Funny how the majority with leanings to the left on here love to portray themselves as nice caring , compassionate people who hate violence and who love their fellow man
The same posters who are calling people c*unts , bellends, offering people out and the cherry on the cake bringing up a posters illness to aid their mad rantings
Absolutely disgusting and vile, and the the two posters should be chucked off here after showing themselves up again |  |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Agree, someone said on here the other day (possibly even yesterday) that its starting to feel a bit mawkish now and I agree. It is a huge historical event but life does go on for us all and we're not all desperate to watch every single thing that happens. The Americans have the Kardashian family, we have the Royal Family to obsess over it seems.
Things like this concern me too:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62883713
I saw footage of the incident in Edinburgh yesterday - one kid (late teens, 20ish) shouting "You're a sick man!" at Andrew over and over before he then got pulled out of the crowd by other spectators and partly duffed up, and then by the police who more or less finished the job off.
I get that at that sort of event the crowd are going to be 95% pro-royal so you aren't exactly going to be welcomed for turning up and abusing them (although given what Andrew has allegedly been up to it feels a bit weird for the masses to defend him...), much like going and standing in the middle of the R Block and singing songs declaring your love for Chelsea/John Terry, but the idea that the police can just join in on duffing them up and arresting them when they haven't actually committed a crime (I've read they are using Public Order Offences as the justification to detain them) feels worryingly authoritarian to me. |  | | |

'I don't do personal abuse or resort to shouting at people, belittling them or swearing at them'.Â
------------
If it pleases the court to look in the body of the text posted on exhibit page 9 of this thread by renowned Loft for Words Author, 'Sharpediver', he clearly lambasts, does he not, those paying their respects to a 96 year old Great Grandmother as 'sycophantic'. Certainly a term of 'belittlement', I am only too sure the Court would agree...
M'lud, it grieves me to present this most base pupae of hypocrisy before you in such a manner. However This beggarly, two-suited, worsted-stocking  eater of broken meats then goes on to champion that very same trait of Hypocrisy in the same Post!!, by thunderously back-slapping the one trunk scoundrel Whore-Pander, and Celebrated Loft for word Author, his 'Mate' and possible concubine, 'Jay'..
Â
'Jay's' Valour now Bolstered on a Bermuda triangle of Kestral lager, 90 percent pure shippam fish paste Mighty white sandwiches and a pot of swarfega beffiting his 2inch shaft , courageously called the Queen a 'Parasite', in a post at 1am Sunday Morning when every c unt on here was in his bastard Kip.
A Post since cast into the midden, quite rightly in my opinion, by Our Supreme Bashar Na-Baron, 'Northernr'. Praise be upon him.
And Yet, Having said all of this, The court would like to thank 'Sharpediver' for his candour in providing a sample mean inventory of his reading material** in mitigation, A most engrossing epistle of works, we can all agree M'lud.
  Alas, This court feel compelled to point out that although no one here present gives a hard boiled shag on what publications 'Sharpediver' consumes in the Sanctity of his gratis Erich Honecker Plattenbau,  there very well maybe chitinous protozoa ossified in rock billions of year ago on the Sea of Fecundity, who do indeed give, a solitary flying fu ck.
**The Times,
London Review of Books
The New Stateman.
Also dips into The Spectator occasionally!!

Very droll mate.
You make a fair point in your imaginary court 'judgement' and yes I would say that I would consider your opinions 'sycophantic' too if that helps clarify things. Apologies if you consider that 'belittling'. Best wishes Disco old son, maybe see you down the R's one day, I owe you a pint in compensation for any offence caused. | | | |

We'll have to disagree with my post saying 'goodnight Sweetheart' along with a picture of The Queen as being sycophantic, but you took my response in a great spirit.
I'll only have that pint with you if you let me buy you two back. ;-)
All the best mate. [Post edited 13 Sep 2022 9:31]

There is choice though. BBC2 & Channel 4 switched to normal programming on friday night. ITV evening schedule has been normal programming even BBC have been showing dramas at 9pm the last 2 nights.
You also have 100's of othert channels carryng on as normal as well as various streaming services.
The public service broadcasters though do have to show these ceremonies which are on in the day, it's history being made in front of our eyes, would be a bit mad if they sacked it off to show Dickinsons Real Deal. |  | | |

I'm all for free speech but when you have basically a funeral procession walking down the road I'm not sure thats the right time to shout nonce at Prince Andrew. I'm not sure what he was hoping would happen there, i imagine he got what he wanted. | | | |

Bit of a sweeping statement there and a tad unfair.
While its clear things have got heated and a bit unpleasant between a few individuals on this thread, no need to tar all with the same brush. Call out the individuals involved if you want to, leave the rest of us out of it. | | | |

The coverage is excessive but the simple solution is not to watch. The OH has been fascinated by the constitutional stuff, but vox pops of people queuing to walk past a sealed coffin is unnecessary and uninformative.

Posters like Bazza, Robith , NGB are left in their views and I’ve had disagreements with them until the cows come home
I’ve also had some good posts with them , they haven’t felt the need to hijack this thread and neither have they called out a posters illness nor calling people a shower of cnts

I agree, the ceremonial stuff is interesting to watch, a genuine sense of history unfolding in front of you and I would expect that to be covered.
Endless vox pops less so, this morning they interviewed someone who once mistook the Queen for their mum in a crowd and that seemed to be the whole extent of her story.
I guess the problem is once they've committed to non stop programming at the times there's nothing to talk about there's a lot of space to fill. |  | | |

You referred to the majority with leanings to the left, not the actual people involved. So as I said, a tad unfair on everyone else.
Getting personal and offering people out is bang out of order either way. I don't think it's confined to one side of the political spectrum. | | | |
