My personal "favourite" comment

Just wanted to add, its ok to mourn the loss of a strong woman, even if the firm she represented and the work she did was wrong in so many ways. Rarely is any single person all good or all bad. She was a bad ass during WWII, doing work “girls” didn’t do up till then. She led a very disciplined life and worked tirelessly at her role. Unfortunately, the work she did, and so much of what she represented was painfully awful. Just goes to remind us that being a strong female is not enough if the way you live causes harm. My wish is that in her next go round at life she learns to take her strength and apply it for the good of other people.

      Basically every thing positive I've heard or read about the Queen in the last week is just astonishingly untrue and provable by the endless books and articles written about her over the years by the very sycophantic royalists who at the time thought it was oh so whimsical or whatever.

        I think a bunch of adults desperately want real life to be like a Disney movie where the Royals are noble and just, from the princes and princesses to the queens and kings. So they latch on to the real life royal family in the UK as some last bastion of hope

      hey hey most of their income wasn't based on taxpayer money, but merely from rents extracted from their vast capital and land holdings as well as bribes from business magnates and dark money networks, which ultimately *might * have come from tax-paying citizens, but also from tax-evading bourgeoise and aristocrats.
