Has the Queen died?

Christ. I don't think it's healthy to look at my Facebook feed right now. The collective frenzy is building. From right wing army officers to trade union activists.

Just madness.

As a sociological study, this could spawn dozens of dissertations.

This is one of those times when I realise how my 'norms' are completely out of kilter with the majority. Maybe it has something to do with 'belonging', a shared sense of experience. Something I've mostly lacked in my life.

More fool them. Heigh ho.

My page is full of it too, and most of my list are Americans.
 
The TV next door is so loud I can't get away from it. I have some ear plugs some where.
Why not just tell them to turn it down? Or take a bottle through and have a drink with them. You might like each other, and if not, at least they'll be more receptive to future requests to turn the noise down.
 
People always say she was OK like it's a mitigating factor. If she was so great she could've said 'fuck this' at any point. Why is it that only being a Nazi or a nonce or marrying one of our colonial cousins is considered reason enough to fuck off out of this ridiculous institution?
Her life of 'service' and 'duty' has always seemed like a pretty shit way to live your life. Also, a pretty shit way to have a family, knowingly bringing them into the same shit.

Still her kids didn't turn out bad did they. Oh...
 
tbh, not quite sure how I really feel about the news.

on one hand, sorry that we've lost a sometimes useful figurehead, but worried about the quality of the somewhat aged replacement ...

on the other hand, I resent the waste of resources and the unfairness of the monarchy & class system ...

The other thing that's bugging me is how this situation is bringing back sad memories of losing my parents and certain friends / relatives ...
 
By the by, all 'queen' banknotes are officially worthless now. However I'm willing to exchange any you might have for a rather generous 10% of their value.
If you were a Tory, you'd be preparing to go round the pubs at closing time, telling people exactly that.
