Cancer patients are now having their appointments put on hold "out of respect for Her Majesty".
Hard to explain to anyone from abroad what a rot that the cultural memory of the Empire is to the UK. It's not a page in a history book, it's an active clew of worms that chews on the brains of this country every single day.

So we've got another bank holiday next Monday just for her funeral. How pathetic and I certainly won't be watching it on TV.

William is a hypocrite anyway, I remember a while ago where he said that rhinos need saving (and yes, we know like many critically endangered spices) and yet he thinks that it's ok to hunt wild animals for fun. Disgraceful the lot of them.

More seriously, this is very painful to read. Words can't describe how furious I'd be if I were a patient/a family member of a patient

Honestly it gets worse why should everything stop just for her funeral? We already have a massive back log of hospital appointments due to Covid and this isn't helping.

What Limmy is saying there... I was watching BBC Breakfast this morning and they were talking to this woman who had travelled from London to Edinburgh to see the coffin. Had queued for hours. They speak to her and she says "I'm not a royalist but I wanted to come and pay my respects" then they pan to a shot of her filing past the coffin making the sign of the cross and holding back the tears! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/1258801/images/Xs1davOYhobbIuqMMWUr.gif) Absolute goons these people.

This is why I'm not watching the BBC news etc to avoid all this kind of stuff. She's gone and there's nothing that people can do about it. I just scroll through the news pages on red to see if there's any other news stories of interest as I'm trying to find out if they've got anyone for that tragic shooting of that little girl in Liverpool yet. And, then I go to BBC 2 and not BBC One.

Eugh.
Roustabout Beckham, on his knees, begging for a shiny trinket.
What a very unsavoury episode.
