If you knew anything about Guinea Pigs, you’d know they’re the most left-leaning and progressive of the rodents.

Because its happening because of a massively overblown emotional response to an old lady dying? 

 

Btw, when people claim the royal family bring money into the country have they factored in all the indirect costs? Beside the direct cost of 6 billion quid to change monarch, the Queen's death is probably going to tip us inot a recession.

They are. Like socialists they're also pathetic, and it's difficult to imagine how they could survive in the wild.

They live wild in the mountains of South America. They're fucking nails really, we've just turned them pathetic.

Something else I’ve realised this week….current & ex service people are largely lying to themselves about the Queen being their “boss”… symbolically yes, literally not. In reality Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron,May and Johnson have been their bosses and not the queen, regardless of who you swear allegiance to.  It sounds like a cop out,  an unwillingness to recognise the reality “oh yes I served HM in Iraq” … no, you did the bidding of the US in their desire to exploit natural resources and Blair followed on behind. I suppose for some it’s got to be so, to justify some of the things they are compelled to do…. “I do this in the name of the queen, and God appoints her so…” Not a criticism btw, not sure we could call ourselves a nation without effective armed forces, I just object to some of the shitty things they’re asked to do 👍

That's not woke, though. 

 

Didn't 'woke' begin as a term used by POC to label anyone aware of the issues that they're facing? It's since been bastardised by the right to as a replacement for Do-Gooders/Political Correctness/Health and Safety gone mad. Basically used to denigrate anyone with an overt social conscience?

Fair point, although I guess now the queen is not their boss in any sense. Will they be as willing to tell themselves this lie for Charles?

The ex forces / current serving lads I know always jizz whenever there's something about the Queen.  I close friend has done several tours of Afghan / Iraq.  When there its 'We aren't doing this for the politicians, its for our oppos / brothers'  Then the Queen dies and it's all 'Cheers Boss'  Fuck off.
