The Queen died, and Keith doesn't want anybody creating problems other than the Queen must be honored entirely until she's buried, politics is on hold. I disagree!

Keith is clearing the field so he can tweet out for enforcing this again, preferably against Corbyn

quote:

The Treason Felony Act of 1848 makes it an offence to advocate for the abolition of the monarchy. Such advocation is punishable by up to life imprisonment under the Act. Though still in the statute book, the law is no longer enforced.

Year upon year, only about 20-27% of Britons are in favour of abolishing the monarchy, according to polls. Maintaining a high degree of popularity – or at least indifference – will go down as one of the Queen's successes. This is in spite of figures after Princess Diana's death in 1997 which showed that 70% of Her Majesty's subjects, shocked by her apparent lack of emotion, felt that the sovereign should "retire" to make way for someone younger. "Isn't it time for the Queen to go?" the Daily Mail, no less, asked at the time.

At least around here they don't collect bins on say Easter or Christmas (on the holiday days anyway) either.

The british have got this thing where there's an undercurrent of not quite being able to cope that every so often flares up into fits of mass infantilism and you get poo poo like people going outside their houses to clap for nobody or leaving loving marmalade sandwiches in st james's park

the whole royalism thing in particular is all one big coping mechanism and when it gets disrupted in any way (see also meghan markle) they release their dementia into the air like spores and you've just got to batten down the hatches for a bit
