I'll have to pass that advice on to the debt collectors.

*knock knock* ‘hi it’s the electric company. We’re here to turn the electric off’

Person ‘well, it’s the middle of January, it’s effing freezing and I’ve just put me tea on. So not really the time or place is it? Sorry mate.’

The Last Leg on certain individuals getting into the VIP entrance: "interesting how there's a subset of people who love the monarchy, but are really upset that a certain group of people are given special privileges and permissions"

Funniest bit of that to me is those people have earned that to a degree, whereas the monarchy is just a case of falling out of the wrong person.

Just listening in on LBC, tonight. Apparently since the queuing started, around 400 people have required medical attention after being taken ill whilst waiting. Collapsing and fainting seem to be the most common causes.

Given it's rather cold tonight, I hope people are wrapped up warm!

If Beckham was a true patriot and an elite mourner he'd have waited until the queue was 30 hours and then joined. 

Joining at 12hrs a bit lefty woke in my view 

Probably would have been more fitting had he joined the queue then just as he got to the front, it had closed 6:30 on Monday morning.

Tbf he seems to have judged it perfectly.

Just look at this thread for example, most seem impressed that he didn't skip a queue. Well done Becks, don't even care that you've been a shill for Qatar anymore.

Susanna Reid also queued up with her mum.

That one is even more interesting considering that she works for ITV in a role where she could be considered a journalist as well as a presenter. While Holly & Phil are just light entertainment presenters who got given press passes so they could skip the queue.

It's as if people want him to get a medal for not skipping a queue, a bit like him.

Literally came in to say the same thing. It’s amazing how not jumping a queue makes up for pocketing £150m to help sportwash Qatar.

On a serious note... I couldn't care less if he's given a knighthood personally, I just find it baffling how so many (generally) level headed folk can't see through what he does. 

Maybe if another email is leaked they'll realise what a scumbag he is.

Mind, am surprised that his wife wasn't there because she's a bugger for self promotion as well. Maybe's she couldn't stand mixing with the plebs, though?

People queuing up to see a coffin of a person that treat them as 2nd class citizens outraged to find other people also treat them like 2nd class citizens. 

One day people will put 2 and 2 together and realise that having the **** taken out of them by these people is part of their daily lives. If it takes stuff like people jumping in front of them in a queue then so be it I suppose; it just seems so trivial by comparison.

Is she? I haven’t seen or heard anything from Victoria Beckham for about 15 years. I don’t read Hello and OK though so I’ll have to bow to your superior knowledge on this.

It's not actually true tbh, David Beckham is easily the more public of the two. 

Having crazy spurious articles written about you isn't the same as self promotion

Didn’t realise it was Owain Glyndwr day today, pretty ludicrous day to cancel celebrations for King Charles to visit Wales.

It was Yesterday, But yes. 

It was almost certainly coincidence, but can understand why some were absolutely outraged and felt it was done as a deliberate sense of antagonism.

Thought it was yesterday? A section of Welsh Nationalists believe it was deliberate that he visited on that day, as some way of delivering an insult or message. Feels like one of those bad coincidences someone should have noticed imo.

Why are people queue jumping. Everyone should do the same things Beckham and Suzanna Reid did

It was indeed.

And yes, I think it was likely a coincidence and they should probably have shifted things around in the schedule. But I can see why people are upset.

Seems a fitting way to tribute a woman who got to jump just about every queue on every event she ever attended to be fair.

Let's be honest, Charles had no idea what day it was.

Just got an email saying HMV are closing their stores on Monday. I thought they'd closed all their stores like 10 years ago.

Nah I still buy CDs so pop in now and then this week was pretty stacked for new music actually so might go over soon

The pair of them have always courted publicity. It's how they manage to stay relevant for the media.
