Has the Queen died?

[brogdale]

Forgive me, I'd got my wires crossed. That was Wimbledon in the 60s.
It was a huge live broadcast seen by millions though.

Moon landings?
Fake.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, and everyone celebrated. As everyone did in 1981. as everyone was sad when Diana died...

So, nothing much has changed. Why the fuck not?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Speculation also rife on M***net. Someone saying Theresa May due to make a statement at 8am! How they purport to know that I do not know.

<mentally hums X Files theme tune>

It's made its way to Twitter

Oh yes.

Time travel of 14 years and 29 days, at least.

'They're all wearing black on the news...'

<turns on iPlayer to see if actually true>

ETA the weatherman isn't.

ETA the newsreader isn't either!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Where are they getting their info from? Probably just looked up the protocol for when the queen dies and saw any announcement would not be made until 8am.

Still, exciting stuff.

Tweeted by whom?? Some loon??

(noticed some scepticism even there anyway -- see Helen Baxter's tweet )

True.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Tweeted by whom?? Some loon??

Various different folk all repeating the same rumour, basically.

 

[Orang Utan]

I've just had a crazy idea. Maybe she isn't dead and really does just have a head cold. Or is even pretending to be ill to get out of a lot of tedious family and public engagements.
Who hasn't done that? I know I have.

Are they .... Republicans, then?? On the BBC???

 

[Lord Camomile]

The hashtag #mediablackout is trending quite heavily, which might suggest something is going on, even if it isn't actually a death.

 

[William of Walworth]

'might suggest' .......

 

[Lord Camomile]

Everyone now convinced that the colour of the BBC staffs' outfits means there has been NO DEATH.

 

[William of Walworth]

'They' had better start releasing her official doppelganger out in public very very soon

'People' might start getting 'ideas' if 'they' don't do 'that' ....

 

[brogdale]

Did anyone else's lights just flicker? Or is it Thames House trying to close me do

 

[William of Walworth]

My lights are just fine

<grabs beer >

 

[brogdale]

Back on.

Not looking good is it?
Google auto-complete says double dead!!

That's what they want you to think

Reptilian stooge!

He is one of them.

And the sheeple say the chemtrails aren't real, eh?

 

[Nylock]

<partypooper>
Maybe the big news is she's going to abdicate...
</partypooper>

 

[aqua]

Or no news at all...

 

[bi0boy]

If only we still had no-nonsense news reporters like Chris Morris on air, he'd soon get to the bottom of this conspiracy.

 

[moochedit]

Obviously she hasn't emerged from her cocoon yet so they've delayed the announcement.

Tweeted by whom?? Some loon??

A U75 member. (Having fun).

 

[brogdale]

Or no news at all...

Classic sign.

 

[danny la rouge]

Moon landings?
Fake.

Try saying that to Louis Armstrong!
