Has the Queen died?

[Raheem]

Charles the Third! Just sounds ridiculous.

May I be the first to pronounce it "turd".

 

[bimble]

She does pay some tax, on estate earnings iirr. It was all part of her miserable anus

yep but i think she chose to do that, or was advised by the PR people

The BBC are reading a statement from Johnson, it doesnt seem to include anything about letting the bodies pile higher.

He wasn't so sombre the night before Philip's funeral.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

So today we learn we’re going save money on energy bills (no we’re not they are still going up) but we’re paying for the funeral as well.

And Andrew's nonce fines

 

[Steel Icarus]

WTF is this?

I for one fondly remember her thunderous 40 yard strike into the top corner of Newcastle's goal on a bog of an Edgar Street pitch in 1972. Crew cuts, fishtail parkas, mud, amused coppers

The Facebook poetry has begun.

Phillip came to me today,
and said it was time to go.
I looked at him and smiled,
as i whispered that "I know"

I then turned and looked behind me,
and seen I was asleep.
All my Family were around me,
and I could hear them weep.

I gently touched each shoulder,
with Phillip by my side.
Then I turned away and walked,
with My Angel guide.

Phillip held my hand,
as he lead the way,
to a world where King's and Queens,
are Monarch's every day.

I was given a crown to wear
or a Halo known by some.
The difference is up here,
they are worn by everyone.

I felt a sense of peace,
my reign had seen its end.
70 years I had served my Country,
as the peoples friend.

Thank you for the years,
for all your time and love.
Now I am one of two again,
in our Palace up above.

oh my god i'm watching it, bbc, utterly ridiculous nonsense being said. the end of the second Elizabethan Age, a nation plunged into grief, all said in slow wavering voice.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I got one of the art AI things to make a pic for me the other week. "Queen Elizabeth returns to her home planet". Never though it would come so soon, though!

She looks like a Dalek in drag

Official announcement:

 

[elbows]

"this was a Queen like a fish" they just said on the BBC as the propaganda ramps up to fever pitch.

 

[Lancman]

I go to bed tonight with a heavy heart.

 

[Elpenor]

They will! Sorry

Found it on BBC sounds by going to the Friday repeat

 

[bimble]

a distillation of out national identity!

 

[Lord Camomile]

One of no doubt many to come...

 

[marty21]

Charles III it is. Let’s hope he ends the same way as his predecessor.

He now takes over from Richard as a signifier of a degree (I got a Desmond TuTu )

 

[elbows]

They havent mentioned her sense of humour much yet.

 

[danny la rouge]

"this was a Queen like a fish" they just said on the BBC as the propaganda ramps up to fever pitch.

Yes, she had scales and gills.

 

[elbows]

a distillation of out national identity!

And hyping up the idea that she gave people a sense of certainty and that now we are entering an era where people will feel unsettled, a moment of potential risk.

But not surprised by Unison

[Wilf]

May I be the first to pronounce it "turd".

We need a long list of Dubliners on the telly to congratulate our new monarch.

 

[danny la rouge]

Unison are a disgrace.

My union.

 

[bimble]

They havent mentioned her sense of humour much yet.

I think that will all be finely planned, that will be for day three or something, when we are robust enough to handle the mere idea of anything being funny ever again

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Channel Four News 'Politics will be suspended for the next two weeks' What the fuck. At this point when the country is on it's knees?

Just stick her in the ground and get on with trying to fix the country. Not that I've got an ounce of faith in Truss and the rest of them.

[Elpenor]

My union.

Mine too
