Notable event

 So, the Queen is dead. 

I was actually a bit sad about it - I think it's the sweet old lady vibe you get looking at the last picture of her, and I think it's more or less normal to relate things like this to your own experiences of bereavement. I empathise with humans losing humans. 

But she lived a life of immense privilege with revolting amounts of wealth and status, while the monarchy is barely questioned and now people make endless mouth-noises to venerate her for making an (arguably) decent job as a figurehead. 

And now it's going to be wall to wall Royal rubbish for a fortnight. (And here I am adding to the roar).

I reckon she hung on to see Boris out the door, although seeing who comes next probably was enough to finish anyone off. 

I was really pissed off by this little nugget in the BBC live stream leading up to the announcement

Oh is THAT why he's disgraced?! What the fuck, you simpering sycophants.
