The Queen's death is both objectively and subjectively funny. PM not required.

I am really looking forward to the feeling of smug derision and superiority I will have for the professional grief athletes who clog up London, weeping and laying down flowers for someone who couldn’t have given the slightest gently caress about them, while I drink bottle after bottle of champagne to toast the inevitable demise of the monarchy

This “where is the money coming from” line of argument from Labour is so dumb. Money is an elaborate fiction based on government assigning value to work done, Labour should be attacking the fact that the idea is incredibly bad and that we are incentivising energy companies to continue shafting the people, when we should be loving nationalising them.

But nationalising public services would be a proper Labour policy, so of course they won’t say that.

they're trying to paint Truss as a hypocrite. This is a bad idea, because fascists are inherently hypocritical. Neoliberalism is atrocious at antifascism.

It also relies on them having enough of a sense of shame to worry about being called a hypocrite. If the last few years has taught us anything, it’s that Tories have no shame

Never really got back into broadcast TV, and just don't get the saturation of big media events in the same way that I used to (unless I'm the one who can't stop, like the first 48 hours or so of the Ukraine sitch).

Don't know where I'm going with this.

I know what you mean: when I was a kid, it was just habit to turn the TV on and leave it running for the whole night until everyone went to bed. Since moving out, going to university and not having a working TV aerial, that habit got kicked out of me, so now I literally never watch scheduled television. It’s great.

I’m going to the Roald Dahl museum this weekend. Apparently, the extra stuff they had planned for Roald Dahl Story Day (13th of September) is too disrespectful, but all the other live stuff they do is fine? Maybe they’ll block the bit of the museum where the Queen has the BFG round for breakfast…

Please wait patiently for the queue to resume. Perhaps in some sort of orderly structure.

How do you close a queue? Are they going to have police at the end of the queue, telling people to gently caress off? What do they plan on doing if people ignore them? Can you be arrested for standing on a street in London? So many queuestions

Yeah mine too. I'm kinda thinking of rehoming my cats, it's not fair to them if I have them live in a cold house this winter. That would be a last resort though. They'll probably just rehome themselves anyway they know the neighbours better than I do.

I used to live in a tenement flat in Edinburgh, which we were too poor to heat, and my two cats were absolutely fine over winter, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

When you say "too poor to heat", just to be clear I assume you mean "keeping temperature way down" rather than "turning everything off".

No, we literally did not have heat or hot water, that was money we had to spend on food. The cats were fine, we spent a lot of time under duvets.

I wouldn’t recommend it, it wasn’t much fun, but it is doable, the four of us survived.

Absolutely loaded and protected by the resources of an entire country, literally impossible for them to come to any sort of harm and no expense will be spared to keep them in a state of utter idyll, any loving poor bastard who works a normal job and has to live with the threat of starving to death if they don't keep at it, their families and kids maybe too, ten thousand times more admirable than any one of these loving rich cunts.

Christ I wish I could snap my fingers and rot everyone one of them from the inside.

That’s literally why they make huge pains to call her queen consort instead of queen, there is a whole system in place so that no-one ever outranks the eternal godqueen emperor
