Perhaps it’s not just the daily mail straying into fantasy…
What's the point you are trying to make - that really Mrs Windsor hated Africans and went round shooting them, or something??
'..and of course Prince Charles or King Charles is well known for occasionally saying something vaguely resembling an opinion. John how do you think that will affect things...'
Never mind that jekyll. Have you found a good descent from Stanage, Froggatt or Curbar to the Derwent valley yet? 😉
And no configuration. Im afraid I've never hired bikes in marseilles.
Good luck though.

Well, apparently her mum wasn't a fan of Africans, or them having independence from colonial rule:
...she reportedly told Woodrow Wyatt that she “had some reservations about Jews,” and her lady-in-waiting that “the Africans just don’t know how to govern themselves…what a pity we’re not still looking after them.”
Well, apparently her mum wasn’t a fan of Africans, or them having independence from colonial rule:
Oh I see, the BBC clip is "straying into fantasy" due to the fact that QE2 couldn't have liked Africans because her mother was a racist.
Well her first cousin was famously a Nazi sympathiser, so I guess that made her a Nazi sympathiser too.
You are right, the BBC never mentioned that.

Her Majesty would have been touched by that.
William is formally Prince of Wales
I don't think so. The POW title needs to be given, it doesn't happen automatically. No doubt his maj will get round to it. Possibly after consulting various people. Then again, maybe there won't be a POW.
It's not over yet, the new king of Piel might make a move. I've saddled my pig just in case.
Yes, you guessed wrong, I haven't a clue.
Newsnight did a good piece using clips of her own words. The full historical context is bonkers really, isn’t it.
The world is literally overflowing with respect. So touching.

Decent weed prices, ye got a number? 😆
101 or 999
Yep, those are very fair prices indeed, I’ll have an oz of mango haze and a pre order of 1g mdma please, PayPal ok?
Lmao at dazh! So British, where do they get a inflatable london bus with a days notice.
From the Guardian
“With accession of Prince Charles to the throne, his eldest son has become the heir apparent, the Prince of Wales and the 25th Duke of Cornwall.
Along with this title, Prince William automatically inherits the Duchy of Cornwall, which has been an income stream for his father for more than half a century. This is thanks to the ownership of a landed estate of more than 52,000 hectares (128,000 acres), which also makes him one of England’s biggest landowners.”
Cool! Where do I sign up? I’d like the job of Duke of Cornwall!! I have A levels and a degree and can get my CV over tomorrow.
Sorry Scuttler it’s an internal vacancy.

Name checks out. #TalkToFrank
“With accession of Prince Charles to the throne, his eldest son has become the heir apparent, the Prince of Wales and the 25th Duke of Cornwall.
Whenever I hear the title Prince of Wales, I always hear Blackadder's rather disparaging remarks on it...
Having read the speech and noticed the part I obviously didn't listen to (I was doing other things):
"As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.
"He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.
"Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.
So some of the titles passed to William automatically, but the POW required an act of "creation".
Obviously, the big question is what team will he support?

Can you imagine the inheritance tax he SHOULD have to pay on that?
I’m amazed Putin has sent a message of condolence. We live in strange times
Can you imagine the inheritance tax he SHOULD have to pay on that?
Well, assuming Charlie lives another seven years, none.
Well, assuming Charlie lives another seven years, none.
I suspect it will be none even if he goes next week.
I thought the BBC might of eased back on this now but they are still doubling down.
Radio 4, 5 and local Radio still just full of pathetic stories about the Queen. Interviewing some small child about what she did at the Jubilee.
Even Mrs Gob, who is a bit of a Royalist, is sick of it now.
Where's the news about the war that we are fighting that means we are all getting fleeced for our energy and that BJ had to stay?
At least all the inheritance tax Charles has to pay will help towards the cost of living crisis.
Oh.
Not much sign of the infamous "balance" on the BBC then. If it's a rule for the likes of climate change then surely 50% of the coverage and comments should be from republicans.
We are subjects not citizens remember. No choice for us serfs
Yep, and by 'loyalty' they mean submission....very important when the system is in crisis.

…except for the fact that support for a republic is less than 25%
…except for the fact that support for a republic is less than 25%
Eh? Are you suggesting that 50% of economists were in favour of Brexit? We know that the BBC went out of its way to "balance" these discussions rather shan show where the majority view lay
…except for the fact that support for a republic is less than 25%
So it's not 0%?
Well, perhaps they feel that this is not the time for these discussions. The BBC has certainly discussed republicanism in the past and almost certainly will do so in the future. In any case isn’t social media the place for minority opinion to be given undue prominence? Certainly this particular echo chamber has ramped up the reverberance in the past few pages.
'This is not the time' Starmerite perchance?
So it's on the Beeb all day?
Just as well there's a thousand other channels to choose from then innit?
I'm off out on the bike, I'll take my phone & stream the coverage to my headphones, so I don't I miss anything.

Well yes I think that's the point - when a high profile person in the public eye dies convention doesn't require broadcasters to give time to those who think they were shit.
Edit: Since this is a direct attack on the BBC is there evidence that ITV is providing a better example? Genuine question, I'm not currently watching much telly.
Just a reminder:
obsequious
/əbˈsiːkwɪəs/
Learn to pronounce
adjective
obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.
"they were served by obsequious waiters"
give time to those who think they were shit
You can pay your respects to someone who has recently died who performed well in a role for all our lifetimes, without then also blindly proclaiming and rejoicing that someone new is now “reigning over us” without a even a glimmer of reflection or discussion about whether we should accept that or change things.
Just as well there’s a thousand other channels to choose from then innit?
Not entirely true.
I want an update on current affairs and on a weekend I tend to follow the football.
I listen to a mix of BBC local radio, Talksport and Radio 5 for the football, which is not happening and all 3 of those stations are saturated with stories about the Queen.
For current affairs it's Radio 4 and LBC, both of which saturated with stories about the Queen.
There is a massive story breaking, of far more historical importance than the death of 1 person and the our public service broadcaster is not effectively covering this.
As Truss would say. Its. A. Disgrace.

Because their ongoing coverage of Syria had been excellent since people got bored or found something else to be upset about.
The news isn't broken because of the death of 1 person it's broken because 99% of the population CGAS
Because their ongoing coverage of Syria
Brown people in the Middle East killing each other.
