    Yeah but still one more week of govt not sitting and fuck all being done about the looming recession, energy crisis,  pound at 37yr low, worst inflation in G7, - back to being  the sick man of Europe...

    ...but y'know, "most watched TV event ever" *waves flag* 

    Unfortunately, Queens death or not none of the those things will have an optimistic outcome as long as there’s a Tory government in charge.

    You and I both know this.

    As an Australian I can confirm the Queen was hugely popular in Australia. Even amongst republicans she was well liked and respected.

    I’d always been given that impression.

    Regardless of who likes her, loves her, hates her or dislikes her, tomorrow’s funeral is set to be the most watched TV event in history with 4.1 billion people watching the state funeral.

    In the lead up to the meeting, Madonna was nervously practicing her curtsy with comedian John Cleese, but when the Queen had to whisper in the ear of an adviser to find out who exactly Madonna was, the popstar actually took it very well.

    According to the Sun, when Madonna explained she was the singer of the theme song the monarch sounded surprised, asking: "Oh really, did you?"

     

    Fortunately Cleese received the same treatment, her majesty asking: "And what do you do?"

    All of this awkwardness left Madonna giddy and once the Queen had moved on she broke out into fits of giggles, turning to her co-stars to laugh at the awkward interactions.

     

    You'd have to assume the Queen isn't much of a fan!

    Madonna herself though sent The Queen an invitation to all her tours when she brought them here to the U.K.

    The palace always of course turned the invitations down.

    And now Harry & Meghan are upset because their children will not get HRH titles.

    Bitch, you should foresee this the moment you decided to leave the royal family, relieve from any royal duties and live like a commoner.

    I feel bemused after watching the Oprah interview where they both said the royal life traumatised them and they had to get out and further more criticised royal life.

    Yet they both use a royal title bestowed on them for professional purposes.

    Wouldnt you just give up the titles given to them as part parcel of the royal family and its workings that they have escaped from.

    I think it’s a little bit of having your cake and eating it.

    This impressed me a lot. 
     

    No matter if Harry and Meghan be part of whatever circus nowadays, truth is that this woman suffered psychologically to the point of thinking of suicide and this man had already suffered the loss of his mother just when she was in a relationship with a non white man. His words against his father, who is the king nowadays, just shows how dysfunctional that Queen and the husband were and how dysfunctional Charles is.

    I respect him a lot for what he has gone through.

    Sometimes I think if he does feel like the press and the cameras really traumatise him, perhaps he would of been better mentally stepping out of the spotlight when he chose to leave the royal family. But I appreciate him and Megan with Netflix and the podcasts want to retain a public position I just hope he can cope with it all.

    Monarchies are elitists and privileged white classists. How anybody could support them is beyond me. 

    They are indeed. But I do think today’s generation are different they happen to be born into these positions which I agree is wrong, but that’s where they come from and where they were born they don’t choose it.

    That’s not to excuse the fact that nobody is born better, because nobody is.

    The pedophile?????????? 
     

    oh dear….

    He hasn’t appointed anybody the roles remain from when the Queen was alive. 
    The Queen was his mother Charles is his brother and I suspect (might be wrong) but he will want him well away from the workings of anything royal following next weeks funeral.

    *rises from the crypt*

    There’s a difference between the Welsh and the Welsh Welsh i.e Welsh language speakers (like me!) from pockets of Wales deeply connected to Welsh culture and we’re certainly not pro-monarchy or enamoured by the notion of having an English Prince / Princess of Wales. I mean, we used to put stamps on upside down and burn holiday cottages 😭

    Interesting insider info ! Thank you for that.

    Diolch.

    You said she was hugely popular in a previous post and I asked you where this hugely popular comes from - she might be respected by some, but to say she is internationally popular seems a little extreme to me. 

    In April 2022, a poll in Canada indicated that 51% of canadians wanted to cut ties with monarchy. Analysts say there would be way more people who would agree if we had not to reopen our constitution. That's a Pandora's box. Same in Australia.

    That Queen might be hugely popular in your heart, as a british citizen, but clearly that's not how the rest of the World saw her.  

    I can’t remember putting hugely popular I’ve said in all of my posts there are people that don’t want the monarchy but there’s more of a positive affection here in Britain which keeps them where they are than an un affection.

    I don’t doubt there’s feelings in other countries that don’t want a British head of state being there’s it is an odd thing I’m sure for some of those people but the monarchy still has support.

