Has the Queen died?

[editor]

Hearing the presenters on the BBC blustering away trying to find something to say when there is absolutely nothing to add is excruciating.

Bring back Bargain Hunt and come back when you've got some actual news, FFS.

 

[Idris2002]

Doesn't sound good

Truss the vampire drained her life force.

 

[ruffneck23]

sounds like it won't be long now

 

[angusmcfangus]

The lizards are gathering!

 

[Kaka Tim]

Does liz truss become queen now?

 

[Bingoman]

Just a thought I wonder if Harry has been informed yet?

 

[not-bono-ever]

So 8AM tomorrow then ?

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Wikipedia editors standing ready to update their tenses as soon as the announcement is made.

 

[not-bono-ever]

She probably looked around and thought , what a shithole my domain is now and my family are twats- might as well Chuck in the towel

 

[Flavour]

Rapid rapid decline come on liz let's make the beginning of the truss era fucking epic

 

[Sasaferrato]

For anyone who is under seventy, she has been Queen for all of their life. She became Queen the year I was born.

 

[moochedit]

So 8AM tomorrow then ?

I think the wait til 8am thing only applies if it happens late at night. We heard about phil about 11am iirc.

 

[Artaxerxes]

For anyone who is under seventy, she has been Queen for all of their life. She became Queen the year I was born.

And?

Wiki race

 

[CNT36]

Have they fucked up the telly for this then? At least wait til she croaks.

 

[elbows]

Nature of the BBC commentary adds to the sense that this is the moment they have long planned for. The presenters are choosing their words very carefully and sound nervous about saying the wrong thing. They are practicing sombre tones. Its all very wooden, a bit like listening to the state broadcaster many decades ago.

'Charles and Camilla' are heading there.

 

[Bingoman]

This may sound like a bit late in the day for this now,but am surprised she did not make a Regency for Charles?

 

[moochedit]

I text my mum about it she said, "You'd want to die too if you had to meet Boris Johnson and Lizz Truss in the same day."

Probably faking her death to avoid seeing truss again

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Charles and William on their way up there, sounds pretty final.

 

[ska invita]

I was enjoying Bargain Hunt before I was rudely interrupted by what is now a stream of fluff from BBC News.

FFS. I hate this country sometimes

 

[David Clapson]

It's on the Radio 4 news now....game on.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Just spotted Nicholas Wichell getting a quick trim at the local Kurdish barbers and then he ran into a waiting Addison Lee car

 

[Steel Icarus]

Getting excited

 

[Nine Bob Note]

They know how to announce this sort of thing.

He was talking excitedly to Jenny Bond as he leapt into the car

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I said to my wife this morning that I bet The Queen will be dead before the end of the year - looking like I should have said "day" instead...

Craig Charles starting now on 6, just the man for the job...
