Queen Death: Thread for unhinged Tweets, opinions and behaviour

If I remember it right, don't Paddington's 'family' have a domestic/servant?

iirc it was Granny

Mrs Bird

'Live in housekeeper and distant relative' apparently.

Mrs. Bird

Mrs. Bird is the Brown's live-in housekeeper and distant relative. In the Paddington films, she is portrayed by Julie Walters. Mrs. Bird is an elder, sweet and gentle woman. However, she gets easily angered if anyone insults her. Her husband was in the Navy, so she likes everything neat, clean...

Bloke outs himself as a potential nonce for the cause

They're happy with fascists harassing and threatening innocent people and accusing them of being paedophiles, They're happy with anti-vaxxers harassing and threatening NHS staff and accusing them of being murderers.

Bloke outs himself as a potential nonce for the cause

His timeline is fucking awful. Tory fucking nonce.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

The nonce is getting some heat

The police should have arrested the obsequious idiots who assaulted him.

Dead and gone to dust. Animals don't have souls in either the RC or Anglican faiths. Obvs.

Far-right Americans seem very sad about the queen's death, including white supremacist former Trump administration official Stephen Miller.

I'm not certain there's any really appropriate place for this here so I'll choose this thread. The Poet Laureate has released his official tribute :

Floral Tribute​

Evening will come, however determined the late afternoon,

Limes and oaks in their last green flush, pearled in September mist.

I have conjured a lily to light these hours, a token of thanks,

Zones and auras of soft glare framing the brilliant globes.

A promise made and kept for life – that was your gift –

Because of which, here is a gift in return, glovewort to some,

Each shining bonnet guarded by stern lance-like leaves.

The country loaded its whole self into your slender hands,

Hands that can rest, now, relieved of a century’s weight.


Evening has come. Rain on the black lochs and dark Munros.

Lily of the Valley, a namesake almost, a favourite flower

Interlaced with your famous bouquets, the restrained

Zeal and forceful grace of its lanterns, each inflorescence

A silent bell disguising a singular voice. A blurred new day

Breaks uncrowned on remote peaks and public parks, and

Everything turns on these luminous petals and deep roots,

This lily that thrives between spire and tree, whose brightness

Holds and glows beyond the life and border of its bloom.

Such tender verses
Have left me unmoved
I'm not going to mourn
This monarch I never knew
Elizabeth who?

What a loathsome bootlicker Armitage is.

Wonderful. An utter classic.

There is also a tranche of the US establishment that takes being “sober patricians of integrity” very seriously. It’s not surprising that they see the UK monarchy as part of their in-group. (This tranche has been at war with recent Republicanism, incidentally.)

For example, our billionaire US CEO sent us this message:

In an era when nation-state leadership is sorely lacking, Queen Elizabeth stood out as a dedicated, wise and dignified figure of governance. Her strength and enduring commitment to duty and country were an example to us all.

Over the years, as towering leaders in so many countries came and went, Queen Elizabeth remained a constant and steadfast presence. Frankly, for much of the world, she was our Queen. And we are all saddened by this loss.

Also I never knew this was what it stood for...

That's because the derivation is rubbish. A few people are pointing that out on Twitter, but of course nobody's paying attention.

As with the reaction to Diana, there will be studies and research for years into exactly how so many people have been moved to pay tribute in such massive numbers, and all within the timeline of a country falling apart economically, environmentally and with transport etc.

He’s a friend of mine, he’s a barrister, he’s brilliant and so smart, his chambers does a lot of amazing work, he’s interested in green issues stuff, for instance the Sheffield trees trial. HS2. Good for him, this is classic Paul, exposing bullshit like this.
