Nothing now

 One of the problems I have, with this lengthy mourning of the Queen we've just had, is that, when you lose someone, it feels like the world should stop. It's so so weird and alienating in your grief that it does not. The classic poem of Auden's "Stop all the clocks" is meaningful to so many for that reason, I guess. 

Yet here we are where the UK & UK media pretty much did stop. 

And that just pisses me off to be honest.

Let's not even go into the wastefulness of the money spent on her funeral and all the bollockry surrounding it, nor the fact there's no inheritance tax for Charles. 

I am increasingly in favour of abolition of the monarchy. 

At least you can vote out elected heads of state.
