tinker Posted September 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2022 My thoughts on it all......The Royal family will very shortly be led by Charles and Camilla. Once the funeral is over and things settled down Charles will start voicing his opinions and the whole thing will be brought to it's knees, the guys an idiot.

The snarkiness with his staff and the people he's visiting around the country is just the start of it I think he's already got more bad press than the Queen ever got 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's heavy yes, but expected, not sure what VT expected, report she's dead then throw her in a box the week after, job done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, say a black mans black and you'll get ripped a new one on VT, but it's a free for all slagging mourners of the queen and the monarchy no problem. I think you're slightly misrepresenting the times you've been called out for your opinions. Edited September 15, 2022 by Davkaus 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) With the queen, it was don’t hate the player hate the game. I quite liked her, I think William is alright, Harry is great. They’re born into something that shouldn’t exist in modern society. It had its place in time. Anyway, with regards to different opinions in the real world, it depends where you live doesn’t it. In my circle and line of work it’s almost all jokes and couldn’t give less of a shit because I hang out with people I get on with. I do also acknowledge that a large portion of the population is insane. In a different way to my insane, I’m also insane. But correct insane.

It'll be interesting to see if he keeps a low profile for a bit after the funeral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the matter of just not being a prick impressing your opinion on people who disagree. I'll say exactly what I think on here, people are free to disagree, argue, or just block me, whatever. At work, I'm less likely to tell colleagues that I think they're a disgusting family harbouring a sexual predator, with no concern but hoarding their ill-gotten wealth. Unless I know they agree, anyway. Politics and religion are dangerous topics in the real world, but not so much on VT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hang on… According to Norwegian newspaper VG, Celtic are under investigation by UEFA for a Green Brigade banner at their midweek game that read «F*** THE CROWN» and singing anti-monarchy chants. Investigated for what, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted September 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2022 Interesting weekend ahead. The queue passes under the balcony at the other half’s apartment. Apparently it’s all very jovial, lots of chatter and bits of singing. I can imagine my patience for that sort of carry on being very limited during the night. Would it be inappropriate of me to stock up on water balloons before I head over there tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Just watching the news on The Queue. Apparently they've got a fast track for people with disabilities. Which I think is a fine thing. But then they interviewed one of the disabled queuers: "I've got autism, ADHD and Tourette's". How does that stop you joining the regular queue? All so you can walk past the coffin and shout "**** OFF!" Edited September 15, 2022 by mjmooney 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that stop you joining the regular queue? All so you can walk past the coffin and shout "**** OFF!" There’s a short answer and then there’s a more detailed answer. Given that your question is at least a little tongue-in-cheek, I’ll give you the short one. Basically, you can’t open yourself up to a discrimination case. If you make a concession for one type of disability, it’s much easier to open the doors to all than try and justify each on their individual merits.
