Very sad to see her go. I like her, from what I can tell.

Hopefully he abdicates that William / Kate take over. I think William would be a good king and Kate seems nice.

The obvious institutional racism aside, the way she, and her mumped up son, treated Di was abhorrent.

When I'm there I get more the feeling it's like the one thing that makes them feel "normal" and connected to their past/lineage more than anything else.

That being said, we didn't fight a war to just to fawn over them anymore, which is why I generally don't care for them. I am ready to the "the Queen is dead love live the King" so there's that

The British monarchy should just disband at this point IMO.

Yep.  Break up their crap and make parks and museums and what not

Title: Re: Queen is not well
Post by: Pete on September 08, 2022, 12:55:56 PM
I think much of their crap already is a park or public land at this point. 

It’s none of my business what they do with their monarchy, because unfortunately I am not British. If it were up to me, we would have never gone to war with them and would all be one big happy family now.
Title: Re: Queen is not well

I find the pomp and circumstance interesting but overall I don't care too much.

Still sad. Long live the king!

CNBC has already spent way too much time on this. Had to call Shep Smith in and mumped up Power Lunch. MOVING ON here folks.

I'm not sure if they would be as cool as they are today if we wouldn't have embarrassed them in front of the whole world 250 years ago.

I just discovered Irish twitter and my goodness. The Indians have been disappointingly quiet. The Africans and Irish are more than pulling their weight tho.
