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

An "absolute ledge" according to Ursula von der Leyen:

"My thoughts and prayers are with her. She represents the whole history of the Europe that is our common home with our British friends, she has always given us stability and confidence, she has shown an immense amount of courage, and is a legend in my eyes."

Looking forward to Biden reminiscing about watching coverage of her crowning when he was in 5th grade.

German melts are just as annoying as the Brit ones, and they probably had cousins and uncles that served in the SS as well. It's official now!!! :p

aw

Righto.

"She came round our house once"

So very sad. https://t.co/H9LqjLvLut

lol oops I just meant to post the original tweet, not the commentary.

huh? Charles becomes instant King without any ceremonial bs. I didn't realise it happened that fast. Anyway the ice cream van is outside, need to find me some dead monarchs to spend on a 99 with flake, lol!

I think I probably said this here before but apparently my dad originally chatted up my mother with the joke "what's the Queen's favourite record? 'Magic Moments' on Phillips twelve inch". Anyway I'm thankful that God has now re-united them and they can get at it again in the merry fires of eternal hell.

Does Limmy dare bring the old bit out of retirement

Queen Consort, what a title

It was only a 10“

Xpost

there's two bits, the next cunt in line is instantly the wounded king but then you have to make it official with a celebrity special

God save the King
And his paedophile ring
etc

lots of coins with her profile on them, they're all worth hella money now

Just had radio 1 on in the car running an errand and caught the announcement then airing of God Save The Queen (non sex pistols version). All very ott, now broadcasting BBC news.

I hope I've weeded Twitter thoroughly enough to avoid the outpouring of piety coming my way.

fucking hell man. I had a f/c doubles bet at Monmore Green tonight, my selection for the first race was a winner and I was buzzing. And now the cunts have abandoned the rest of the meeting out of respect for QEII. Fucking joke country.

lol, my entire feed is "fuck her and her colonialist legacy". It's a party over there.

xp

CNN reporter asks British woman about Queen Elizabeth, who says she's not "the biggest fan of the queen" so she's not "upset or overwhelmed by it."

She adds it's because of "British colonial history" and "quite shady" things like Prince Andrew.

"Fair enough," reporter reacts. pic.twitter.com/M9FUQeBpiG

oh well at least the race meeting at Limerick is still going ahead, lololol!

lol, my entire feed is "fuck her and her colonialist legacy". It's a party over there.

high five comrades everywhere

.. which is as good as she'd get, fair play CNN reporter

Xpost we here am I?

Congratulations to Margaret II of Denmark, the last reigning queen in the world.

And Lord of the Rings illustrator, so clearly top notch.

The bar I am in is playing "Born in the USA" in tribute.

Oh wait it's "Rock the Casbah"

Looking forward to Biden reminiscing about watching coverage of her crowning when he was in 5th grade.

was this Anne's birth?

I'm off to the Steve Hoffman board.

They know how to ignore etc

was this Anne's birth?

Please! That's the royal vadge you're talking about.

Or do they call it the Royal Canal?

the queen mother's favorite cocktail: gin and Dubonnet: 30% gin, 70% Dubonnet

I made one awhile back (more like 50/50) and it's not bad, not bad at all

I'm not going anywhere, of course not!

presumably Nicholas Witchell will now be ceremoniously culled

so, do we get another bank holiday?

(am watching more4 about half an hour behind live and the banner has just popped up and is still there 10 minutes later. didn't show it during the adverts though)

we're looking into it

I'll never forget where I was when the Queen died. At my desk, looking back and forth between a message board and a spreadsheet.

So Chas is going for King Charles III after all, bit of a mixed track record for King Charles's tbf.

is he?

I remember when she visited my town in 1990 and the council paid for a major paint job over the dilapidated flats by the Sports Centre she was visiting. Never mind there were damp problems and some of the flats were in terrible condition. Just make some cosmetic improvements for the fcking Queen.

bet it looked nice tho

there's a very old joke about her thinking the world smells like fresh paint

I thought that was Billy Connolly one.

it's official guys

Had the pleasure of meeting the Queen at a charity do once. She was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Haha yep he did

Great week for transfers of power: new PM chosen by 100,000 80-somethings, new HoS chosen by one 90-something

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.