    The fact that so many countries now are paying respects to the Queen is testimony to her legacy. There will be people in equal measure I’m sure that don’t like her or are in different but from what I have seen, what I believe, and what I have learned she is more popular than un popular.

    Thats the way I see it.

    You think LEADERS are commanding a referendum that people are not interested about ? That's what you say ? You think that's how politic works ?

    I never said that.

    Fact remains there was a referendum and the monarchy stayed. So that dictates more Australians supported it than were against it. 
    I never said hugely popular but that’s more popular than unpopular.

  11. 1 minute ago, runa said:

    Yeah, but if you knew what you're talking about, you would also knew why they did. 

    And btw, just the fact there were a referendum about that question, it says a lot about her "huge popularity", isn't it ? :lmao:

     

    I was just commenting on an actual referendum that took place and asked the people NOT leaders of countries that want to leave the commonwealth. 

  12. 1 minute ago, runa said:

    Yeah, but if you knew what you're talking about, you would also knew why they did. 

    So it wasn’t because they wanted the Queen to remain as their head of state?

    Because that was the question the Australian people were asked at the ballot box? What’s the real story then ?

    There's a big difference in "people know her" / "her image wasn't bad" and hugely popular.

    If she was that popular, countries from the Commonwealth would not ask to leave that monarchy. Barbados, Canada, Australia, Scotland... name it. They all want to leave. 
    Not what I would call hugely popular.

    THAT is common sense. 

    Australia held a referendum 20 years ago and choose to keep them in.

    You're a very...literal.. person aren't you?

    Loathe them? I don't give them the time of day normally, but seeing as there's no escaping it at the moment...

    The day I spend my afternoon defending them though, is the day I should pop down and join the other mental defectives lining up to cry in front of Liz's carcass!

     

    I am more literal than anything else to be fair. 
     

    🤣🤣 Love that !

    It's a sign of how he (and the rest of them) have no idea of what constitutes appropriate behaviour. One removes one's hand from the small of the back before bending down and then one's hand will not caress the rump of one's daughter. Get it?

    Peppering all your response with "I'm not really but..." doesn't make you look any less a bootlicking cap-doffer pal. Up off your knees!

    Looking at the footage, he crouched down as he was hugging her she was very upset. As he moved down his arm was still very much around her he should of removed it before he crouched down. 
    I don’t think he put any thought into it like that.

    It’s just press fodder bigging it up the same way they are making out nasty cow Megan refused to let an aide help her lay flowers. When it reality she thanked the aide and promised a well wisher she would lay them for her.

    Andrew is obviously at fault and I feel for Virginia and any other woman that’s ever been intimidated by him. He revealed his guilt by paying her off so I don’t come at it as a fan of his. But my opinion is as I see it un-subjectively which is difficult for some because of his reputation now, which I understand. 
     

    But nevertheless I don’t believe he was feeling up his daughter it was an embrace. End of. 
     

    If you see me as bootlicking cap-doffer that’s upto you, I’m just saying it as I see it. You obviously loath the monarchy and some of the people we are discussing, so your opinions are somewhat tainted I don’t hate/love them. I see the benefits of monarchy and I see the pitfalls.

    Oh boo hoo.

    Did you see Andy feeling his daughter's arse while looking at the flowers? Shower of mutants.

     

     

    boo hoo indeed. 
     

    I did see I don’t think for a second he was feeling his daughters arse though. He crouched down it looks odd.
     

    I’m NOT defending him because I feel anything positive about him, his actions have been terrible and he shameful but I don’t believe he was feeling her arse because he wanted to feel her arse. It was an embrace and he crouched down.

    It may well be inappropriate but FREEDOM OF SPEECH trumps your feelings I'm afraid.

    You are spot on. Freedom of speech is important. 

    But time and places that’s how I see it.
    Someone’s death procession/funeral where family members are mourning and people have gathered to mark their respects is not the place to start hurling abuse.

    It’s called decency id say the same about a family funeral or anyone paying respects in that kind of setting.

    Allowing something to be done under your auspices - ie. putting your name on it - doesn't strike me as particularly great...

    He has had direct involvement within it keeping contact with many of the mentors and participants since it’s creation. And the trust has changed lives I’ve seen it first hand. 
    Yes I agree it’s the strength of the people who run it but it was his idea and because of him it got started and has become as big as it has and helped as many as it has.

    Doesn’t make him particularly great but it is a great achievement nevertheless.
