Will lift morale, especially for the older generation struggling to cope.

What was wrong with it? I thought it was wise and profound.
One can dislike the monarchy and still agree with the Queen on what she just said.
I’m going through the same process. Yesterday I had to nominate a “clinical referee” i.e. someone I worked with/for the last time I actually touched a patient. Which will involve trying to get in touch with people I haven’t seen for 20 years. At the end of this, I would very much like a half session a week doing telephone triage like our glorious leader but suspect I’ll be fecked off to the arse end of nowhere to dig out ingrown toenails, or burn warts off. I’m not bitter though. Oh no.
Actually, I‘m really not. Good on him.
I'm no Royalist but Queenie is blooming lovely.
To encourage I guess. Thanks to NHS workers, and to understand that it will pass and things will return to normal.
Did you delete your original post?
I was trying to quote the "what's the point" and the "great message" from 2 different posters, and the second one had gone
Personally I think its great.
Either way, it's a fantastic way to enhance his empathy for what's going on, fortify his resolve and inspire his future decision making.
Pretty solid from the queen I thought. Not just platitudes but quite profound at times. Many will have found that encouraging.
Older generation, fair.
What was wise and profound about it?
Yeah I guess

The comments I see below tweets like this one make me think the UK is properly fecked. Completely different attitude here in Ireland, where you’re much more likely to see people go to the opposite extreme. What the feck is wrong with you people? It’s almost as though the whole Brexit thing has made a lot of you wilfully contrary. It’s actually quite depressing. The UK used to be a bastion of sanity and common sense. Not any more.
She's on a hiding to nothing. If she doesn't speak it'll be what the hell is the Quenn doing, if she does then half will be pissed off and half will be jingoistic.
Best to just let it go and worry about the real issues here.
Well, it's very rare that she speaks to the nation. When she does, it's an occasion and people recognise that things are serious. It's not so much what she says, the content is less important than the fact that she's said it.
For the love of god!
Good from him, but the reporting of Hancock suggesting that footballers especially should do the right thing is wide of the mark. I don't need to google for people, but he was literally ASKED about footballers, and his reply was that they, as should ALL members of society do the right thing if they can. It was not a call out to footballers specifically, he was just responding to a question that was loaded towards them and he included them in his response.
It's as pointless as clap for carers or rainbows drawn by children.
Take from that what you will.
Exactly. I don't particularly care for the royals but many do and they want to hear from her. My mother was very excited to hear the speech and was happy what was said.
FFS!
"it is what it is" - so cliched, and so often means "I don't understand the situation"
The bit when she said "Shout-out to the Caf".
innit
If it makes people stay inside, i'm all for it.
I don't think she would've been criticised if she said nothing, but I see your point.
Now that I agree withBig up the 'Caf massiv
Add that Italy the last 24 hours had the lowest number of deaths in two weeks.
I missed the queen unfortunately. Did she sign off with Deutschland Deutschland über alles?
Yeah, you're right. The more I think about it the more it's definitely a good thing to do. It just had to work its way past my reflexive cynicism.
While football behind closed doors in a couple of months will kill us all.
No, she actually gave a nod to Vera Lynn, who is even older than the Queen.
That’s a shame.
♫We'll eat again♫
Haha.
Football will not be happening for 12 months at least (I think there are 4 countries that have started seasons), closed doors or not.
Why is adiosmaradona trending on Twatter?
Yes.
Yes.
Fair play. Vegans are fecked as they don't do bear, don't do hen.
The message at the start of this whole thing was dreadful. Since then, it's been a massive uphill battle for them to change it & actually get people buying into it.
I think so as well, though they might finish this season behind closed doors... in a year. Would actually be good opportunity to regroup before 2022 World Cup which is supposed to take place in December. They could start the season before that one in November or so next year and have it run until September.
