King Charles III's time is up

[Sue]

He's been diagnosed with cancer.

He's only been in charge for five minutes after waiting decades and decades. He must be well pissed off.

 

[PTK]

BBC Radio 4 has just told me that the king, the queen, and the wider royal family will be shocked by this diagnosis. Well, I wouldn’t have guessed!

 

[brogdale]

Anyone else in the queue yet?

 

[Aladdin]

Would not wish a cancer diagnosis on anyone.

Would not wish a cancer diagnosis on anyone.

With its increasing prevalence you don't need to. If only everyone with such a diagnosis received such swift care

 

[NoXion]

Saw the news on Reddit and rushed to this thread to post my utmost concern. Is it likely to be terminal?

No 62 day+ wait for sausage

Yes..I do realise this and he obviously is extremely privileged and has enormous wealth.

Cancer is a leveller.

Eta. Clearly waiting times are not good according to the previous post

 

[brogdale]

Yes..I do realise this and he obviously is extremely privileged and has enormous wealth.....but a cancer diagnosis is a great leveller and in general once a diagnosis is made the subsequent treatment does start quite quickly. Certainly in Ireland and I would think the UK also.

For non-royals, a deteriorating situation In the UK

Just saw that

 

[PTK]

Just saw that

We should be demanding that everyone gets the same treatment as the king.

 

[brogdale]

On a brighter note, this is all very environmental; no need to fell trees for the scaffold

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Says not so i guess they saw something else while doing a scan.

Hopefully nothing trivial.

And God help any of those people who need an ambulance.

That's what gets me about the way this stuff's dealt with by the media. I can't stand the royals, wouldn't wish cancer on anyone though, but what about all the people who won't get anything like the treatment they do? What about the disgusting state of the NHS? Sycophantic crap while so many people are being made to suffer. Sod this shite.

 

[planetgeli]

Sorry, what are you lot on about? I've been watching Al-Jazeera and they've not mentioned him. Just full of bloody women and children screaming on hospital floors waiting to be treated in Rafah. Biased twats eh?

 

[moochedit]

Hopefully nothing trivial.

We know it's cancer so not trivial.

 

[brogdale]

Not to have any king would be a better demand

They do, pretty much. From initial X-ray to start of treatment for Mary was less than a month.

 

[Sasaferrato]

I can't stand the Royals but I can't quite celebrate Charlie boy getting that diagnosis.

No person with a shred of decency would.

 

[Kaka Tim]

lack of detail on what form of cancer and what stage maybe suggests hes fucked?

 

[brogdale]

Pleased to hear about your Mary's experience, but your specific does not reflect the general, deteriorating trends:

 

[Kaka Tim]

and more importantly - how many days off do we get this time for the funeral?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Don't wish it on anyone, yada, yada...

But I think we still retain the right to be cynical and annoyed at the prospect of yet more public money spent on another funeral and another coronation, full of ludicrous pomp and circumstance to remind us that 'they're simply better than us'.

Yah - he got cancer just to waste your tax payers money.
