UNITED Kingdom 16:18 - Sep 11 with 17939 views | Catullus | People can talk about Scottish indy but judging by the crowds forming and growing up in Scotland, a lot of people, a great lot of people are grieving the Queen's death and all across the UK we are seeing people united by this. Happy times don't bring people together but tragedies do and it looks like the majority see her passing as a tragedy, maybe King Charles can take advantage of this and strengthen the unity going forward. Will the Queen pasing actually make the UK a more unified place? | |

I do hope this will unite people. We are all better off together. Hatred breeds hatred. Love overcomes all. We don’t need to be against each other. Much easier to look out for everyone. | | | |

Lets not portray that everyone who likes the prospect of Independence does so out of hatred. I like England and Scotland, go on holiday there, visit family and friends. The status quo of the Union just isn't working, I'd love for all the countries to be independent and then work together alongside Ireland too. Much like how the Nordic Council does. | |

Well quite a few people seem to think it tragic, including the Royal family. King Charles, in my opinion, was a bell when he was a Prince so no change there. That's why I said I'd rather we missed him out and had Wills and Kate. Though my first choice is to abolish the monarchy. I'm not sure many Americans will have managed the trip at such short notice, unless they are rich enough not to work. Though Meghan is around. | |

Correct Bryan. I advocate Welsh Independence but i've never said I hate English people. How could I. I've got family members who are English and they are great people. It's Westminster governments I can't stand. And while not being a Royalist, I had tremendous respect for the Queen herself and was very sad, and still am, that she has died. | | | |

If only eh , common ideals , common language , same humour , same love of sports etc, share same ideals , education , history yet so divided . I did see on one of the many social media comments that 85% of the UK supported the Monarchy , I dint know where this came from but it would be interesting to have a national poll to gauge the opinions of the country | |

It’s this exact attitude and tone that could win hearts and minds in the mission for independence. It must drive the likes of johnlangly round the twist with the damage ‘England are mean to us’ brigade are doing. Causes the most possible harm to the movement. | | | |

Depends what age group, apparently only 30% of the 18/24’s support the monarchy, whereas the older generation offer more support. | | | |

As I said I'm not sure or know what poll he was quoting . you're probably right, how many kids these days care about anything . I know that's a sweeping statement but my experience of the younger generation is that they have selfish attitudes towards society | |

Isn’t it the opposite ? The new generation seem to be far kinder and more understanding the generations before. | | | |
UNITED Kingdom on 19:17 - Sep 11 with 4374 views | Togg | Totally ambivalent to Royalty but the thought of President Blair terrifies me. Also Oliver Cromwell sucked the absolute joy out of life .

Blair would hardly have had more power as President than he did as PM and we could, and did, vote him back out too. Cromwell, I didnt know he was still around! Nobody has been meaner or more destructive to the majority of British people than some of our Monarchs and their minions. Queen Elizabeth II was a shining example of how to be better. | |

Cromwell..short time we were a Republic. As I said totally ambivalent to it. Agree I think Liz to the grand old age of 96 did a stirling job. She must have said to herself many a time, you can choose your friends but not the family or prime ministers. | | | |

Every single passing is a tragedy to somebody. | |

Too true, four independent countries working in a real partnership is where it's at for me. I had and have no real feelings on it, I'd rather there not be a monarchy. I won't be mourning nor will i be joking about it. Someone has died, no matter the circumstance it's a sad occasion for her family and those who knew or respected her. | |
