Oooh BBC are just following the plane landing, you'd think she'd exited the building already.
Remind me when the queen has ever interfered with the democratic process? Genuine question
Also raptors are routinly killed on the balmoral estate and the police have to ask her if they can investigate which is refused routinely .
I’d look to Ireland for a reasonable why to handle not having a Monarch. But how about we don’t do this now?
...are you new here!?
you have to wonder why she hasn’t been taken to hospital, sure the RAF could spare a helicopter or 2 ?
My guess is she knows she is dying and refused. Whats the point?
most workplaces have a limit on the number of employees on a single plane or in a car etc
is that true? Never heard that one before.
Damn right, I've never been the same since we went to a trade show in Amsterdam and got shitfaced and five of us tried to pile into a taxi and I accidentally fisted Fat John, I can still feel that clammy wet feeling, try not to eat finger food with my left hand anymore.
He must have been watching sky news and decided he was being too serious.

We are going to have weeks of this crap on tv now aren't we.
Oh well they had better not remove stuff from netflix, spotify and prime

Whilst you're there, remind me when the queen has ever protected someone who interfered sexually with prepubescents?
Just a 1000 or so times…
"vetted" is not synonymous with "vetoed".
Lets hope the doctors make her as 'comfortable' as her grandfather.
Just a 1000 or so times…
So how many time out of those did she intervene and Stop the laws being passed?
Tj, I wouldn’t call that interfering with the democratic process. I’d call that using her influence to get her own way. In exactly the same way most overly rich and overly privileged people do. I’m not suggesting for a minute that’s correct, nor that I support the monarchy (the concept is ridiculous)
Technically I believe she could veto pretty much any law passed by government via royal consent, yet I can’t remember a time she ever has. Can you?
The guardian investigation threw up many instances. The raptor killings is also a clear example if ignoring the law

Well, I’ve had the call to pack a bag and get up to London.
So how many time out of those did she intervene and Stop the laws being passed?
According to the article 4, and even then, she lobbied [her MPs] for changes which may or may not have been made and, you know, under a democratic system, is exactly what we're all supposed to do if we don't like for instance; the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill.
End of an ir I guess
Was that going to be an "end of an er" joke until autocorrect kicked in?
Tj, I wouldn’t call that interfering with the democratic process. I’d call that using her influence to get her own way.
AKA interfering.
Hmm. When she does go it will mean a challenge for Private Eye crossword compilers...
Im not going to debate her proven frequent interference in laws and ignoring criminality any more here. Start another thread if you want to debate it.
It will just end up with a fight on here
Was that going to be an “end of an er” joke until autocorrect kicked in?
Yeah, autocorrect or fat fingers. It should have been i:r
Tj the only person on here picking a fights you.
Remember that old adage if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.
PM has no plans to travel to Scotland, she's already done her job up there. Besides never a good idea to returrn to the scene.
Correcting blatent falshoods?
The guardian investigation threw up many instances
No it doesn’t it says she reviewed them, how many times did she stop them coming into being or changed them in any way? You don’t know, neither do I
As for lobbying, yes she’s entitled to lobby for changes in the law that affect her. As are you and I.
Anyway, not going to derail this thread arguing the technicalities of it with you. We’ll just have to disagree on this one
Edit..just saw your response. Agreed let’s not ruin this thread!
I wish we all had the same level of health care as she currently enjoys and has enjoyed all her life - but we don’t.
I see the all of the GCN+ Breakaway presenters are in black!
That odd time where it's not official but WE ALL KNOW
Police mate has had all leave cancelled and been warned to expect 12 hour shifts.
Welcome release from the aroma of fresh paint.

Shame that Her Majesty's constabulary are so selective with how their resources are dedicated...

I think this every time an ancient royal dies. If my mother and grandparents had that level of health care then they'd maybe still be around. My grandparents would be roughly the same age as her and have been dead for decades.
Sorry, carry on with the mourning.
LOL @ Marge from haverhill is miffed carries the same weight as Elizabeth Saxecoburg Gotha is not amused.

she has been a credit to this country and humanity IMO.

I'm not sure on what's inevitably going to end up as an obituary/eulogy/condolences thread that this is the sort of "blatant falsehoods" to be correcting.
No "blatant falsehoods” had been made when TJ decided to wade into the thread.
Someone gave their opinion which they confirmed was their opinion by adding IMO.
She has been a credit to the country and humanity is a blatent falsehood.
With that im off. I'll leave you to your forelock tugging

Yeah - combats are a crime against fashion!

Only if that isn't the genuine opinion of author.
I wish I'd invested in Kleenex shares!
This week has been the gift that keeps on giving for forum fappers! 🍆💦
And there's me thinking she was just pulling a sickie to swerve a visit from Megan 😉
Hope she pulls thru,or it’s going to be a wall to wall sycophantic outpouring competition.
Christ, listening to Huw and Nick rattling on is very draining. Switching over to BBC2 , the Bidding room is on
Wychall’s in depressingly sombre mood.
Just upset he's not been invited in to watch her demise, Ghoulish man
As i understand it – when the death of a monarch is announced – all work places close and everyone is sent home.
My old boss couldn't understand why someone wanted to go home when he got a call to say his Daughter was about to give birth. His exact words were "why do you need to be there, you're not a midwide are you ?"
they took separate private jets. Ridiculous.
Do you actually think about what you are trying to say before typing it ?
"Hope she pulls through" to what end? She's 96, dying peacefully at home after a long and healthy life is a fate many would envy.
is that true? Never heard that one before.
Big thing in some industries. Been impacted by it twice. Once flying with 3 colleagues to germany, between us we were the entire departments technical specialists, would have taken years to replace us.
HR gave us a right reaming when we got back, on the same flight, again, having driven to and from the airport in the same car...

When was the last time a monarch died? Have there been any relevant changes in legislation since then?

I'm concerned about Addie's weight, if he carries on like that I can't see him making it to another series.
.
Yes the Queen has had a privileged life, with the trappings of wealth and the best health care. However I have liked her a lot and I think covid has finished her off.
However I think she's worked quite hard all her life and put her country first.
Good luck to Charles as he's going to need it. The thought of someone such as Boris being head of state, fills me with dread.
51 mins into Home Time with Bush and Ritchie on Absolute Radio and its just music and ads without them adding their chat / humour / banter.
I sense that an announcement is imminent. "We interrupt this transmission, etc etc..."

I hope so. Back then shops and things were shut on Sundays out of respect for the death of the illigitemate son of a ficticious omnipotent deity.
