Mark Albrighton Posted September 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2022 The thing is, seemingly when people DO adopt something other than a “laissez-faire” attitude, in this instance the anarchy of holding a blank piece of paper, the police are on hand to prevent it going any further. So I guess a theoretical “revolution” is fine, just not one put into practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I think the problem is that the people who want to have a grown up discussion about the future of the monarchy really haven’t been heard at all for years. It was hoped that once the queen was gone that maybe there would be that chance before the country jumped feet first into something with a new monarch. Thats not how the monarchy or the constitution works though. When one dies the next is immediately sovereign. There’s no period of transition or discussion and that’s really going to annoy people who want to have those conversations. I do wish the police would find some other way of dealing with it other than to arrest people who’ve done very little wrong, even if what they’re doing is in pretty poor taste (and I agree with their position fyi), ill judged and potentially dangerous to themselves. In fact with regard to the man who was arrested after being pulled to the ground by another spectator he was assaulted and they need to arrest the other guy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 People queuing up for 12 hours to see her coffin. Gotta be honest, I'd have to weigh up if it was worth that wait to see my own Nans coffin. People never fail to impress me with their over reaction to events like this. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 For abolition to ever be considered you'd have to imagine it would need to go to a referendum and surely you'd expect that side of the argument to get trounced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
