There was always going to be a lot of empire fetishism flaring up when the queen died, but I really didn't expect such a self-humiliating display as has been going on in the media. The embarassment is total. I don't think there's much hope for the UK except for it to wither, possibly rupture, and reformulate as something else in pieces down the line, and it absolutely deserves to, if this is the response to such a vestigial event after the decade the place has had. There's no future in this country, and it's completely by choice.

They took down the ultranationalistic jingo flags from the Jubilee along the Strand as soon as the oval office died though, out of respect I guess even though this is just flagfucking a corpse in reality.

SO probably the correct place to ask:

My understanding is that the way the UK government interacts with the monarchy is that they pretend the monarch isn't involved, except they are, often, but not expected to actually disagree with anything.

Is that correct?

Arsenic Lupin: Apr 12, 2012; This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.

The official page on How To Mourn includes this gem:

quote:

Opening your own Book of Condolence

Any organisation or person may open a book of condolence during the period of National Mourning.

There is no set format for a book of condolence. The layout of the table is usually a trestle table on which the book is placed with a white tablecloth, an arrangement of flowers (usually lilies or other white flowers) and a framed formal photograph of Her Majesty. This could be an official portrait photograph, or one taken at a previous Royal visit. As a mark of respect, a black ribbon could be wrapped around the top right hand corner.

Please note the Royal Household and the government will not be able to receive books of condolence.

Please follow this elaborate procedure to leave condolences. Will anybody actually spend thirty seconds to accept the condolences? gently caress off, peasant.

Yeah basically. AIUI the monarch has power to reject any of the actions of Parliament etc. and they have to appoint the new PM etc. but if they actually exercised that power to overrule anything there'd be massive outrage.

Though the Queen and Charles have privately lobbied for politicians to change laws/not to change laws to benefit themselves, e.g. around tax rules etc. and there hasn't been uproar about that because we are a supremely cucked nation.

I feel like this post isn't quite connecting the dots enough. The very fact that exercising that power would cause a ruckus means Parliament is also strongly encouraged to not do anything that would make the monarch exercise it, basically legislative self-censorship.

Also the monarch is present during all political debate in the form of a big gold stick that sits in the middle. Except once a little ginger lad MP tried to nick it but an old granny MP frowned at him so he put the queen stick back. Then I think we left Europe, which we couldn't whilst he had the stick.

In principle while the monarch is Sovereign their power is wielded on their behalf by His Majesty's Government, who deal with day to day affairs and all that the Sovereign is required to do is sign off on legislation passed to them while they deal with all the important stuff.

In practise they have the right to revise legislation and provide their own amendments to bills as necessary, something Departed Liz used to hide her fortune and lower her taxes at points during her reign. Never been used to directly change political directions so will be excited to see if King Bigears I tries vetoing climate disaster legislation.

There's almost certainly a penmaker laureate who'd be up in arms if the king was seen using a common biro. Also after that video, said penmaker is probably frantically trying to find an entire factory of northerners to fire to avoid having to commit rutual suicide.

The PM is a former Shell employee and reportedly her biggest donor is BP. And yes the energy secretary has millions invested in oil and gas and has said that we should tap every last bit of gas from our coastal fields.
