Cancelled train strike next week, they should have doubled down and demanded more or nobody gets to the funeral. That would be the best way to lose every bit of sympathy they have. Just read that Last Night of the Proms has been cancelled too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I've just read that Charles will face to the right on coins (it alternates apparently) that will twist my melon for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abolish this bullshit. They aren’t really shutting down the country. So far some events have been cancelled, there seems to be a bank holiday. I haven’t heard about them shutting down the country yet, see what else is announced. You might not care that the Queen has died but a lot of people do, you are free to go ahead and ignore it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily doesn't affect mine but anyone who's events get cancelled may be rightfully angry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liffguard Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I guess today we have found where the "nothing is off-limits for comedy, stop being offended snowflake" free-speech brigade draws the line. *(just kidding, the line has always been wherever they want it to be on any given day).

john Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Did feel a bit of a twinge of something like sadness, even as a lifelong republican. Mind you, I felt the same kind of thing when Scott Mills left Radio 1 a couple of weeks ago, so probably doesn’t mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing the same slippery slope/authoritarian fear mongering that COVID lock downs drew. Nationalism over health and safety, rinse/repeat.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Just a reminder for those people (like me) who get confused by the British Monarchy and it's subject. Simon Pegg is an English actor born under the name Simon Beckingham and is in no relationship to the Royals. The royal seat is Buckingham palace (not Beckingham), William is Prince Pegg and the the Prince of Wales, but not Welsh. I think that's about right.
