Wavelberry Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I am convinced she's been dead for a while or at least terminal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Moores Mum Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Doubt they're cancelling a bank holiday this close whatever happens. Might be a joint mourning/celebration of her life day instead... Should be extra BHs anyway. We're screwed over in this country for public holidays as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
profii Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The Queen is hanging on for the jubilee because she knows we get a day off for that and then when she finally does go, we will get more days off She's doing it for us, I take it back, my indifference has moved to I guess she is alright after all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdBed Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'd think transfer of power (an the inherent instability that comes with it) is too important for the status of a BH to factor into a conversation of when to announce her passing. To not announce it within hours would have significant ramifications both domestically and internationally, so there would have to be a very serious reason to hold back from telling us loyal subjects. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assumes that the relevant people don't already know, although I appreciate that at this point I am treading the fine line between believing that the odd secret is kept from us all Vs full on tin foil hat.

leftback in the changing room Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 For goodness sake your maj, nobody would care if you turn up at these events in a wheelchair. If anything it'll enhance your reputation.
