I can't believe it is happening in plain sight for all of us to see without any fight-back. We're all just waiting for you to kick off, man! 15 minutes ago, Netan Sansara said: An absolute mentalist interviewed on the BBC website who has queued to see the coffin 7 times. Incredible. Maybe just astonished about the poor workmanship, like the Shoddy! priest on Father Ted. 5 minutes ago, Clown Job said: I’m also off Monday We have also been offered free counselling if we have been affected by her death You could use the time to talk about the existential horror of being trapped on a spinning ball of rock hurtling through infinity with millions of people who need counselling due to the death of someone who did nothing with their life but accrue personal wealth at the expense of the people they didn't even know or care existed. ...and breathe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like a gift for the BBC and the Tories - writing the narrative that we are all in awe of the Royal Family based on people who lined the road etc. Its the equivalent of turning up at Pittodrie and making the assumption that 3/4 of the population must support Aberdeen FC based on the crowd that day. The bbc is all about the royal family and “traditional British values” and anyone presenting at a time like this will hve been trained specifically on how to deal with the queens passing. I suppose they seem brainwashed as they probably don’t believe what they’re saying themselves and are just saying it as it’s part of their job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in a college - if we went ahead with classes imagine the fuming in the Mail and Express: EVIL JOCKOLAND COLLEGE MAKES GRIEVING ROYALS CRY BY FORCING STUDENTS TO STUDY DURING FUNERAL! Regarding the arrests - there is a counterargument in that the protestors were arrested to protect them. Remember that chip shop owner whose place got trashed when she questioned the obsequies. Royal enthusiasts can get pretty nasty. I wouldn't recommend any protestors to exercise their freedom of speech on the routes to Ibrox tomorrow night, say. Were people arrested yesterday? I saw the woman with the “not my king” banner being led away but that’s not the same as being arrested. Also the guy who loudly abused Andrew who got punched wasn’t being arrested the police just wanted him away from proceedings. My next door neighbour is polis and he wasn’t under instruction to arrest anyone speaking Ill of the royal family so think people are getting a bit tinfoil hat. Id imagine if you started any trouble at ibrox a police would intervene to avoid any ensuing violence like they would anywhere with a crowd of people I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one seems to be putting their head above the parapet. Said this on another part of the forum but George Russell was 3rd in the Italian GP at the weekend. As the interviewer was British he got asked as part of the post race interview how he felt about the auld yin's death. What's he supposed to say? Although I would have loved it if he'd said something like "I've just been concentrating on the race this weekend tbh". There MUST be some people on the media who feel this way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk just can't be arsed with it all and are not so much unwilling to put their head above the parapet as not interested enough either way.

According to the BBC two people arrested for Breach. I suppose it it relies on how loud they shouted and how alarmed people claimed to be! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
