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

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

I've seen more tweets about how great Irish twitter is than actual great Irish tweets. Some of them are just coasting along on reputation. Where's the hunger and desire to truly cause offence? pic.twitter.com/r1NSJH7JLb

Due to today’s news about the passing of Queen Elizabeth, the decision has been made to postpone this weekend’s planned Festival of Resistance in London until further notice.

"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.

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

HMMLO not even worth it

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

Not even Meath is safe

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

think monday's when big-forehead brendan's column generally drops, kudos* if the spiked contrarians go the way their shtick demands

*no kudos obv, fuck em whatever they write

I'm sure they'll be hard at work tonight trying to work out which opinions troll the maximum number of people.

xxxxp the same one who was DJing the ARC post-referendum party?

bbc2 evening schedule seems as previously advertised with the exception of removing the 2nd part of the stewart lee gig they showed last week. why?

sorry that was meant for BBC thread

Stewart Lee is an authorized court jester sito

I really can't be arsed with him anymore, this is what politics has done to me! Anyway fuck him I'm watching L'Avventura tonight and avoiding all UK public broadcasting for the foreseeable future.

Ha didn't see that the Stewart Lee was on til the next morning. Kicked myself for not seeing it listed and got it from another source.
So they only showed half of it? Does that add to the surrealism.
Watched it tonight anyway.

Or is 2nd part of the Stewart Lee thing being refered to actually a repeat of the same show? I think there is only one show called Snowflake and it's 59 minutes long. Very weird to only show half of it the day after breaking news. & would think news breaking wasn't that immediate they'd break into a show if it was that fresh anyway.

It’s a TV version of his recent touring show, which was in two halves: Snowflake / Tornado. They’ve shown Snowflake but Tornado has been postponed (to this coming Friday by the looks).

ok, what I saw listed in the Guardian for last Friday was Snowflake so i assumed i missed a repeat. Or was that a separate showing

tornado was sunday night, or should've been

Is Stewart Lee good?

May be an acquired taste.

People over there wouldn't like him. While the people over tehre think he's teh bees knees.

Do wonder how it would be to go into one of his performances totally fresh as in without prior experience of him. But don't have access to that perspective cos have been watching him for a couple of decades. So not being totally driven up the wall by his experiments with audience tolerance.

But in general question just reminds me of philosophical proposition.
Or a Moebius comic called is Man Good?

You might like much of what he says I but suspect you would be put off by his peevish, hectoring tone.

xpost

Think he's fallen off since Comedy Vehicle made him universally lauded and as such he stopped being able to do the disgruntled outsider bit.

Queen already off all the bus station signs and so on, nature is healing.

I think Lee is fantastic but I recognise that this qualifies me as basic and middlebrow. I like that he is trying to incorporate the things he sees / likes from free improv (improv music rather than improv comedy) (haha if there’s a difference) into stand-up. Plus the whole alienation thing.
