In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
There's some very straight normal folk over here, you know? The weirdos
I suppose I mean the situation, rather than the speech. That such an anti-monarchy person would become PM just days before the Queen dies.
In PCIII's case, wait for your mammy to die.
My girlfriends sisters completely seriously asked my girlfriend if they should get me a gift.
Can you rephrase that? I’ve no clue what you’re trying to say.
This cannot be allowed here lul
World's clearly divided and going mad. RIP.
Being a Tory MP at the moment.
Definition of momentous
: having great or lasting importance : CONSEQUENTIAL, SIGNIFICANT
I don't think the UK will change due to her passing. King Charles will carry on the monarchy as will the UK once the initial shock to subsides.
Don’t think it’s permanent though, just a cooling off period probably..
He got a warning. I'd say the (temp?) ban was cumulative as he's quite often on the WUM.
Who is this guy?
Its been dealt with.
I hope she said yes
should've said yes and milked it for all you can.
People are idiots.
Thank you
I'd attribute it to the political class and their media in tow.
Also milk his gf's sisters.
I'll have to ask my grandmothers if they remember any different but I don't believe they let us have a parliament in any meaningful sense. But they did preside over 24 major famines in less than 50 years, resulting in 15 million deaths while a few people very far away got very rich.
Anyway, RIP. I'm not going to pretend I'm not a bit moved by this.
EDIT: Or was that aimed at the British posters?
I mean, I hope this country changes. Lord knows we need it to.
Does the monarch have any power in England? Can she change taxes (monarchs love taxes) or just come up with any laws? Or is it like our king that the position is basically a very well paid mascot job with major work benefits?
makes life easy. i’m already doing that in anticipation of the sideboard she has in hallway.
i hope you told her that in this scenario it’s customary for all non commonwealthers purchase a gift for a commonwealther and its value should not be less than £1 per year of her being on the throne.
not whilst i’ve still got a shred of dignity and decency.
Yes, pretty pathetic but hopefully you calm down now and have the emotional grasp of an adult and not a child.

You feel better now? Taken the edge off?
I hope you're pleased with yourself.
I'm not the one celebrating a death
I'm not the one celebrating a death
I'm not the one celebrating a death
I cant believe you called for, and got someone banned in a time of mourning. That is heartless
Deaths are celebrated all the time. You just happened to like this person, that's all.
Because back in the 17th and 18th century a lot of this was directly attributable to the monarch. Parliament only became independent truly of the monarch with George III's madness and his son's preference for chasing tail.
Charles II was responsible for setting up a company which enslaves a quarter of a million Africans, for one example.

Members of the Royal Family also used their positions in the House of Lords to ensure slavery was not abolished in many debates.
At this sombre time, at least we can be thankful that there will be a boost to the economy as people rush to use all the old coins and notes with the Queens head on before they become non legal tender in 30 days time.
I don't see what they said as doing that. Obviously if someone was actually celebrating someone's death thats not on.
