Who?

Saffron? Very much would. Although I have no idea what she looks like now.
-
Please do.
-
They're not wrong.
-
It doesn't matter anyway because no politician was allowed to speak to the media until the formal announcement.
-
The.....lead....singer...of..Radio...wait what was everyone talking about? I think I got lost somewhere.

Thom Yorke is gonna beat your ass for that one.

What does the commonwealth even mean though. Is it not just a loose affiliation of countries that kind of share the same values? The Queen had absolutely no influence on laws in Australia or elsewhere (not even in the UK), even if she was referred to as 'head of state'. And when I was in New Zealand, it seemed to me that they more interested in the Queen than we were.

Seconded. RIP Elizabeth. Interesting watching CNN this evening, as an outsider's take. It seems as though she was kind of the world's defacto mum. The yanks seem quite shocked by it all too.

WW2 was a narrow 2-1 win. Falklands was a solid 2-0 Iraq and Afghanistan, though... nil-nil draws.

Is that an Oompa Loompa from the Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
-
Indeed, I can't stand that dude.

In fairness to the BBC I would imagine padding a programme for an hour with absolutely no information would be quite tricky.
-
Fair enough. I am going to continue to give the politicians their due lack of respect whilst also following this.
-
I mean sure, but literally none of the things you mention are the fault of the Queen.
-
Well I've stood in front of Buckingham Palace and seen some, so that's more than none. Or are you thinking people will travel to the UK to not see the Queen?
-
How would you know how many tourists France would have with a Monarchy if they don't have one? Each to their own, bud.
-
I take it you are being facetious.
-
Of course, yeah. First time in my life there will be a King. That will take some getting used to.
-
There is definitely something going on, given the broadcasts.
-
I think that would be an excellent idea for all concerned. Plus, a Villa fan in Bucks Palace! Maybe we'd get more VAR calls go for us.

I'm not a hardcore royalist, but the queen does some good work, and has represented the country admirably. The Royal Family has significant tourism value if nothing else. I would be very sad to hear her passing, and unfortunately I don't think it will be long, especially if the Family have been summoned.

It is sad to see the Republican Party stoop to this. I've never been a fan, and increasingly disagree with their values, but Trumpism is not Republicanism, or conservatism, and I wish his supporters could see it. Lincoln would be turning in his grave.
