Whats worse is when vegans hold up signs at Burger King where there is a crowd of people that love meat Even though we have a First Amendment in the US that's supposed to protect dissent, we also have racism and cops who find a way to get the result they want: Quote A verbal encounter with police at a Black Lives Matter protest led pregnant activist to 4-year prison sentence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Queens money is probably all tied up in the Duchy of Lancaster so passes to Charles. Chales will lose the Duchy of Cornwall so that will go to William If any will exists it'll just be a few items to remember her by I think. She's got quite a bit of personal cash/assets. I can't imagine that the hush money for her nonce son came from anything to do with The Crown for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That’s not to mock people who need professional help with mental health issues, btw. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve been there myself, quite recently.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole of St Helens needs professional help Ah I see the connection now, it's the inbreeding that connects them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it seems kind of weird, but also, there's something very honest and primal about being devastated by the death of one's monarch or cult leader. Honestly delusional, perhaps, but very human, too. I'm sure I've read of similar things when I took an anthropology course or something?

Breach of the peace? What the **** is that, really, but an excuse to silence dissent? People in the crowd were like, "There's a time and place for that." I mean, isn't that kind of the point of public dissent, to speak up in the wrong place at the wrong time? Personally, I find her sign in poor taste and obnoxious and callous. But illegal? It's illegal to have a swear word on a sign which is the breach of the peace part, not the anti-monarchy part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with all those 1950s British war films, which so often featured a rifle section or bomber crew made up of various British stereotypes - the cockney wideboy, the simple west country lad, etc. - and the inevitable 'Taff', 'Jock' and 'Paddy'. It wasn't patronising, it was quite the opposite - our differences were there for sure, and they were to be cherished. But what you and your mates had in common was more important. OK, it's 2022, not 1942, I get that. And maybe now it's as cringe-inducing as 'sambo' or 'Chinky'. But take my little joke in the spirit in which it was intended. You sheepshagging bastard. Come on your better than that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s at times like this I’m glad I don’t watch live TV. The only thing I’ve seen of it was in the gym yesterday where for the whole hour I was there, it just showed the cortege procession through Scotland. People will literally be glued to this all day.
