Everytime I put on the livestream and see someone bow it pains me.

I can’t believe how many women I’ve seen curtsy!
Thankfully Truss plans to borrow loads of money (and basically had it straight over to the energy companies who she won't tax) to help people like our poor beloved monarchy.
It angers me that we still bow (not to mention not being allowed to speak first) to someone based purely on who they are related to. Utterly ****ing disgusting. Yet so many people ****ing worship them.
i prefer them when they’re a bit squelchier. as my old man used to say when he was teaching me, “the more squelchier the more betterer.”
May she RIP but I'm very happy to see how many English people are against monarchy and the immorality of it.
Where were you guys and girls during the UK suicide manifesto of brexit? No offence but feck the anti monarchy fight and instead focus your energy in getting back to Europe.

Last push for a knighthood
Apparently he started queuing at 2am and has been in the queue for over 12 hours. Also brought people near him donuts.
Whereas people like Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have been going to the VIP queue.
Really digging the Sherlock Holmes look
Very valid point.
Yeah just seen that, disgusting pair
He looks like a real Englishman there.
I get being there an all, but that clip alone, shows all the fake bs that the English monarchy and "traditions" have become, He is a fecking footballer acting like a war seasoned general.
Still love the guy!
For all the BS of the last few days that's actually proper class from Beckham
Thought it was a fecking lookalike at first
Really on the nose that the line itself is a class system
Good thing he was exempt from paying any taxes over everything he inherited. Can use that money for paying those heating bills
Well that's Becks for you.
He has this really funny way of dressing for the occasion. So he's kind of always in fancy dress.
Office Becks
Country Becks
Retired General Becks
Gig Becks
Etc etc
Annoyingly he wears it all really well. As odd as it is.
Famously, no one voted against Brexit or the Tory party in the last 6 years.
I already despise Philip Schofield and now the cnut has been caught skipping the 10 hour queue.
Beckham showed a lot of class by taking his turn and waiting. Well done to him.
I'm so glad people are coming around to fact that this guy is a fecking bellend (not you, I've just seen a few more people start to call him out on stuff recently).
It will do his brand no harm at all
The whole stuff surrounding him coming out was very weird and wrong.
To be fair before Beckham was a mega brand I remember going to one of those pre-season open training sessions at the cliff. Afterwards they put up the barriers and fans could wait for autographs most players signed a handful and left but Beckham, Cantona and I think it was Michael Clegg stayed until they signed for everyone so I think there has always some earnestness in him wanting not to upset people.
English people!
This winds me right up. Irresponsible people putting the NHS under extra stress for unnecessary reasons. They should not be let anywhere near the queues if they have health concerns. The waiting time now is 24 hours. Why join if your health is at risk?
It’s funny from the outside looking in
In Ireland just on radio and social media etc… I mean we get it. But I don’t think any of us thought it would be as odd as it’s been
I wonder will a few English folk look back in a few months and think, was it all a tad too much?
Fair play to Becks for that. Regardless of whether you see it as cynical or not, he’s still gotta stand there for 13 hours which is no easy task for anyone plus he’s probably had to engage in small talk with everyone around him for the entirety of that time.
If I know English people, and sadly I do, they will spend the next few decades talking about how moving the big queue was, how it represented the best of Britain - and the Anglo centric media will act assume the rest of us want to watch all the retrospective documentaries.
He’s just a well dressed guy. That’s what you do.
It’s British by the way.
Population is about 67m. I think 400k have gone to see The Queen lying in state.
Talk about generalising an entire population.
Even if people do want to go, so what? People here are complaining about it but watching on live stream ffs
Charlie and siblings about to stand guard
I see the thread overtaken again by people who begrudge other people paying respects to someone they have looked up to all their life. Even enjoying Christmas Dinner with her on the box.
Let them enjoy it I say. Rule Britannia.

I know the queue is long but taking their Xmas dinner with them sounds a bit extreme.
