Why do folk say silly things like "the whole country will be concerned"?

There are loads of folk who don't care. Why pretend otherwise? Even saying something like there will be people all across the country who are concerned would be better, as that's accurate. It doesn't say how many people but covers that there will be folk in all four of the countries who make up the UK who are sad royalists.

I don't care for the monarchy and find it deeply distasteful and full of utter weirdos and criminals of all sorts. But most of all, the death of an elderly stranger is absolutely none of my business.

All the mentalists offering prayers. When she eventually goes, do religious crazies ever question why their prayers failed?

Being the head of a whole Christian church just isn't enough for a God these days, huh.

Apparently all her children are making their way up today, i just hope she’s got their tea on

It'd be an ironic twist of fate if Andrew did have Covid at the Jubilee and it's that that's gotten her.

Absolutely this.  It's culture wars shite, trying to make on there's one strand of opinion in the country.  The majority love the monarchy / the Queen, a fair amount don't care, and a small number fucking hate it.  You get the same shite from racists who talk about immigrants adapting to British culture as if British culture is an actual identifiable thing.

From The Graun: 

BBC One suspends regular programming

BBC One has suspended regular programming after the announcement about the change to the Queen’s health.

The broadcaster is airing a BBC News Special, which will be followed by the planned BBC News at Six.

Presenter Huw Edwards is wearing a dark suit, white shirt and black tie, in accordace with the BBC’s dress code for when a member of the royal family dies.

Bargain Hunt was interrupted at 12.39 to broadcast the statement from Buckingham Palace alerting the public to royal doctors’ concern for the Queen’s health.

Since then, the channel has been airing rolling news coverage on the Queen’s health.

 

Can't see her making it if they've knobbed Bargain Hunt for it.

From a semi reliable source the queen has passed. Possibly nonsense but who knows.

You have a source inside Buckingham Palace? I know folk all claim to have 'sources' at their chosen football club, but this is a different level!

Well, it hasn't done the last 6 popes any favours, 5 dead and one resigned...
