King Charles III

[millertop]

Charles to be proclaimed king in first televised ceremony
Charles III will formally be proclaimed king at 10:00 BST on Saturday in a ceremony at St James's Palace.

It will be the first time the Accession Council is televised.

Charles became king automatically at the moment his mother died, so the council proclamation will be a ceremonial one.

It will be attended by Privy Councillors (a group made up of senior politicians), the Lord Mayor of the City of London, and other senior officials.

Flags will fly at full mast for 24 hours to honour the new king, before returning to half mast.

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.

What a surprise, Wendun is back to tell us all how stupid we all are,what a vile little man you are.

I respect that some see things differently but really it's just a chance to talk about themselves not about the event itself

" I'm a vegan"
" I'm republican"

Etc etc

Not about the topic and not about respect just a chance to talk about themselves

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.

Elite Pie, how's things pal? Yes I easily recall you and actually have seen your postings of late on other topics elsewhere. Your lot have had a decent start to the season with four wins and three draws and sat third in the table, well done so far.

On reflection I recall your regular respected visits on here yet it seems so long ago now. I was once ridiculed by some that use to post on here, when I remember making a stand against County by charging home fans a fiver but us visiting Millers £20. I did along with some other mates go and sit in your family stand, it's only when we scored and we jumped up celebrating, that we were asked to leave which we did without any fuss or trouble. Just trying to prove a point thats all.

You're right about our footballing clubs going in opposite directions. It's our current Chairman we have to be grateful of, for our existence in the league. Had he not stepped in when he did, lord knows where we'd be now. Couple that to Evo and our current super Manager Warney, we have done really well over the last few years.

The last game I attempted to get to a few years ago at yours was the FA Cup game where we won 3-0 but, I got stuck at work up in Leeds and couldn't get there, shame. We didn't get much further though as per our cup runs .

Good luck for the season pal and who knows, we may well meet up in the leagues again someday, however, you've got some leagues to climb first though

As a bit ot Princess Anne. What a woman, doesn't get any stick from the papers, basically because she would get them by the throat.

I'm not going to pretend I think a system where the head of state is determined by who exits a specific uterus first is anything other than primitive and should be consigned to the dustbin of history and replaced with something merit-based.

Not normally what you left-wing types go for that is it? It's normally identity politics-based, and how many boxes the person ticks.

Yes the thread is about King Charles who is in mourning for his mother the Queen and addressing the nation

Why would you have no respect for the dead and the mourning?

How would you feel if people came out and said they hate your family and didn’t respect your families death?

At no stage have I expressed disrespect for Charles other than saying that he will never be able to compare to the Queen for me. Hardly controversial. If you re-read I've not expressed a bad thing about him.

Also, your last sentence is a bit of a daft comparison. My family isn't claiming that they're divinely selected to be superior to you and your family and that they should be entitled to your unquestioning servitude and loyalty, as well as entitled to be paid millions every year from working-class people while living life as billionaires.

If my family business were to claim all those things and reap all the benefits of such a ridiculous system you'd probably have a few choice words to say if you hadn't been brainwashed into thinking it was a good idea.

Again, I've expressed no disrespect to any of the individuals involved on a personal level. Just to the ridiculous notion that they are in some way superior to everyone else.

What a daft comment. I'm all about meritocracy.

Clearly I’ve been brought up diff to you, if any coffin procession passes me I then I stand still until it has passed.
