Liz Truss spouting shite.
It's one of those "she's always been there" for many many people of all generations. King Charles doing the xmas day speech going to be very strange watch.
Guess it's a little different given he's brought you guys so much joy but similar whenever SAF passes given he's been there for generations of your fanbase. And a ceremonial figurehead.
King Charles and PM Truss though. Winter certainly going to be fun under nine duvets.
Liz ‘abolish the monarchy’ Truss tells how the queen is an inspiration to her
Liz Truss giving an obituary to the Queen on RTE News. I've seen it all
Hopefully this will bring about a change in the Monarchy, all the pomp and ceremony.
So because people on here don't share your middle-of-the-road views on one single issue, they're radicals.
Talk about irony.
Have a search for 'Queen''s Consent'. She (and the new King) vetoed dozens of legislative ideas from the Scottish and Westminster Parliaments.
Ooofft. Yes please.
Why can’t she walk properly? She reminds me of the guy from Men in Black who is essentially an alien just wearing a guys skin
Just learned from BBC that Kate is actually called Catherine.
I'd consider myself in favor of a republic rather than a monarchy. But I do have respect for the job the Queen did.
Now is the time to end the monarchy though.

I fully expect to see Britain fall apart because of this news. The Queen was holding everything together, working in the shadows managing our public systems and foreign trade agreements, our schools and emergency services, our road and park maintenance, and everything else.
Hopefully Charles can be half as good as she was at running Britain, because otherwise we're in trouble.

It's the "good riddance" kind of stuff that feels weird. I don't care for monarchies, I actually think it's a bizarre institution to still be having in 2022. But I don't feel the urge to write "good riddance".
Pretty much how I feel too
Embarrassing the amount of posters here laughing at her death.
Replaced instantly! So sad. She's now referred to as just 'the King's mother'
Yeah I think hasta la vista baby is much better personally.
Exact same for me. I'd go even further than "bizarre" and call it a disgraceful thing to have in this day and age but celebrating someone's death is so low.
Come on now…please, that’s so hyperbolic. The amount of events that were and are so much more important than her death is basically impossible to count.Fecking hell stay classy.
Don't even have to leave this decade to find some proper big hitters
Yea and that wasn't a particularly good thing in today's world as she and her family are literally born into it, which is why I can understand people don't want to care to much.
RIP
I am a foreigner. The Queen personified UK for me.

I would love this to be Truss going off script.
most certainly! I get that many people find that it’s an important event, but talking about these scales feels really childish and sensationalist to me
How absolutely fuming do you think Bojo will be right now
I agree. No matter what you think of monarchy, she was quite an inoffensive person really and carried herself with a certain dignity.
Just binged the first 3 years of the Crown on Netflix, which I thought was well done. Looking forward to season 4, although one would imagine they will need to edit the ending now.

It takes a lot of effort and skill for her to have been so apolitical. There is a lot of projection going on where people regardless of political persuasion and views can see her as a surrogate mother or grandmother for the nation. Even die hard Republicans would not criticise her directly over the past 10 or 15 years.
I honestly hope we won't see anything like the tearing of clothes and rending of hair or vice a versa that Diana's death/murder/complete accident brought on but let's not kid ourselves, we are going to see some monumental rending.
Annus horribilis

All depends on your perspective and what you know really.
…and try our new pizza the Charlie topping, 2 for the price of one on this special occasion!
He will be incandescent. Throwing things across the room. "Why couldn't she have died a few weeks earlier!" One of the greatest photo ops in history, missed.
I'm sure he'll still get invited to St Paul's.
..Prince Andrew is a loyal customer at Domino’s
I suppose that is true. What would you say she did that was offensive? Genuinely interested.
New PM and Monarch in the same week. If the rule of three's apply, then what do we need to expect before the end of the week.
