The most alarming thing I’ve read is GP surgeries being closed and hospital appointments cancelled on Monday.
Does not look good at all.
Come on now this is getting absurd. An old woman died we dont need to literally stop EVERYTHING.
Costing self employed people work is bad enough. This and shutting gps etc is just absurd.
Im not even a staunch republican per se but this is ludicrous.
Monarchist supporters are inflicting severe harm with their bizarre sycophantic cult like fixation on a dead woman who they never knew… it needs to be criticized no matter how unpopular or seemingly illegal it is to do so.
They’re going to be closing down Reddit too as a mark of respect /s
Disgusting stuff. And they wonder why the monarchy is less popular with each passing year.
If you told me that all the people behind these decisions were Republicans who wanted to make the monarchy look bad.
I would totally believe it.
Horrid, imagine having to put off laying a loved one to rest because someone else wholly unrelated to you went and died.
What I don’t understand is why this stuff is still happening. The new King announced he wants the funeral to have minimum disruption on public life I think just yesterday. There has been no guidance like there was during the pandemic on what are essential services. I have to work Monday as part of the aviation network.
Frankly I think this is people just trying to get the bank holiday off!
At this point I am expecting to shut down and have the day off too.
I’m a paramedic.
This is so disrespectful. Imagine losing a child and your local council says you can’t bury them because some 96 year old woman died in Scotland.
Get the fuck out of here.
Kidding, right? Seriously, everything is put on hold?
Hope no one have to deliver a baby on that day, they’re screwed
Okay, she’s dead. It’s sad. I get it. By all means, mourn her.
But please do not inflict upon other people’s lives and grief. Imagine having to move a funeral of a loved one because someone who didn’t even know you existed has died.
That is just pure madness.
Imagine having a funeral cancelled because your relative isn’t as important as someone else who died. To the point you are told that it would be seen as a mark of disrespect to bury your loved one on the same day as someone much richer, more famous and powerful. Sickening.
Well let’s face it, most of the systems in Wales were crappy before this, so it wouldn’t get any better.
But it’s okay because something something tourism something something
Disgusting this is, i assume the death of your own family and personal grievances is more important to you not the royals.
I know its sad but seriously though why cry over someone you dont know and go to the extremes of standing outside in the pouring rain for hours or maybe even a day to see a coffin.it goes to show how disturbing the people are.
Why? I don’t even think the Queen would want this nonsense.
I bet if you asked the Queen when she was alive about all what would happen she would of been appalled at it. The woman worked until her last breath, she would hate all this closure.
I’d turn and be like “yh that’s fine, well rearrange the date, can we also rearrange the payment and bill to the royal family”
I liked the queen and I’m sorry she died but this is bullshit. People shouldn’t have their lives put on hold because the queen died, people should be able to go about their lives as usual regardless of who died
Talk about making a bad situation worse for people.
‘Sorry your loved one died…but the queen comes first’
This is the reality of a monarchy. You’re a piece of shit compared to them.
Think of it as Christmas Day. Most services are closed. Some of us benefit, lots don’t.
fuck all these other dead people, this other ones more important. I don’t think ol’ Lizzie would’ve liked how this is going down.
Even Pizza Express, Woking will be closed for the funeral.
>An update to all our customers.
>As a mark of respect, PizzaExpress restaurants will open from 3pm on Monday 19th September to allow our team to pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen.
Fuck that. She’s no more important than anyone else’s family member.
Wife’s midwife appointment cancelled. Luckily already rearranged but still ridiculous.
Anyone acting like the mourning is about respect is lying through their teeth. This is the clearest sign it’s about superiority – Everyone else dead is treated as lesser.
“I know that your lungs are failing, and you are ready to die, but we can’t have that today. We can schedule you in for 3 weeks from now, how is that?”
This is taking the piss now. People had to get time off work, sort out arrangements, book a slot etc… Just to be told that they can’t put their loved ones to rest because of the queen’s funeral. I doubt this is what the Queen would have wanted.
I work in a cemetery and we are still doing funerals. I think it would be really unfair to make people cancel funerals. We just get an extra days annual leave instead.
Maybe ask staff if they want to watch the funeral before just closing everything.
“I know you’re all grieving the loss of your loved one but olease don’t forget that someone more important died recently and it would be offensive to them to have grieving for someone else happen on the same day”
If this is what we do when a tourist attraction dies I hate to think whats going to happen if Nessie washes up on the shore of Loch Ness.
“As a mark of respect for someone neither of us has ever met, we’re keeping your gran in the fridge for another day”
I really don’t understand this,Queen Elizabeth,to me anyway,represented the ultimate keep calm and carry on,I really don’t think she would of expected funerals and medical appointments to be cancelled,there’s showing respect and honour in someone’s memory and then there’s being fanatical.Essential services like that should not be cancelled.
Ungrateful plebs, don’t they know more important people have died?
This is fucking insane and I say that as someone who isn’t against the royals.
As much as I’ve never been a fan of the monarchy, I’ve never been a card carrying republican, this is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth. A bank holiday at such short notice is a ridiculous idea that’s causing real harm to people.
If if wasn’t so bloody tone deaf .. you couldn’t make it up could you !!!!!
My great aunt’s funeral got rescheduled because of this, I can’t imagine the amount of stress it caused my cousins to rearrange it all but thankfully we have a date. It sucks that this is all happening.
Even in death she still finds a way to piss off the public
I’m not a republican at all (tilt more towards being a monarchist) and been having some interesting disagreements on here with redditors but I have to agree this is pretty bad.
Keep GPs open and hospital appointments continuing.
Now that’s showing some disrespect. Every one of these people is as important as the Queen is to their friends and family.
I understand the difficulties of a last minute bank holiday but there didn’t need to be one and the queen’s funeral could have been on the weekend- these were events that could have been anticipated and avoided.
***Fuck your dead family, fuck your dead friends.***
***The Queen has died. Have some respect and let her have the best burial a person could have FIRST before putting you in the ground.***
Is what that’s sounding like to me.
So sorry to all the ones that have passed since she has. I’m sorry if you can’t see your loved one get buried because of someone you have never met. I can’t imagine the extra day of waiting with all that pent up sadness.
Edit: Anyone who is a fan of what monarchy is doing, you know, avoiding 40% inheritence taxes, having a pedophile appointed as the temporary step in for the king, having many businesses close. Center parcs did a u-turn, most wont. You can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine
