Queen Elizabeth II | 1926-2022 | Rest in Peace

I agree. No matter what you think of monarchy, she was quite an inoffensive person really and carried herself with a certain dignity.

Same for me. Without being a fan of the institution that is the British Monarchy, I always appreciated the dignity from the person.

I swear that I cannot imagine the ton of pressure under which the next monarch will find himself. If you think that being a successor to Sir Alex Ferguson was tough for any of the managers who came after, oh boy, that has nothing on what the next king will go through.

If anything, she left the world without much pain and not being dependent on others to live her life. Her supporters should celebrate the life she lived than her passing.

I suppose that is true. What would you say she did that was offensive? Genuinely interested.

Another time I think.

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.

Klopp gone by Sunday?

RIP

Maybe keep one thread going?

I personally considering protecting sex offenders to be quite offensive, but each to their own

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.

Die hard republicans don't care of her apolitical behavior that it only served their own survival ( As someone would accept the royals meddling in politics)

Die hard republicans care, among other things, that no one should have the birth right to be in a government institution symbolic power place and have the right over money through taxes, nobiliary titles, corruption, impunity and live on properties plundered along the centuries. It doesn't make sense

You “now is the time to end the monarchy” folks know that King Charles III is already king, right?

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.

No no he said he was going to slink off to some island somewhere and never be seen again. He wouldn't lie to us, would he?

I suppose the sentiment is for a nation in the 21st century to wake up finally now that the last relic of their past is gone.

Categorically, yes.

Just all the taxpayer money funding her whole lifestyle and that of her kids.

When was the last time you met a die hard republican? The very notion of this gives them the biggest erection you've ever seen.

I mean you can also mourn without going completely over the top

 

[Massive Spanner]

Categorically, yes.

Yeah, no, definitely not. The feck did she do that was great?

 

[calodo2003]

Trump Truthed about her passing yet?

 

[UnsungHero]

Yeah, no, definitely not. The feck did she do that was great?

I'm not prepared to debate this now with an anti-monarchist loon.

I suppose the sentiment is for a nation in the 21st century to wake up finally now that the last relic of their past is gone.

And what? Spend loads of money to have elections every four years for a position that has no power? Spend loads of money on a referendum on removing the monarchy? Then, after all that, ending up with William as King/Head-of-State because he is the most popular option. Just seems a completely stupid idea. No money will be saved with removing the monarchy, either, as the vast majority is spent on staff and maintenance for the properties.

The wealth she enjoyed was built off the backs of slaves. Everything she represented is evil.

So, nothing then.

[VidaRed]

Ok. So the Queen is finally gone, and good riddance, don't you think it's time to get rid of the fecking monarchy? What is this, the Middle Ages?

I think its time to get rid of democracy with the way its gone down the shitter.

These kind of comments are so out of place. Millions if not billions of people show and have to show these traits on a daily basis from struggling positions. She isn't the one making that comment so she isn't the target of my point but she exemplifies nothing, the millions of people who wake up every morning not knowing if they will be able to work enough to earn food for their family and themselves and still go about their day with a smile on their face those people are many, too many.

Please, this cannot be allowed here. For gods sake someone has passed away, this is not right mods. I know this poster has a longstanding history here, but this is not right. I can't be the only one that thinks this?

All right Toto.
