Same, while also laughing hysterically at some of the jokes doing the rounds. The cognitive dissonance of the humble British subject. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Old lady dies, its sad when anyone dies I guess but for me its ‘person of immense privilege and immense wealth dies, life is still absolutely shit for working class people and those below, lucky few continue lives of comfortable privilege’. Nothing will change. The ruling classes will remain. The poor will get poorer. She was head of a broken nation. It’s an end of an era, that’s about it.

Rodders Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Being briefly serious I probably will endeavour to watch one or two documentaries, as it is a pretty big milestone, but hopefully it'll be a genuinely interesting one, not some fawning hagiographical shite ( of which there will be many, and even the decent ones will still invite the gag reflex on occasion I suspect ) Edited September 8, 2022 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a peculiar feeling. I guess for most people one of the few constant in everyone's lives has been that we have a queen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've mentioned before that I know someone who was at university with Witchell, and she confirms that he was always a clearing in the woods.

Well apart from harbouring a paedo, killing off her DiL and the countless other major controversies she’s tried to keep quiet over the decades.
