That is a massive pillar of what was left of international respect for Britain gone IMHO. Internationally, countries held her in huge esteem, that carried through to the country itself. It will be most unlikely to be replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxfisherman Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The BBC coverage is awful, ITV little better. C4 is bearable, but I'm surprised there is coverage at all. I expected a picture of the queen "RIP HRH QEII 26-22" and some sad music for several days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree she’s a great loss to the UKs reputation and image - we’ve now got a complete buffoon called King Charles and an incompetent Prime Minister like Liz Truss to represent Britain on the global stage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American coverage is interesting, watching the feeling from over there is much more interesting than watching the BBC etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lived on my own and was upset by this then the pub would have probably been my go to to share the moment with others and have a bit of company. Turfing people out is madness, and what does it achieve? Edited September 8, 2022 by Asthehills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will just have to turn the TV off and open a bottle of wine instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just now, Roxanne said: I'm never going to be able to hear 'King Charles' without hearing the word 'Spaniel' after it. Maybe that's just me. "Spaniel" is not the word that pops into my head. Propriety prevents me from clarifying further, but it starts with a "c" and has an "n" and a "t" too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
