Letters is right, there is nothing to compare this too. The longest serving monarch who has reigned for pretty much the vast majority of hte UK population lives. Not only has she been QUeen but she was working almost until the day she died. It’s only really been the past year or so that she has had to stop doing public engagements. 95 years old and still doing hundreds of engagements, how many others at that age would be doing the same?
Royal visits mean a huge amount to people especially local charities etc and none more so then when the QUeen turns up. In her 70 year reign, just think how many people she would have visited both here & in teh world who would be appreciative and remember her visit for the rest of their lives? If they want to mourn, let them.
Sure i accept that hte 24 hours news coverage of this and other things happening like supermarkets turning bleeps off as mark of respect or the fiasco with centre parks is over the top but this is nothing like North Korea. This is mostly a natural grieving process for many. In North Korea they are forced to all cry loudly etc whereas here, you ahve a choice to attend any of the events. Those in the 5 mile queue are there out of choice. Those who lined the roads in Scotland as her coffin was driven from balmoral to Edinburgh where there out of choice.
Most of hte time, when her coffin has passed the crowds, there has been dignified silence, some applause and yes some people are in tears but its not wailing loudly or screaming on the ground. Yes as with anything, there will be one or two doing silly things but that has largely not been the case here.
I highly doubt there will be the same for Charles when he dies, he wont have the same legacy as the Queen although of course the military aspect will remain the same. This really is a once in a lifetime occurrence.
Exactly what I thought.Originally Posted by Letters

Fuckin hilarious watching the bootlickers scrambling for justifications here, man.
Natural grieving process
Wall to wall coverage, treated like a pariah if you don't conform. Dignified silence because anyone dissenting is arrested for commiting absolutely no crime.
england is not LIKE North Korea. It IS North Korea.
It's an absolute laughing stock and it's fuckin beautiful to see the utter disbelief the rest of the world is looking on with.
Ask the charities that have visits from not just the Queen but the rest of the royal family., those that have royal patrons say it greatly helps them with fundraising etc. having the royal contacts to give them publicity means they can achieve more.
Ask the military what serving the Queen meant to them and let us know how you get on with calling her “ foul, wretched cunt”. I suspect not well.
There is also the diplomatic power to assist the government that having a state visit means to other countries. Offering those helped the governemnt of the day smooth things over or secure deals etc.
Why not literally sell the crown jewels and give the money away?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
You really aren’t. Have you been arrested or shunned for not watching the news or going to any of the processions? No you haven’t.Done a few appearences for charities

Yes i agree the police at times appear heavy handed with some of the handling of the protestors. It’s completely valid to protest however I suspect in most cases, they are being moved elsewhere to keep the peace. If you go and protest in a place where you protest could escalate a situation, its not surprising the police will try and minimise the risk.
There is no point engaging with you when you’re in full troll mode.
Ok sure do that. It’s a one off payment and once spent its gone but sure get rid of them.
On the rest of it though, if you get rid of the royal family, you will still have a head of state in some form. Most likely a prime minster too. They will still require state accomdantion travel expenses and they will still cost millions a year. Yes different style but doesn’t instantly save money either
Plenty of charities thrive without the self aggrandizing narcissism of a monarch visiting a food bank before returning to their hundreds of billions of pounds given to them because they're superior to you in the eyes of their fictional God.
The military...naw even sure what your point is here. Are you seriously suggesting people sign up to the military to serve the queen? As fuckin hilarious as that'd be I think it's more a testimony to the stupidity of the typical recruit and how easily indoctrinated they are into bootlicking by equally servile vermin.
Diplomatic powermost countries seem to do just fine without such archaic nonsense...in fact, normal countries think it's fuckin ridiculous. Rightly so.
england is North Korea.
