Good job JF isn't here anymore, he'd be really struggling to stay off social media after a few glasses of vino toasting the Queens life

I don’t think it was sudden to be fair, since her husband pooped his clogs she’s gone down hill and I suspect she’s been ill for quite some time. It was clear, with the announcement yesterday that she was going to die yesterday. I’m no royalist, far from it, I’d abolish the lot but I do read about them and the protocols etc. and they rarely give updates on the reigning monarchs health. They did it when she had covid and now this,

I think and hope this is the end of the monarchy in its current guise and they shift towards a more modern and open royal family, I mean Charles offering his brother to the police and the FBI would be a start but I won’t hold my breath.

She did her bit in the war but let’s not forget that her old man took some serious persuading by Churchill to stick around, not her fault but they could’ve gone had Churchill not done that. I’m certainly not buying the idea that she helped to keep our dear and great country ours. No more than my great grandad doing his bit. Collective success perhaps but she can’t claim anything more, nor would she to be honest.

An old lady has died, she’s led a varied life and along the way, regardless of what anyone says, she’s made mistakes. She’s done some good but was in a position that if anyone of us were, they would’ve done the same.

It’s hard to fully support the idea of national mourning and the likes when huge swathes of geriatric folk will be freezing and dying this winter. That children will go hungry and we still have the most embarrassing government, all whilst a crown worth so much it’s impossible to value will sit atop a box draped in a flag for us all to walk past should we wish…

Still, and I will say this, the image of her sat there, alone, at her husbands funeral should be a stark reminder to everyone jjst how disgusting, vile and downright opprobrious our government is. The countries monarch sat alone, following the rules, refusing the relaxation of rules to accommodate her husbands funeral, choosing to take the same path as you and I probably gained her some support in her final year…meanwhile her government, our government didn’t give a flying intercourse.

So whilst I’d abolish the monarchy, seeing democratically voted officials and their lackies just tossing it off and behaving like entitles little girl privates is something I’d equally like to see the back of. What a truly incompetent and contemptuous government.


Agree that the queen was in decline since her husband passed but given she was receiving Boris and Liz a couple of days earlier then in that sense it seems sudden. Also not sure where your source is from regarding Churchill having to dissuade her father, who served throughout WW1 and saw action at Jutland, from going to Canada, anything I’ve read including documents from the Imperial War Museum indicate his determination to stay. Incidentally, I’m not pro monarchy but understand that we have arrived at the constitutional set up we have through an evolution and within this framework the queen, in my opinion, did a reasonable job (no one is going to go 70 years without some issues).

With regards the cancellation of todays fixtures in the queens own words “sport has a wonderful way of bringing together people and nations” so why the EFL chose to cancel the fixtures when there was a precedent to play is inexplicable and as test cricket takes place, where the crowd were able to pay their respects in a way that we are deprived from doing, this is in my opinion, a complete but sadly not unexpected misjudgment.

Finally, at the end of my ramblings, I completely agree with your summary of our government’s performance and fear for much of society in the coming months. As such sport will be a welcome and much needed temporary escape and hopefully we can get back to using this forum for that purpose.

Is it necessarily disrespectful to play?  Every game could have a minutes silence and a cap at 70 minutes.


Won’t be needing any subs then

I understand her hand was bruised purple, it happens to elderly people (self included) when a Canula is introduced in the back of a hand for the use of some form of treatment like a drip.or as an alternative for constant injections.

She was a teenage princess ffs. I guarantee you she did not work in any factories or fields and she certainly wasn't storming the beaches of Normandy. It is beyond crackers to claim that doing "her bit" during WW2 has any influence on my existence or anyone else's. Talk about trying to give credit where it isn't due.


" ZUBES " to you .  ( or what they were for )
