He spoke in dialect, I could not understand...

Happy day to all of you Brits.

We are extremely saddened to hear of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with all the Royal Family at this deeply sad time.

You guys Andrew is shook

I'm trying to write a column and I find myself in tears. I fear that everything she exemplified - restraint, duty, grace, reticence, persistence - are disappearing from the world.

timing is a nice additional little twist of the knife into Boris, come to think of it.

Yes, hanging on long enough to deny Boris the chance to do his pound shop Churchill routine is maybe her greatest achievement.

i;m thinking about thos queens

twitter post of the day by a country mile

Ok that's weird

I've transferred my winnings from the abandoned Monmore Green racing card to the Limerick one and it seems out of respect for the late Queen, Bet365 are not streaming any live greyhound racing from Ireland...lol

The introductory stages of the evening, held at the London Eventim Apollo, were already under way when news of the monarch’s death broke.

An announcement shown to guests in the room said: “In light of the sad news of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, we are sorry to announce that we will not be proceeding with this evening’s event as planned. The Mercury prize will be communicating with guests and audience members over the coming days. We thank you for your understanding at this difficult and sad time.”

It said dinner would not be served, and asked guests to finish their drinks and leave the venue by 7.30pm.

The electronic screens outside the venue showed a black-and-white photograph of the Queen.

@lag♾️n

Lol this is amazing.

My thoughts are with the Queen’s family as they come to terms with their personal loss, as well as those here and around the world who will mourn her death.

I enjoyed discussing our families, gardens and jam-making with her.

May she rest in peace.

I won an e-bay auction for a 2nd hand Dyson vac and I swear for a second I was concerned they were going to suspend all e-bay auctions out of respect.

I'm doing the most British thing I could think of in tribute and listening to a Status Quo album.

xpost Come to California, 2nd hand Dysons literally line the streets

I prefer e-bay auctions, you don't get shot when you win

fair enough

ffs they've cancelled all the UK racing meetings tomorrow just while I was about to do my 10p ew L15, thank god for Irish racing. All the big UK organisations have totally shit out from the fear of being SHAMED for doing anything while the royal cadaver has only just been put on freeze. The truth is she wouldn't have approved, most definitely not.

Bastardi is a fucking tool. it's astonishing that anyone takes him seriously.

Can't believe they are going to make a MAN queen. This woke nonsense has gone too far.

— Nat Guest (@unfortunatalie) September 8, 2022

Omg did I ever laugh hard at that one. Hoooly shit

"The Brazilian president, Jair Bolsanaro, said the country would be holding three days of official mourning in honour of the Queen.

He described the monarch as not just the Queen of England but a “Queen to all of us”, adding that she was an “extraordinary and unique woman, whose example of leadership, humility and love for (her) homeland will continue to inspire us and the whole world until the end of time”"

wtf is Bastani doing

So bullshit aside: was she as smart a her defenders say? I keep reading accounts that she Read Documents and was able to hold her own against less prepared PMs.

"bullshit aside" are you for fucking real ? lol, just listen to MacMillan and Schama on the BBC from earlier and you might find someone with an equally pompous and full of shite world view as yourself.

Wha
