Queen Elizabeth II (Update: the Queen has passed)

Gee, I wonder if his Twitter username kind of explains or describes his reasoning or contempt for a large portion of UK's public grief in losing a well-respected, well-liked monarch who reigned longer than any other British monarch/English king/Queen since Anglo-Saxon era when the country was split up and ruled by four regional monarchs/rulers: Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria, and East Anglia after last Roman forces left Britannia in 410 C.E.

@Christhemarxist kind of gives it away.

I'm sure the monarchy isn't so fragile that it can't withstand the comments of a single individual on Twitter. And to be fair he has a point. The coverage on BBC has been remarkable in its insipidness. I guess it makes a change from the usual fawning rubbish of Jenny Bond running around telling everyone how remarkable the Queen Mother's hat is (she was a multi billionaire with access to every designer in the world after all). The coverage is hardly insightful about the future ramifications for the monarchy/world politics.

And anyway it's called free speech. People have a right to voice their opinions whatever their politics. Any decent country should not only tolerate, but welcome, criticism, it's what makes a country progress and retain good values. If I have to put up with Tommy Robinson and his fascist hate mob invading towns to stir up hated of minorities and muslims I'm sure the establishment can manage a few voices criticising the richest, most influential and most powerful family in Europe for a few moments :rolleyes:.
