Must want attention. It’s who can be the most offensive. Most are foreign as well. Embarrassing.

Yes I've noticed that, bit odd isn't it.

Alain has posted RIP on Facebook - hopefully he won't get the sack

Because the Queen is Dead.

Yep, so all the radio stations are paying their respects to her.

 

[Anon of Manchester]

Just like you won’t be hearing ‘Another one bites the dust’ by Quee, you won’t be hearing this, or probably any other Smiths song on the radio in the UK for the next 10 or so days.

I’m spending the afternoon and evening in a hipster coffee shop (Fuglen) that turns into a cocktail bar in the evenings. Ten minutes after the announcement - lo and behold - they played The Queen Is Dead on the «musikkanlegg». So that was quite clever.

if you dont have something good to say about somebody then dont say anything.

I'm sad to hear the news of Queen Elizabeth's passing.

My condolences to those who loved, admired and respected her.

Same here, well said Alain.

The media won't write about it, but she was evil towards the catholics in Ireland.

Her visit to Ireland was one of the most successful visits she ever did. She was massively welcomed by the Irish people and she was the only monarch to ever visit.

As also backed by the tributes coming from Ireland.

Is that from Morrissey’s family album?

Although I have despised the Royal family, and what it stands for since a lad in shorts, I can’t help feeling a little sad at the death of a woman, who has shown courage, leadership and Damn bloody hard work.

If there are......they all deserve to be shot.

The British tried that for hundreds of years - it tended not to work that well. Which is why I imagine you'll find it hard to get to the bar in some parts of Liverpool or Glasgow, or West Belfast or Dungiven or Newry tonight...

 

[The Wild Turkey]

RIP Elizabeth
She was Queen for 70 years.
That's a heck of a service.

Is a certain song getting radio time in the UK?

I’m sure a memo went out with a ban list.

 

[T. H. Auden]

I’m sure a memo went out with a ban list.

This is most likely

As much as you may hate the institution of the royal family, the Queen was still a human being at the end of the day, so hopefully Morrissey won't be publicly celebrating someone's death. Maybe his own mother's passing will have taught him some empathy - we'll see.

Yes I've noticed that, bit odd isn't it.

It's not so odd if you factor in the perspective from outside. America is a wasteful nation, but at least it can be said of us that we don't spend money propping up a needless, absurd, and ceremonial monarchy. The royals, at £102.4 million per year on the taxpayer dime, are frequently said to be one of the biggest welfare families in the world. What service do they provide to justify the expense?

Thats fair enough Carlisle and its great that you appreciate her hard work and dedication to our nation, she was a fabulously hard working woman and must have been in terribly poor health when she met with the exiting and new PM only 2 days ago.
