British Pomp

[K23]

I’m not knocking anyone who wants to do it, it’s their choice and good luck to them, but I absolutely fail to understand the thought processes of those who are willing to queue for 20+ hours to walk past the closed coffin of someone the vast majority of them have never met. And at about 15 feet distance too it seems. Each to their own. And now the BBC is live streaming, presumably for the next five days, continuous footage of said people walking past said closed coffin. For your televisual entertainment. Get the series link set folks you don’t wanna miss a moment.

I’ll be honest, it’s all starting to feel a bit North Korean.

Sky news was interviewing a woman yesterday, when the coffin was on display in Edinburgh she went around in the queue 7 times taking 16 hours to do so.

Someone's for the high jump then when they find out who was supposed to be on ward duty but let her sneak out when they weren't looking.

This whole thing is a great show, an extravagant show. And that's all it is.

My opinion is that there is no place for it in todays modern society, it belongs in the 1600's. And that's coming from someone who has been at more than a dozen Trooping of the Colours in my childhood. I have a photo of the queen on my mantlepiece, presenting a significant award to my grandfather. Next year would be a good time for a referendum on the abolishing of the Royal fam.

People being forced to pay their "respects" at events like football matches is not on. Or at least fair enough if clubs want to do it, but it should also be fair game for those that want to show their displeasure as well. I find all these "common decency & no respect" a bit sickening to be honest.

Will i watch the funeral? If I'm at home at the time it is on i will, but i won't be making plans to stay in to watch it though.

What kind of displeasure would be fair game?

What kind of displeasure would be fair game?

It would depend on the person and how strongly they felt about it, why? Exactly the same as any protesters / strikers etc. I'd never do it personally because i liked old Queeny.

There should be a limit to it imo and sitting quiet in your seat not standing for the minutes silence should be the limit.

Okay, so you are happy to be forced to show respect to someone you may have strong (bad) feelings about, but other's aren't. Remember, people go to the football to watch football, not as a memorial to a Royal. That's life and both choices are fair enough. We aren't North Korea just yet.

I wasn’t forced to do anything I could have stayed on the concourse until it had passed if I’d wanted too but I didn’t want to and I had my grandson with me and he had a great history lesson from me.

Yeah, that’ll be it, made his name taking the piss out of the disabled and vulnerable people, he’s a disgusting cunt. If program makers had any morals and principles they wouldn’t go anywhere near him.

Comment deleted, that was uncalled for mush Apologies

It's a shame Cheap Trick are underrepresented on the curriculum...
