The fact that they're going on tv to defend to monarchy or the fact that Scottish electorate are so pro monarchy even the SNP see supporting the monarchy as a vote winner. It's not a vote winner really - it's about not alienating folk that might otherwise vote for independence - the cliched "don't scare the horses" strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I'm no fan of crowns in general or the Kings, Queens and Popes that wear them and I was as pissed as the next person about the wall to wall grief monkeys in the media last month But it does seem a bit petty to complain about the continued existence of an outdated constitutional relic when playing against a team from Donetsk in 2022 It's like saying "shut up about your broken leg already, let's talk about my stubbed toe" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would probably be more relevant if they were doing their bread and butter banners about the British army and Ireland whilst Ukraine are in the midst of genuine war for freedom. I think in the immediate aftermath of her death, this was fairer game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metaphor is a bit of a stretch but if we're being pernickety there's a difference between the situation when you're being directly asked to show your level of respect and do so by booing and getting a banner printed and lugging it across Europe Incidentally Hearts supporters have now booed tributes to Queen Elizabeth, Pope John Paul II and Princess Diana The 14th Dalai Lama is now 87 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they need to move anything? I thought it was all as a mark of respect because she'd died? No one has died this time. It would suggest that wasn't the reason at all and simply a way of prioritising the Royal events over everything else. Regardless of what the people want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
