There really aren't enough WTFs in the world. What is wrong with people?

Donations for late Queen given to fuel bill charity

 

[Puddy_Tat]

although at least it's going to what looks a worthwhile cause, not being put to a statue or something...

 

[nightowl]

I bet they're the same muppets who hang around outside the church at Christmas waiting to give the parasites presents.

People associated the Queen with her charities.

When people die who mean something to people, donations to charities are often involved.

The Queen meant something to a lot of people.

I'm not a monarchist, you're not a monarchist, but surely the logic of how this happens isn't all that mysterious*.

* - this is where I get accused of being a monarchist, regardless of the first half of the sentence

 

[nightowl]

I really don't believe these were all charity donations.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Yeah, thanks for the bit of donated bauble, Chazza. Helps people keep the lights on.

What a fucking time to be alive.

 

[8ball]

What a fucking time to be alive.

It still is, overall, a pretty amazing time to be alive compared to very many other times that humans were alive.
Part of that is down to what people in the past did for us and other people in their futures.

We've got a ways to go, but keep on trucking.

Cool.

From the PA: "The Fuel Bank Foundation said financial donations, sent to the King in condolence cards after the death of the late Queen, have been passed on to the charity."

It's just mind-boggling, who the fuck would do that? "Condolences on the death of the queen, your kingship, here's £20 for you to do whatever you want with."

 

[platinumsage]

It’s not rocket science is it, loads of people bought flowers which all went to waste in Green Park, and it’s commonly stated in funeral notices to donate to charity instead e.g.:

Dear Your Majesty

Sorry your mum died. In lieu of flowers, please pass the enclosed on to a charity of your choosing.

With much sympathy,

8ball

 

[Yossarian]

So despite the queen and the king famously being patrons of numerous specific charities, their biggest fans decided the best way to donate was to put cash in envelopes chucked on top of flowers in front of the palace?

With a different group of people that might seem far-fetched but yeah, I guess that is a likely scenario

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Makes you wonder just how much 8ball sent…

 

[Spymaster]

I don’t think even the most deluded bootlicker thinks Chas is going to take the cash from the card and stick it in his wallet. They’re charity donations, made with a tug of the forelock.

 

[ouirdeaux]

As the Royals don't carry money, Charles probably doesn't own a wallet.

 

[nightowl]

Probably doesn't even know what one is.

Nah, he has people to do that for him...and then carry the dosh around in plastic carrier bags.

Dunno, funerals are expensive and sounds like they went all out so...

I think it’s only the monarch who doesn’t carry money, allegedly.
Would be surprised if that’s still true considering Charles is in his 70’s now.

Apparently, Liz used to take a tenner to church for the collection.

And my fucking wife.

It's going to cost millions to change the printing stuff, I guess. They're probably trying to squeeze a bit more life out of the current gear.

Yes, a quick change over has got the printers licked,

A friend of mine, now dead, used to work in Windsor in the 50s and told me that the gifts sent to the then young Prince Charles and Princess Anne by lickspittle members of the public were loaded into lorries, still wrapped, and sent to landfill
