You don’t have to be a royalist to realise a massive stone has been wrenched from the foundation of our country today...

She looked exactly as my grandmother and mother had when I said goodbye to them... I knew it was over. When they interpreted parliament I said to myself "the queen's dead"

IM LITERALLY A COMMUNIST I look at it this way - the Royal Family cost £100 million a year - we spend 3 times that on Art Galleries. I dont care for the monarchy but I like art galleries - let those who love the royal Family HAVE their fun. To me the R/F are heritage. They are ceremonial and they have no power except to remove the PM position from wannabe dictators like Johnsons if need be - and I quite like that. I would no more pull down the Royal Family than I would the castles of England.

@Glasgow_kiss - I'm not having dumb conversations about utterly unrelated issues. Scottish independence just took a giant leap forward and if you are too stup!d to realise that - maybe Scotland is not ready for independence.

@terrydaktyllus1320 - OK - fair enough. Thi sis copied from another answer: The Queen was not JUST "The Queen" she was the last link to Empire. The last link to "GREAT Britain". That thread has been severed, Charles could be infinitely better as King, but he can not make the people who need to feel like Britain rules the world - feel like Britain rules the world. The loss of the Queen is the final nail in the coffin of Britain as a great power. All Britains "Soft Power" in the world died yesterday. Ironically I think it will make middle England much more difficult to govern in the medium term for the Tories, "the world is going to hell in a handbasket" and they hate it. The commonwealth will fracture, of this I am sure. The Queen was the glue that held it all together, even people who didn't care for the Queen in far off colonies kinda thought it was bad form to be nasty to an old lady... There will be a pause, there will be a reflection, and then the children will each go their own way. This is a massive watershed moment in British history. A seesaw was tipped at 6.30pm yesterday. Britain lived in the old world yesterday - today it lives in the new world, many won't cope, many more will hate it. But like it or not the 21st century has arrived in Britain... ---§--- These things have their own inertia and their own momentum. A body at rest requires a force to get it moving, to overcome the static friction that keeps it in place. The Queen was that static friction that kept everything together. People across the world wake up today free of the last vestiges of colonial shackles and will want to move on and as it starts it will develop its own momentum. Psychologically the people of Scotland feel less a part of the UK today than they did yesterday. Only a tiny bit. But a very important "bit" - the Queen was Queen of all the UK, that was a given. The people of Scotland can see King Charles the 3rd as the king of England. This is an option to them. Add that the incoming breakup of the commonwealth and the Scottish independence moment got their biggest boost in a century.

@Glasgow_kiss - If you are Scottish then it's WAY more important to you than to the English. It has much bigger implications for Scotland than for England. This is why I suffer from severe Ilithiophobia.

@MeAndTheBoys_ " No more training wheels for England." the 1200 year old country...??? I would be way more worried about England following the Queen into the ground dead an buried than worrying about getting the training wheels off.

MY GOD - this comment has brought out the opinionated idiots...

@terrydaktyllus1320 - Yes you are missing a lot. In more than one regard.

@ingridschmid1709 Firstly THANK YOU. I think Charles will do his very best to be a good king. But it will be for nothing. The Queen was not JUST "The Queen" she was the last link to Empire. The last link to "GREAT Britain". That thread has been severed, Charles could be infinitely better as King, but he can not make the people who need to feel like Britain rules the world - feel like Britain rules the world. The loss of the Queen is the final nail in the coffin of Britain as a great power. All Britains "Soft Power" in the world died yesterday.

@OneTrueScotsman "Hopefully, a giant push towards growing up like almost everyone else" I think an actual revolution will be needed for that, but I think the UK moved one big step closer to that in the last 24 hours.

@terrydaktyllus1320 - NOPE - I dont like you.

@terrydaktyllus1320 "o my knowledge, you've never met "me". When all you have to extrapolate who "me" " I've extrapolated you are a sperm stain on the dark blue blanket of humanity.

@ingridschmid1709 - Im not a royalist. Im a communist. But denying the importance of the Queen is like a pacifist denying the importance the nuclear bomb. The TV stations in Brasil stopped transmitting regular programs last night. News anchors in America openly wept as they read the announcement. This was the lead story on every news channel in every country around the world. The Queen was of global importance to British "soft power". As it happens I have no objection to the Royal Family, they have no power, they are like living heritage. If they had actual power, I would be the first to object. But they dont and they make a lot of people happy, they cost £100 million a year - that's a small PPE contract for a Tory ministers pub landlord... People are not going hungry cos of a woman in a posh hat - they are going hungry cos of 12 years of voting Tory.

@ingridschmid1709 - They are very good here. Energy is up 11.2%. Petrol is £1.40 a litre. Wages are up 540% in 20 years. Inflation is high right now about 13%, but its mostly very specific things - dairy products have gone up 100% to 200% for example. Meat has not gone up, bread has not gone up. housing - so far, rent has not gone up. We do have proportional representation - which is good. The downside is that allowed a narcissist TV presenter [why are they allowed in polotics] to start a political party and get votes and now he has collapsed the govt out of attention seeking... The good thing about PR I can vote communist and the majority can vote somewhere in the middle and whilst I never get to "win" it keeps the country left of centre by a long way. so people who might not want a return of Stalin vote communist to move the Overton window you see... So the new hospital they have built next door is a real hospital and not a figment in Boris's imagination. They have to actually do stuff. Nurses adn school teachers are among the highest paid in society, this soft of thing. Having PR allows you to think in a very different way about your vote. Its 29ºC and sunny today, very very long summer this year. It started in April and is till going - I'm a bit sick of it. How is ti where you are?

@aardvark2641 - Id take then if I were you. You have nothing else to live for.

@Glasgow_kiss - I cant talk to you - I have Ilithiophobia. EDIT: QUOTE "Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022." You see why I cant talk to you? God Help Scotland with catastrophic id!ots like you in it.

@Glasgow_kiss "the monarch is apolitical so cant be a diplomat." I see you being th!ck in the live stream...

@danteshydratshirt2360 - In fairness, that's funny.

I KNOW...!!! I will be forever grateful that she hung on long enough. If she had dies 4 weeks ago Bojo would have called a general election to try and benefit from the rally around the flag moment, and it may have worked.
