Just strange that they cried like such a bunch of paedos when we disrupted the minute’s silence for the pope Can't accept that it's fair enough. Silence would have been appropriate. Their vile behaviour was extensively reported here. I take heart that tomorrow Charles will still be their king, and the next day and the day after that and every subsequent day until he dies. After that, they'll have King William. They'll love that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most populous countries in the world are China and India, who either care little about her or despise her for what she represents. Canada is a member of the Commonwealth, as you know. Based on comments in the media and letters to the editors in the newspapers, I'll be stunned if 10% of the population get up at a very early hour to watch. No-one that I know will bother.

You got me thinking when you mentioned India and I had to do a bit of checking. Like Canada, it is in fact a Commonwealth country and of course it has English traditions like their love of cricket. I very much doubt that swathes of their population either don't care about her or detest her for what you believe she represents. You could be right of course but I very much doubt it. As for China, I suspect neither of us has a clue. I would think the countries with the least interest would be predomininantly muslim nations but that wouldn't be true of Pakistan. I doubt if a single country despises the Queen or the monarchy for what she or it represents. I have abolutely no issues with individuals or countries who are republican. The prime ministers of Aussie and NZ are committed republicans but they have deep admiration and respect for the Queen. As does your own prime minister. Sorry my views on this appear to upset you so much. Yours don't upset me. You are fully entitled to hold them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I'll be watching it tonight, not because of any faux grief but because it is a moment in history when someone who has seen the most momentous events of the 20th century and 21st century at the highest levels of power passes away. It is also one of the biggest events in the world post pandemic with world leaders in the same vicinity. That is significant. You don't need to be a monarchist to appreciate that significance but sitting getting bent out of shape about the funeral and the pageantry around it is hilarious. I have some sympathy with the view that there is "forced mourning" and the coverage has been toadying to the nth degree. Equally, if some people are really upset about it then that's on them. The sad thing for Her Maj is that she lived through a time when there was genuine respect for other's views to the modern world of social media where people have found their own echo chambers to reinforce their own biases.

Most countries around the world will broadcast it, just like most countries around the world broadcast events like the World Cup Final. In truth, the eyeballs watching those events are estimates anyway and no one will know the exact figure. Not that it really matters. A global audience of 4bn will never be proven if it is claimed. The Guinness Book of Records won't be publishing that based on someone plugging numbers into a spreadsheet and projecting from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
