    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 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.

    Correcting blatent falshoods?

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

    Protecting a nonce. Interfering in the democratic pricess. Hoarding wealth

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Twitter seems to be a mixture of people who couldn’t give a toss, people who do give a toss, and that special breed of people who are blaming Meghan Markle for it all while quietly ignoring Price Andrew being a turbononce.

    I’m quite happy to see the monarchy scaled back, reined in, modernised whatever, but I’m intrigued where the sunlit uplands are where a monarchy has been abolished and all the ills being blamed on them have been removed from society?

    Get rid of the monarchy/landed gentry or whatever, and some nouveau riche wannabe astronaut or oligarch will be along to take their place.

    At least with no monarchy it’s one less group for the succession of crap governments we keep electing to use in a culture war to hide their failures and corruption.

    The Royals are the ultimate SQUIRREL! for many on both sides of the republican argument. All hail King Tufty VIII!

    Why do we need a head of state?

    It’s just an apolitical role to shake people’s hands and be a figurehead for the country. They’re quite useful to have, and when executive power does it it can cause problems as in the USA.

    I am not a royalist mind. I don’t particularly care who does it the job. It’d be fun if it were BBC SPOTY or something.

    My grandparents are both in their 90s and still alive. NHS is doing a decent job!

    All rich people have good healthcare. Some make their money, some are born into it. Do you begrudge the Beckham kids having access to great healthcare? They haven’t earn’t their money.

    A friend of mine whose husband is in senior security circles has just stated “Long Live the King” as apparently it’s been communicated at some level that she’s already died. Allegedly…

    Yep, pretty simple question.

    I’m looking forward to the practice of the ritual sacrifice of any current royal correspondents such as Nicholas Witchell and Jenny Bond to aid in the passing of Liz to the royal afterlife. They knew it was bound to happen at some point yet they still carried out their subservient grovelling without any thought to themselves, such a noble sacrifice.

    I know many rich people who’ve had access to great healthcare – many have died sooner than they should.

    Money can buy good care, it can’t always buy good health.

    I’m no royalist in any way shape or form. But today is about a very old lady who appears to be in her last hours/days. I’m quite happy to keep my republican aspirations separate. The vast majority of the nation have only known one monarch – when we move on it’ll sharpen the nations’ thinking on this – it’ll be more about the concept of the institution than a loyalty to a personality you’ve known in post all your life.

    Whatever, for everyone’s sake I do hope this next phase does not last too long – for both the family and the flagshaggers amongst us if this stretches to days/weeks, as it often does, it’ll be no fun. No Liverpool pathway for our Liz I suspect.

    A monarch and PM with the same name – have we had this before? And for it to last such a short time. The chances her of dying so close to doing to do with the PM change over is a touch eary.
