The queen's death will be followed by seven days of nonstop public mourning enforced by martial law on penalty of death, then a pre-recorded video will play of her last will and testament to be detonating the nukes in all British territories, which Boris will hit the button for while furiously wanking with the other hand

The funniest possible result is the queen dies and instead of coronating Charles they just stick her corpse on the throne forever

Can't skip charles - not how the monarchy works. He'd have to abdicate and hes not doing that.

Assuming he outlives Brenda, he will become king the instant she dies (faster than light transmission of monarchy*) and would then need to abdicate if he did not want to be king, which I guess he could do within a couple of seconds (I don't know what process is needed to abdicate) at which point William would succeed by the instantaneous transmission of monarchy. I don't know how much pressure Charles could be put under to abdicate if he doesn't want to.

Edward VIIIth is so far the shortest lived monarch in the UK since at least 1700 at 326 days. Lady Jane Grey was shorter at 9 days in 1553.

Pretty much impossible. The line of succession hits all Charles', William's and Harry's offspring before him.

Didn't British transphobes recently start saying that Sir Terry Pratchett would have agreed with their stance that trans-women are a danger. Which especially galling because Pratchett is loving dead and can't tell them to gently caress off.

I believe they've mostly stopped saying this after being so categorically refuted with various quotes from his, his close friends, and his daughter, and they have margaret atwood fully alive now anyway.

Yeah probably, it just made me so angry qt the time it's still causing flareups. Should have known his daughter would be on that poo poo. She's fantastic.

E- what pissed me off even more where the both sides articles because at the start of his career he'd made some short sighted jokes. Oh we can't say he would have agreed with transactivists because he made a joke or two before he adjusted his views (which if I remember correctly even happened because fans who identify as trans educated him). The dead should be left alone but to both sides this poo poo is disingenuous.

I think it's more that they were progressive but in a very limited way. And society moved on while they stayed where they were. And at some point became obsessed with the idea that the trans agenda is to make butch lesbians think they are men for...reasons no one has really articulated.

TL;DR old middle class white women have no concept of solidarity, probably because they are old, middle class & white.

The grief they give, for example, younger radical feminists who are very much pro trans rights, is a good example that the problem isn't with feminism. Hell, Angela Davies was attacking 2nd wave feminists for being dogshit when it came to black & Hispanic women, their lack of intersectionality is hardly a new observation.

Pretty much this I think, as someone of that age/gender/race. Some of us have learned a bit over the years, but the loudest ones are all high on farts and righteousness and don't give a poo poo about anyone else's oppression.
