    There's no time the BBC is quite so exposed as a state broadcaster as when it's mandating universal national grief over the death of a royal.

    I wished no harm upon the Queen, but her death was met with a shrug in my house. She meant no more to me than any other 96-year-old lady. I'm ready to carry on with my life. But apparently no comedy shows are allowed on the BBC for the next 12 days, and anyone not howling with grief is treated as some sort of treasonous freak.

    It really shows up what an organ of the establishment it is. When a royal pops their clogs, all pretence is abandoned. Know your place, uppity oiks.
    if the BBC doesn't do exactly that, the Daily Maul and all the other tory lying cunts who want to kill the BBC off will scream to the rafters about 'disrespect' etc

    Intradesting, so the BBC is now under defacto control of the Daily Mail?

    They're a publicly funded media who act with a complete disregard for the public who fund them.

    Agreed. Not an easy speech to give at all but thought he was spot on with it.

    The few pleasures of this place is being able to say what I think

    But what a big girls blouse, I thought he was going to start blubbing

    What I liked about the Queen is she kept her emotions in check

    But I guess that’s not the style in this brave new world where it’s not done to tell people to man up

    A tad harsh. He has just lost his mother.

    This is not something that has happened in the age of social media. Let’s not forget when the Queen found out about the death of her father it took several days for her to get back to the UK so had time to prepare without constant news footage etc watching every step whereas Charles is having to make a speech less then 24 hours after his mother died.

    Most people would be close or in tears when talking about the death of a parent

    Strange. You generalise me as approaching every argument in black and white terms, yet what you are actually doing is forming a conclusion while openly admitting you skip all steps that might support it. My opinions are based on principle and, as such, can only be black and white. There is no other way to appreciate or apply a principle, or else it is not a principle. That's why I choose my subjects carefully and discard the rest. How often do you see me engaged in the trivia others enjoy (and each to their own)? So yes, I am black and white when it matters, and silent on the rest. This is where your lack of hypothesis, method and results understandably lets down your conclusion so badly. Within my "rants, diatribes and homilies" you might find some evidence underpinning my opinion, but who has time to look at the details when snap conclusions are so cheap and can be had with so little effort? After all, were you to dig deeper and engage in honest debate you might actually have to express your own position and support it with reasoned argument. That takes effort and you already admit you are here for a laugh that anonymity affords you without consequence.

    Even so, I have piqued the interest of the great non-debater. Should I be privileged?

    Perhaps you inform yourself of current events in the same way you approach debate? And that's why you can't answer your own question about Charles III. This king, contrary to the very nature of the monarchy since it was reformed, will be a political king, just as he has been a political prince for decades. The reason the majority has enduring respect for Elizabeth is because she fulfilled her role and executed her duty with strict impartiality and within the explicit confines of her office. That will not be the case with this king. When enough people grow sick of a politician they can get rid at the ballot box. Not so with an opinionated king who has long operated against the interests of the nation and in service to the globalist agenda. When enough people get sick of this king, for his disrespect for the nation and the office, a great deal of resentment will grow because we can't get rid of the prick. Not unless we get rid of the entire monarchy. And this is where this king is most likely to lead us. Some will cheer the notion, but they don't understand the bonds that hold this nation together (for better or worse) and have no appreciation of the upheaval that can follow fundamental shifts in culture and ideology. Russia was a civilised nation before the Bolsheviks then it became something entirely different.

    My hope is this king remembers his place and his duty and rows back from the absolute shite he has been shovelling for years. Can't see it happening, not having witnessed the insanity of Davos, for example.
