The Queen

[Fade and Die]

If I've misinterpreted the meaning behind your comments then I apologise.

Nah I don’t think you did. As with virtually every post he makes it’s a snipe at the hated English or our glorious union with Scotland. ??

Questioning and disrespecting are widely different and certainly not mutually exclusive among intelligent people.

DfT raised a simple issue yet got pilloried he was not disrespecting the person.

As it happens I too am surprised that the number given for those who paid their respects during the lying in state was 250,000 but only because the impression I had picked up was that the number would be more like 500,000. I hadn’t done any sums to see if that was logically possible, it was just the impression I formed…So I get where DfT is coming from.

But in truth the actual number doesn’t really matter as the numbers viewing the lying in state were as many as could be accommodated in the time.

Imagine looking at golf courses opening as a barometer in regards the feelings towards the monarchy ?‍

It's a golf forum, it was just an example. And no it wasn;t around 4.1 billion That's more than half the world's population, you won;t even have had half the UK population watching, never mind China, Russia, India, huge parts of Africa where they don't even have TVs. Surely you, as one of the better posters here haven't swallowed that?

 

[Banchory Buddha]

So the 6.1 billion people who watched the funeral yesterday aren't in the real world?

LOL. You are nae right if you think that is anywhere near the true figure. Good grief man, propoganda loves you eh?

It is impossible to calculate the total global viewing figures but I suggest that these numbers of 4 and 6 billion may simply be the number of people that saw some coverage ie. a news clip rather than sitting down and actually watching the whole thing.

They have been magnificent, such an honour and responsibility

I was just reading that the coffin was lead lined and weighed 550 lbs (250 kg). My massive respect for them has just gone up even more massively!

Yeah traps the smells and slows down the decay.

Wow, What a tit you are. 44DD I'd estimate.

Being a bit aggressive aren't you ? It's exactly why it's lead lined. As the coffin will lay in state for several days and you don't want it smelling.

SSSheeeseh..... I've read a lot om this thread & similar..... I've supported many BUT....... I must say I'm still incredulous as to how easily folk are misled. Especially how ex-military are still unable, even in retirement, to escape the indoctrination they've suffered for so, so long...... understandable in many ways but at the same time quite worrying.
I really do feel I've at least had a glimpse of life in N Korea.

Why did you feel a need to say that, it's very poor form and makes you out as someone who will stoop to any level of depravity rather than keep to the norms expected in civilised debate. Shame on you, how would you feel if that was suggested regarding the death of one of your loved ones.

Shame you don't try permanent residence there as it sounds perfect for you.

To fair to you zi think you need to reread my post as it's you who are on N Korea' s doorstep. However I can understand your confusion after so many years suffering the indoctrination.

On the contrary. It sounds exactly the type of country you would fit in to nicely. No Monarchy, no nasty big business, a warm and comforting big daddy to tuck you up at night in your republican security blanket. Perfect.

What an odd post. It's the same information you will find in any news article including the BBC and sky , will you be saying the same over the top remarks to them?

 

[ExRabbit]

I thought this thread was once again meant to be about paying respect to our past Queen.

See post 358.

Some of you should know when to give it a rest.

SMH.

You will need to translate whatever you are trying to say into straightforward messages. This thread is about the Queen and nearly everyone is paying huge respects..apart form the odd or two

What the heck has indoctrination in relation to the queen, mourning our nations loss and paying our respects? North Korea?

Ronan Keating did a great song you should try it out..

You are extremely disrespectful to lots of people who dedicated a lot of their life to protecting the country and the people in it - that includes people like you who continue to accuse them of being “radicalised” and to compare to North Korea - that’s an embarrassment.
