I bet she's not even in that loving coffin. This whole thing is just a pantomime for Scottish integration. I saw that they're flying it from Edinburgh to London or something next. Why not drag the corpse from English city to city for the next few days? Edit: are all those morons on the Royal Mile just going yuk go home now after waiting hours for a car to go past them? Good thing this didn't happen during the Fringe. Also, maybe I'm too cynical but it feels like the majority of people there are just there to film [historical moment] than actually giving a poo poo. It's not like you'd start filming your grannies funeral would you. Kin fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Sep 11, 2022 |

I assumed it was going to motorcade all the way back to London. Very disappointed to hear that it's not being sent to all corners of the island like William Wallaces limbs.

Is there a permanent at-ready network of reginal receivers like a soggy DEW line across the fens, backed up by a continuous 24 hour airborne AWACs system doing laps of the coastline/A148/A1065/A1066/A143, electronic eyes and human operators watching, waiting... Poised for the telltale flare of emissions across that narrow frequency band indicating the high velocity passage of royalty through the lower atmosphere. Or is it something even more sinister... Do we need answers? Can we handle the truth?

Even if you like liberal managerialism I think it's very hard to point at blair, brown, and starmer and actually come away with any accomplishment worth a drat compared to the entire history of PMs to choose from. Unless you're a big war fan I guess.

lmao at all the monarchists complaining the republicans are disrespectful. Like yes, that's the point, that monarchy does not deserve respect, that you should not go about putting on airs and graces for some "king" who reckons he's better than everyone else cos of who his family is or because he was "appointed by god" or whatever. Also "you shouldn't have come if you don't like it" when they've got some oiks shooting cannons and yelling in the middle of one of the largest cities in the country, they probably loving live there, you weirdos are the ones who traveled.

I dunno how many of you are familiar with utility theory in economics, but it struck me today that the death of a monarch will have greater national utility than their life. This is purely down to the day off that most people in the UK are likely to get when they die. That's like 60 odd million folk so, 60 odd million days or 164 thousand years of utility. I'm sure they make some people happy with their events and occasional charity involvement/Christmas speech and you have the superfans that probably praise their existence every day, but I'm not sure if it would balance it out.

You are wildly overestimating how many people work jobs that guarantee them a bank holiday off. Pretty much all of the shops stay open, pretty much any function of a business that is customer facing stays open, and it goes on.
