Plus no mention of the devastating floods in Pakistan.

I’ve got a relative who works for a media agency. He hasn’t been home since her death on Thursday. He even asked me to drive upto Edinburgh on Saturday night to collect a small box and bring it back to London.

    Does the media genuinely think that the majority of the country want 24 news on the Queen right now? This is what I don’t get, yes 24 hours of news on it is fine. After that surely most people are not interested in constant news on it. What is there to report now that has been said 100 times already.

      “The contemporary Royals [serve] entirely to enshrine classism in the British nonconstitution. They live in high luxury and low autonomy, cosplaying as their ancestors, and are the subject of constant psychosocial projection from people mourning the loss of empire.”

      RichM Yeah, I totally get being respectful and all that but you can’t just keep repeating the same material / lines which is all i’m seeing. I’ve turned everything off now.

      The Queen?

      I caught about 15 mins of the procession from Balmoral yesterday morning. First there was some bint waffling on outside the gates, droning on and on about absolutely nothing, then when the hearse came out and went on its way there were more commentators just waffling on and on. I actually felt it would be more respectful to just have no words at all.

      Surely they can’t keep it up for another week?

        She’s ill, she’s dead, she’s going to be buried on Monday. Thinks that covers everything.

        You all missed out on these massive gains. 1300x RIO .. lol

        Have you never watched TV?

        Slight lul around Thursday, then start ramping back up towards the big day on Monday.

          Cinema’s might do well this week, with all that crap on TV.

            Funky my tip is to avoid terrestrial tele - I’ve been doing that a long time - I haven’t seen a minute of coverage of the fucking Queen.

            Amps they’ll be banging this drum for months

              erik All the way up until… he puts a foot wrong, they realise he’s a bit lefty, and then the Mail will go after him.
