Looked like his head smacks off the floor as well. Nasty fall that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Batshit insane.
How are people subjected to this shit in 2022. Whys there even a live stream? Genuine question how legal is this love stream? Nothing during this period surprises me anymore.
I think it is more, for many at least, that it confirms an already held opinion, that he is a stroppy, massively privileged, arrogant man-child.
I'm 58 and I don't give a toss. Well I do in that I'm sick to death of the almost 24/7 rolling coverage that amounts to nothing more than "The Queen is still dead and a bit closer to London" - even here in Australia - feck knows how bad it must be in the UK.
If you really have to be ruled by toffs who inherited power you could do worse that QE2 (and we now have) but I didn't know her and I have no affection for the institution, so all these people in the street who also didn't know here saying seeing her coffin pass is the greatest day of their lives seems utterly batshit crazy.
How often do the guards change? They do also have to be perfectly still? I know it’s tradition etc… but it doesn’t seem very fun working conditions
Jeez nasty, just hope the poor guy’s ok.
They change every 20 minutes ….perhaps doesn’t sound very long but try standing perfectly still for that length of time.
Why would the live stream be illegal?
Love stream is a nicer name for it.
Possibly because there are close-ups of members of the public? I can't see it would be an issue as they've chosen to be there. If you've queued up for hours, you're probably pleased to be seen.
Yeah it is. At the southbank there is pretty much the amount of people that you’d expect to see there but instead they’re forming a queue. It was moving quite quickly though.
nothing to see here, charles must have just become bored watching dear mama so instructed one of the guards to “do something funny to please his majesty.”
Morning mourners.
Hope you are performatively sad enough today or the Bobbys might be round later for a word

Just seen a man arrested outside a Chinese restaurant for not respecting the Queen. It took a few of them to get him into the car but one of the officers knew his judo well.
Its utterly astonishing what people are willing to do.
Personally I couldnt bow to anyone. I dont stand in queues for anything if there is more than 5 people in it and I 1000% wouldn't queue for a day and a half to walk by a coffin - even if my own Mother was in it.

I just saw a man getting arrested outside a record shop saying ‘feck Queen have you heard this Alice Cooper album’.
Jeez. Everyone in here sneering at people getting up off their backsides and actually doing something for a change 
Bet you've never queued for anything in your lives!

GDPR. This stream is arguably CCTV being broadcasted nationally.
Not for 30 odd hours I haven't.Jeez. Everyone in here sneering at people getting up off their backsides and actually doing something for a change

Do you think it breaks GDPR when people walk behind a news broadcast?
Good point, but this is closer to CCTV than it is a news broadcast.
So now you know . Royal watchers
Lord Firebrand also has a questionable past which is why he's not wearing his uniform for the ceremony.
There is nothing illegal about being filmed in public. Following someone down the street would be a different matter but standing still filming an area with people passing by is perfect lawful.
Lord Firebrand second cousin fecked up a polo shot that Charles took 20 years ago, to this day......they are not on speaking terms.
Ah, thank you for the info. It was something I was curious about, as public live streams of various famous places are something I’ve watched out of boredom before when stuck in a work meeting or the like.
Looking it up, it seems there’s exemptions to the UK GDPR and DPA that apply to journalism that I’m assuming apply here, as I’d expect the BBC to have cleared this in all the years of preparation they’ve had for this event…

That's legitimately insane.
Think you might have quoted the wrong post there
A lot of us are British, queuing is a national pastime, on the curriculum at lots of schools.Jeez. Everyone in here sneering at people getting up off their backsides and actually doing something for a change
Bet you've never queued for anything in your lives!
Queue now up to four miles. I’m never going to moan at “Its a small world” in EuroDisney again.
