like the queen this thread will never die: in which we ALL resign (ourselves to disgusting miseries to post-boris politics 2022)

watching last night's Grand Designs and ch4 is trailing a new fantasy-politics show with a screen that says:

"THE MONARCHY IS ABOLSIHED AT SUNSET"

Pretty sure Liz T slipped her something on Tuesday tbh

In this clip from 1994, Leeds student Liz Truss tells ITV News the idea of the monarchy is 'disgraceful'.

2 of the words on todays countdown : queen, and cremate

May God forgive Harry and Meghan for causing the Queen so much pain, for I never shall.

If there's a campaign to bring the Sex Pistols, or the Smiths, or, heck, Queen to number one, will that be stymied?

Louise has decided to get in there first.

There's the makings of a conspiracy theory there.

Can I get a clip.

Nicholas Witchell currently speculating that the Queen has had cancer, that she had a fall last year, that she has gout, that she recently had a cannula in her hand - feels grossly intrusive to discuss someone's health like this

xp fuck off, Petsy

nobody will campaign for the Smiths because their singer is a racist cunt

Nicholas Witchell has just said, with a STRAIGHT FACE, about the Queen's corgis:

"They know nothing of her status."

i thought the corgis being dead and gone was ilx canon

how is that a lie xpost

Do you guys get to elect a new Queen?

not since Freddie died no

The Smiths to thread?

Oh, sorry, of course that’s already been done.

permaban mark s if the queen dies imo

👍🏽

death by cop

sex pistols singer also a racist cunt tbh xps

why won't they tell us what's going on? I bet she's pregnant

I haven’t been paying attention, but does Diana get to be Queen next?

Graham Potter iirc

probably right Left, i have nuff grudges against Lydon and maybe forgot the lame-o "challenging" racism

tbf he was anti-NF and probably seemed fairly right on at the time and the song is still relevant but he lost it long ago if he ever had it

he's absolutely one of those people who cares more about people think of him the more he protests he doesn't, and has increasingly lamed out as a consequence of responding to that. but no excuses for dumb bigotry, ever

oi guv the old bird pissed it. I will miss her . Fuck

instant classic

wint is Belgian ffs

It's better than this.

Whatever your politics or beliefs, one certainty in British life for decades has been the beneficent existence of the Queen. Most of us have never known any other reality. That is why you feel the news in your gut because she stands for something so much more than herself.

No need, we've got some 73 year old duffer ready and willing to take over

it's gerontocrats all the way down

King Chuck

At this rate Wills will be 63 years old and as bald and weird as his dad when he takes over.

Scratch that, he already is as bald.

A *very* well connected FB friend, hitherto not prone to rumour mongering, has already heard from “reliable sources” that EIIR is RIP.

lol Crombone

im going with a rasputin theory: they announced it deniably but can't finish her, she's scuttling round the palace with a dozen speedballs in her as the rifles crack, lassoos at the ready and the palace swimming pool full of ice

charles plans to rule as george iirc, if he survives her that is (still time)

i feel my George rising already

I have zero affection for or attachment to the queen, but the idea of "England has a queen" has been so much a part of my knowledge of the world that "England has a king" sounds kind of funny. Like, a king seems way more antiquated as a concept somehow. I realize this is solely a subjective experience thing.
