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

Prince William gets the Duchy of Cornwall, meaning;

- he’s legally entitled to drop a nuclear bomb on Cornwall

- he’s entitled to any dead whales or shipwrecks

- his Duchy gets your estate if you die alone in Cornwall without a will (see below)https://t.co/hTClqB972C

LOL don’t know what they did in Ireland apart from Methodism, but my great great grandfather was definitely a farmer after emigrating to Canada, and all his sons became doctors.

The State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday 19th September.

Prior to the State Funeral, The Queen will Lie-in-State in Westminster Hall for four days, to allow the public to pay their respects.

american revolution is a weird one cause it was the local aristocracy revolting against the home office, same people were basically in charge before and after, its often held up as one that went relatively smoothly no extended civil war guillotine etc period but thats just cause there was more continuity than is typical, and of course there was eventually a civil war fought over the big issue they decided to punt on when devising their government

This is Hannah Arendt's argument: Americans didn't suffer from empty bellies like the French.

Also they weren't surrounded on all sides by armies pledged to destroy the revolution.

As one era ends, so another begins.

Not sure who I feel sorrier for. Maybe they’ll bond over cheese.

Number 10 confirm that Liz Truss will be accompanying the King as he leads the national mourning across the UK next week. Scotland on Monday afternoon, Northern Ireland on Tuesday and Wales Friday.

xp tbfttl he’s a member of the British aristocracy, their teeth kind of just do that

a deeply ugly man indeed

thread for KING CHARLES III (regnal name george vii)

so we can get back to the thread's true topic (the queen never dying)

Also they weren't surrounded on all sides by armies pledged to destroy the revolution.

yeah the thing the popular understanding of the terror misses is the context of war, not trying to defend the terror btw! but the idea that all of the head chopping was executing political adversaries in paris when a lot of it was more we are going drown these guys we caught conspiring with the austrian somewhere out on the front

the austrian is one austrian they really hated

sky news has now issued a clarification after an earlier report wrongly described the Chris Kaba march as a tribute walk to the Queen.

such a grave insult to friends & family CK and people attending the march

It’s really scummy. This whole thing you’re getting the worst people in the country trying to pretend the Queen living through the era of decolonisation was due to her, and meanwhile the Met did this and it’s getting barely any coverage.

Okay folks buckle the fuck up because I have some more news about Liz Truss’ possible d/s relationship and her use of the day collar and I have to say I’m a true believer. Credit to @enemyofentropy for the following screenshots and @AliceAvizandum for inspiring them.

for those not familiar with Grogan’s while I do like it it’s not exactly how I’d describe it. More of a hangout for artists who are fond of their pints and city centre shoppers who need to rest their feet. Not a starry ploughing to be seen

I just left a hipster pub, it was packed with Irish republicans, whispering amongst each other about what a commendable job Queen Elizabeth did

then everybody stood and applauded

she knew about teal & orange

"Grief is the price we pay for love," Queen Elizabeth II said in support of those who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

As we remember the victims of that horrific day, we are also reminded of the late Queen’s ability to speak for us all in moments of tragedy.

— Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) September 11, 2022

hang on what kind of deranged thing is that to say people who lost loved ones and what a bleak worldview it hints at

Kieth is such a predictable hack. All political leaders do this tiresome bs, but he's so very bad at it as seen with him and Lammy's Berlin Holocaust Memorial debacle a couple of months back.

for one thing he can't stop himself, it's insane how many tweets he's done over the last 48 hours, like he's worried somebody's counting? or he's legit sat at the computer onto his 3rd bottle of Whyte & Mackay, churning them out in between crying jags and listening to "Song for Guy" on a loop

I think her hanging on till after the last Old Firm game was a wise move by the old girl.

"Lizzie's in a Box!"

is this a play on the 1987 single Living in a Box by the band Living in a Box?

it’s sung to the tune of “give it up” by kc and the sunshine band. not kidding

funny seeing Andrew Flood appear on here I was on a pirate radio station with his housemate in the mid 90s.

KC and the sunshine band's very moniker seems prescient eh what
