Malinga the Swinga Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 She's done a lot for the country and never wavered on her determination to serve. If she has chosen to spend her last days in Scotland, then I wish her peace. I know she means a great deal to older people, my mother in law for example, and it will be strange to not have her presence, as she does offer a reassuring stability whilst the madness of the world rages on.

Currently on the phone to the Sky audio team ordering them to use mics from the museum for the rest of the season. Speaking of republicans, the royal family’s not for me but I don’t take any delight in an old woman dying. However if they could hold off on the announcement until after the game kicks off, that would be splendid. Now, back to that mental image of Nick Whitchell and his crotchless leather pants… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to be well into your 70s to remember before she came to the throne. If the announcement is made this afternoon, I am sure the game will not go ahead - and neither will this weekend’s.

Cruyff Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The Queen's a great woman who has never put a foot wrong. She's probably been the greatest monarch that's ever lived. If she does die, they won't tell us until Monday or early on during a week because they'll want to tear the arse out of the grief for a good full week.

JudyJudyJudy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I think there will be a lot of mixed emotions for people when her death is announced. For me I feel for anyone who loses a mother. No matter what age she is. It's a devastating loss. Well for most it is. However, this is tempered by her being representative of an elitist, outdated institution which really should be no part of a modern forward-thinking country. The obscene wealth she has, and her family have is in direct contrast to the obscene poverty in the UK. It doesn't sit well with me at all. I guess it will be shattering for some as she represents " stability" in these troubled times whereas I think i haven't ever felt that. The right wing / Brexit mob types will be grieving in their millions, feeling it's another nail in the coffin for the " Empire" As others have noted I am genuinely going to be sickened by the obscene wealth on display and money spent for her funeral whilst others are deciding whether to boil their kettle for a cuppa or not. I actually feel quite angry when people say " oh well she has lived a good life " Shes 96. Ofcourse she has. She has had the best of health care , never ever worried about money and bills. That impacts on anyone's wellbeing and probably longevity. Whereas I feel that it will give us the opportunity to really debate the role of the monarch. However, i think Charles will royally duck things up anyway. Ideal time to end the monarch really. Thanks for your service and all but its 2022.

JudyJudyJudy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Knuckle down for the next few weeks at least. The state sponsored mourning will be wall to wall 24 /7. Enforced mourning. When most will think " oh that's sad news, what's on the telly later ? " But you will be forgiven for thinking otherwise as the " grief of the nation" will be distorted to epic proportions.
