Monarch or Elected President

Schofield and Willoughby would have been at the front of my queue at the trials anyway for the alleged secret relationship with a lad of a questionable age and for being part of Celebrity Juice. Add spin to win your bills and the self importance of skipping the queue and it really doesn’t look good for them.

Schofield and Handy Andy scrapping it out for the title of biggest sex case?

Anyone got any idea why Willoughby had a face mask on to?

It’s all a bit weird now, let’s be honest.

If you turn the sound off, focused on the queue, we could quite easily be in Pyongyang or waiting outside to see Mao’s body…

Well said that man, though he will probably now mysteriously die in an "accident".

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

Maybe they just feel they have to give something back to a queen that dedicated her life to serve us for 70 years.

She didn't serve me.

I keep hearing this guff about service and duty. What did she actually do?

Cut some ribbons and smashed a few champagne bottles on the back of some ships. Not a bad gig for a life of untold wealth and privilege.

I just don't get it. Never have, never will.

I think she did a lot more than she really needed to in recent years (should have abdicated a decade or more ago, if you ask me), but let's not kid ourselves that she's been grafting at the coalface all these years. As when Princess Diana died, I'm always struck by the fact that, for all the public appearances and support for good causes, the Royals still spend half of the year or more on holiday. Half of the hangers on (Edward and Andrew, I'm looking at you) do sweet F.A., truth be told.

As I've said in the past, the Queen was the best of them, but she's still lived a life of luxury, as have they all.

It's no surprise that her children are such unimpressive characters given this want for nothing upbringing. I'd imagine the children of most superwealthy people tend to similarly flail around but they at least have the chance to enter mummy or daddy's business. The Royals' business is merely to exist and create heirs.

I really don’t understand the utter disrespect, have you any idea just how tough it is going on a 96 year holiday, never having a solitary thing to worry about.  All the while being surrounded by an army of sycophantic flunky’s who’s only mission in life is to be part of the club and get some pointless badge for achieving the square root of fûck all.

You’re harsh. She served, tea and cakes, well, her lackies did it. She had parties, well, turned up in fancy outfits…

There’s a reason so many kids of wealthy types, particularly aristocracy have such copulated up morals and lives is Becauee they do excrement all.

They serve nobody except themselves. It’s the public wasting their time queuing up to see an empty box with a crown made of stolen diamonds on it. Don’t see royalty rocking up at funerals of normal folk…

It’s all fucjing guff and to be honest, as the weeks gone on I’ve began to be even more belligerent about my desire to see the end of the monarchy.

Me also.

The endless news cycle on this is just creepy. People falling over themselves to tell us what a great woman she was and how much the grieving nation will miss her. The latest guff I saw was concerning Viscount Severn (no, me neither) who has been so "brave" to stand vigil at his Grannies coffin for 15 minutes.

It all feels very North Korean.

He’s got some grandparent with the name Battenberg…are these weird inbreeds all named after cakes and biscuits?

It’s weird and odd and to be honest serves little purpose. People aren’t queueing because they’re sad, they’re queueing to say they were at something and for a excrement picture for social media.

We’ve mocked countries for less.

It’s all North Korea…
