Car at the gate with Nonce Andrew in the front and Edward in the back. "What do you make of this image" "Conveys a sense of purpose and determination". It's a f'in car with two people going to see their dying mother FFS. Why have I got this bollox on I don't know. Wondering what the BBC equivalent of 3 days of Saudi TV showing nothing but a mass of people circling the Kabba when Sheikh someone or other died.

OwlFancier posted:Genuinely baffling how this whole poo poo is supposed to be very respectful. My thoughts exactly. The idea that you're Disrespecting Are Queen And Country if you don't stay glued to the telly getting second-by-second updates on her last hours, not-at-all-ghoulish talk of what's exactly wrong with her, the facial expressions of her family and the speculation on what will happen to her corpse once she does pop her golden clogs is just bizarre. And yes, this whole thing of having to squeeze content for the 24hr news cycle where they go "Of course you can't read anything into a single photo...[proceeds to analyse everything in pointless speculative detail]" is maddening.

It does basically give her a free pass for the first month or so. Even when Parliament resumes any sort of hard questioning is going to be thrown away or met with "well THE QUEEN DIED so..."

I think he's said he wouldn't be Arthur because it's a bit egotistical. Monarchs also have always reigned under one of their own names, not just one they pick. So he'll be George VII or Philip I.

Oh great a loving fortnight of parliament being held up, the radio being all sombre shite and the telly being unwatchable while this raddled old bastard hokey-cokeys on the threshold of Death's door. Then when she finally slides off into Hell it'll be a further month of loving about, then straight into Poppy Mania. Really if she was the great civic-minded public servant she's always been portrayed as we'd be watching her Ättestupa right now.

One of my least favourite kinds of TV is those shows where they put together a bunch of clips from the past and then get some B list celebrities to reminisce over them. I'm willing to bet there's a backlog of royalist trash in that vein just waiting to come out.

My missus just texted me "co worker who is a former publicist heard through her channels she went half an hour ago". Waiting for 6pm So I thought I'd share this Ricey&Cheeks-tier info for everyone's edification. I'm also hearing conflicting reports that Liz had a fall, is stuck in her washing machine.
