Can't they nominate someone from the office like they do with the fire wardens? FFS

Whilst I don't expect massive public celebrations when Brenda pegs, I somehow can't imagine that there will be much outrage if Downing St is tardy lowering the flags, the response is liable to be along the lines of 'meh'
Any suggestion of a social media blackout is interesting as well perhaps no-one who works in the world's fanciest council house has realised that all significant social media is owned by and managed from the (former) Colonies and that not likely to be arsed by anything coming out of Buck House.

there will be public outrage if the cabinet do not commit suicide after her death to provide her with their dubious service in the afterlife

There isn’t going to be any escape from it. And I’m willing to bet at least some of your friends will surprise you.

It's actually quite easy to escape the faux mourning. I don't watch TV, and I get to choose what I read online. I also live 50 yards from from what seems to be a very Irish pub, as I hear lots of screams from the beer garden at weekends when I assume an Irish team scores in some sport thing. I haven't been in the pub yet, as I've only just moved here, and Covid, but I'll be making a reservation when the Queen pops her clogs, as I reckon it'll be the most celebrated event in Ireland's history.

I'm not so sure. I heard the Prince Philip palaver was a pain, but as I don't watch telly/listen to the radio and only look at what I want to on the internet I kind of missed the worst of it.
Worst viewing figures in years too!

Yep, probably right. Getting the flag at half mast within ten minutes is not about the general reaction, but the reactions of those royalist nutters who hang around like ghouls at public buildings, always ready for a vox pop for a journalist.

Any news?

They not been killed off by the anti-vaxxer ratlickers breathing on them then? How many royalist nutters are left out there?, I noticed that the public wailing and grieving over Phil The Greek seemed to me to be a lot less than what it was when People's Princess shuffled off this mortal coil. Admittedly it was of course in the middle of lockdown but since I avoided it on the telly, the biggest exposure I had to it was on here not the most royalist leaning of forums. There was some wanker on my estate playing the last post on the day of the funeral but that was about it.
I don't think republicanism is very strong in this country but I definitely think royalism is on the wane as well, a few nutters on the telly banging on about lack of respect are probably not going to attract much attention or support especially given we have a goodly supply of other nutters in the form of the ratlickers who seem to getting madder every day.

There is a Charles must never be king lot. But almost without exception they want William to be next on the throne. All it takes for royalism to persist is for good men and women to do nothing.

Chucky will get his bum on the Big Seat, the current Govt has zero interest in constitutional reform and will almost certainly still be in power when Brenda becomes eligible to have her likeness stuck on the spare plinth in Trafalgar.
I know she's a robust old biddy but she's still 95 she can't have many more years left surely (though she might still outlive her son). I'd lay money on it (if I thought I would be alive to collect) that the House of Windsor is in it's final century but it's going to be most of it. Couple of generations left in them yet. My grandsons (4 and 1) have a reasonable chance of seeing the end of the monarchy but neither I or anyone else on this forum will alas.

TBH I'd much sooner see Chucky on the throne than Billy the Bald, Billy is altogether much more charismatic and generally appealing than his dear old Dad. If he comes to the job whilst he's young and still fairly enthusiastic, there is a distinct possibility he will give it enough of a boost to carry on longer than it naturally should probably into the 22nd century. Better he comes to the throne when he's much older and a bit bitter about waiting so long.
Chucky won't hasten its fall but the slow and steady decline will continue, man is about as inspiring as a bucket of cold sick.
I know this is satire, but it’s not true, although I understand why you might think so (middle-Englanders etc). Most people don’t subscribe to this view, just as most people don’t subscribe to the Mail

Don't get your hopes up, it's surprising who she has managed to charm over the years.
