GunmaN1905 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 RIP to the Queen, never really followed UK politics, but she seemed decent. So is the next guy in line that pedophile guy or another one? Seems like a perfect time to abolish monarchy. Seems ridiculous that any first world country still has a thing for people being more valuable than others just because they're born in a certain family. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 We all knew this day would eventually come, but living through it is no less of a shock. In just three days, we've gone from having a male PM and a Queen to having a female PM and a King. What a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Royal figurehead anyone under the age of 75 will know or remember. No love for the Royals (or dislike either). RIP Mrs Queen. Yeah definitely a bit surreal - i've read those 'what will happen when the queen dies' articles so many times. Now today is the day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will also be the last time any of us posting here will see a Queen as the UK head of state. Charles, William, George means we're going to get kings for probably the next 60 years or so.

Huw talking with that correspondent about how there's no news and they're still waiting, when clearly it had been announced a good minute or two beforehand because of the flag and the commotion at the gate Perhaps they were getting their updates off ITN and sat on the pause button.

They’ll definitely call off this weekends games. The sporting bodies want it. But upto the DCMS. Lack of police will probably be the issue. The Queens body will come back by train, which means hundreds of thousands of people along various parts of the route, which will need policing. Also it's likely to screw with travel completely.
