King Charles III

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

I’m no royalist but have total respect for Queen Elizabeth and the service she gave to our country. Is now the time to kneel? Not for me.

You’re bang on right. People just can’t be respectful and hold back the crap.

Be thankful how you’ve been brought up because others who believe they are the font of all knowledge will never be enriched in the way you are.

It’s an open discussion message board.

Lest we forget. It’s clear many have.

Exactly

No way in a million years should we be cancelling football matches when a multi-billionaire who has never done anything of note beyond being born privileged dies. It just costs hundreds of thousands of working people money in transport and accommodation costs.

I’ve just been watching about the lives that have been changed in the Princes Trust. How can you say he’s never done anything of note?

I presume you were talking about King Charles considering you’re respect for Queen Elizabeth?

Should say ‘your’ respect.

So where is the place to air your views if you don't follow what the media tell you to follow? I think she has done a great job as queen, but I can't pretend I'm devastated by her death. I reserve devastation for people I'm close to. I would have fully respected a minute's silence before our game tomorrow*, but just can't understand why it's been postponed.

* even though we used to be rivals, your trajectory has gone in a different direction to ours. I used to post a fair bit on this forum when you had a separate gambling board and Time For Ale was one of my all time favourite MAD posters. Maybe Brin will remember me, he always offered his condolences on our demise, and I never doubted he was 100% genuine. I wish I thought the same on much of the faux grief I see about Liz.

Anyway, good luck for the season and if you don't get promoted make sure you take 6 points off Forest next season.

TFA was a good poster Pie. Loves a gamble and I remember well your past contributions you were made very welcome by the vast majority on here. TFA doesnt come on here now, active on FB and runs coaches to our away games from the Bridge Inn..

I was brought up to at times to not say anything if you cant say something nice. Its hrld me in good stead but obviously each to their own!!

Good luck to you and County in all that you do. Had some cracking away days at Nottingham whoever we've been playing!

I'm not against the Royal family got to show respect for their loss. How I see it. They are always in the public eye they are only human won't always get it right.

The freedom of speech thing is raging at the moment.
I agree with it.
However if your going to go round saying exactly what you want when you want there should be consequences.
People will challenge your opinions.
Freedom of speech doesn’t give you the right to not use common decency or just have some manners.
People us it as an excuse to say or act without a thought for other people now that in my book is just wrong.

Some of you lads should get a grip. One poster apparently can't get over the shock of a 96 yo in poor health dying. A bit wimpish.

And you are mainly a dishonest bunch. You rail against posters who you see as disrespectful and that they should keep quiet. Well, I did keep quiet when like most other football sites there was a single thread about the Queen's death.

But, oh no, not good enough for you lot. You start several threads and on each one the same posters tell us how great the Queen was. I only posted - only posted - when the normally sane sota started a thread saying we should all start kneeling and most of you jumped in to agree. One saddo even started rambling about how he kneels for God too. Pathetic.

But when a very few of us suggest it's all a bit OTT you don't like it.

Hardly out of my way, love. I've been posting on here for 18 years.

By the way, I also have that inconvenient thing called a memory. In the aftermath of Diana's death the Queen was said to be callous and uncaring. In the pubs of Rotherham the general opinion was that the monarchy was finished. Most people - probably quite a few on here - said Charles was unfit ever to be king.
But the grazing herd moves on. You forget. You are assiduously prepared by the Palace spin doctors and the royalist media who see the Royal Family as the crucial apex of the pyramid of privilege and inequality that is the hallmark of this society.
