the family even liked?
Ya I think that was about the British parliament.
Her popularity also declines heavily for millenials and younger. No one should be surprised to see that the caf is largely made of millienials that also happens to be on the opposite side of the monarchy.
There have been other queens. In fact, that club is named after an area called Queen's Park, which would have been a nod to Queen Victoria.
'Kin 'ell!
Fair enough, but then it's probably misguided, no matter what is said to the contrary the royals have had minimal if not outright nonexistent political influence for some time now.
It'll still be the Queen's Park so I presume any Park Rangers keep their titles.
I realize that it's for a different thread but the royals having minimal political influence is largely by choice, them being apolitical isn't necessarily a good thing and many people will consider that against them.
Thought @Scarlett Dracarys was your queen?
The royal navy hunted down slavers at great cost to the treasury. All this while many other countries kept on with it, or at the VERY least some forms of serfdom well into the 20th century. Not (of course) justifying many of the other historical crimes but it's something that people should know.
