Monarch or Elected President

The grand old Duke of York,
He had 12 million quid*.
He gave it to someone he’d never met,
For something he never did.

(* his Mum gave him the 12 million quid for the pay-off)

Has anyone off here been down to Westminster Hall and if so why?

Has anyone off here been down to Westminster Hall and if so why?

I have no idea what they get out of it. Queue for 24 hours to walk past a coffin.  

They’re watching us this week in Pyongyang thinking it’s a bit much.

There have been some crazy, crazy things happen in this country in the past 15 years but people queuing up for almost 24 hours to bow, sign and cross in front of a catafalque (!) must be near the very top.

Do these people not have jobs or other commitments?

Whilst they’re shuffling through the Westminster Hall, distracted by waving and mope-gurning at the cameras on the Mourn Hub livestream, the Government are pushing through legislation to remove the cap on bankers bonuses, whilst the rest of us get told not to ask for a pay rise.

The sort of deflection this country hasn’t seen since Paul Parker in Italia ‘90.

That’s the sort of thing we should be forming a massive crowd in London about. Jarrow March instead of harrow march.

To top it off, we’ve got the likes of David Beckham (desperate last attempt for a knighthood to boost his brand), Philip Schofield and other no-mark celebrities treating it like a Wimbledon-lite social event.

The absolute state of this country.

Jean Luc Godard - the king of French cinema died this week, he would have rock star status in France - secret family cremation only for him. That would have been top class street-cred if Charles and his siblings and the grandkids had just buried her in a field somewhere at Balmoral and called it a natural burial and just told everyone to just have a street party.

We did a natural burial for my dad in private then a service and reception for friends after, no feck rse parading about with the coffin. Worked really well. If I can't be sent off in a burning viking longboat on the Humber - my first choice, I'd go for the natural burial in some field in Lincs

Unlike you, I'm a Royalist but like you, I don't get it. Queue for 5 miles in all weathers for 24 hours?

The worst part about the queueing is so many have been moaning about it. What did they expect the queue to be like? flipping odd balls.

I’ve queued overnight for trainers and gig tickets but at least I got something out of it.

If people get themselves on Reddit there’s a video doing huge rounds of the BBCs coverage with precious commentary spliced together which is about North Korea…first perfectly.

It’s flipping mental, all of it, and it isn’t getting any better.

We’ve had serious meetings for kids cancelled this week because the LA or whoever is in a period of mourning. We’ve proven nothing other than our ability to be good at absolute irrelevant guff and the ability to walk in flipping lines.

Actually there are loads of extra trains running in and out of London - yet there is a national shortage of train drivers, and it is not easy to magic up extra rolling stock is it. Or it seems it is. Thankfully mourners wont have the Grimsby fans to Notts Couny experience…

My plan for Monday is great IKEA build day - the boxes have been sitting there for weeks.

I’ve no doubt that members of the royal household have used their status to ensure some good, William and Harry and their charity work for example…

Then you get Handy Andy and everything is undone. Mummy hid him away (just like those disabled family members), have him a wad of cash to pay off the victims and protected a blatantly guilty man.

The fact they’d even consider allowing Handy Andy anywhere near public life is a disgrace. All these royalists and the weird flag shaggers associated with it who bang on about grooming gangs yet conveniently ignore the fact that a prominent member of their beloved royals and his chums did exactly the same thing…

Freedom of speech has seemingly gone out of the window and the country has lost its mind. Thousands queuing and some that are, are moaning about it. Thick girl privates. Nobody made them…

Nobody made them? Really? I thought that the "Daily Heil" and the "Daily Excess" did....
