Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

baffled ... I wonder how many did it without posting to social media at some point 

That's what I wonder... I only know one person who's been who's a friend of my Mrs and its been plastered across his twitter/instagram/Facebook for days. I doubt he'd have bothered if it wasn't for the likes.

The comparison to queueing for glastonbury is a nonsense even if we weren't on a festival forum... you could just as easily say 'people fly for 14 hours to Thailand so why can't they queue for 14 hours to see the queens coffin'. Because one is fun and one is to tick/see some strange box.

For some it might be that. For some there is the possibility that it is actually something more profound. We can all take the piss out of the sad fuckers queueing for hours to see an empty box with a crown on it, but they're still doing it, and it isn't all just for likes.

That’s how you see it because you like Glastonbury, some might not. That’s the point it doesn’t mean it’s anything negative or mean those people deserve the bile that’s been spewed by some here in recent days.

We don’t know the reasons people are doing it so a little empathy and kindness is surely the right way to go.

London looks a bit mental. You wouldn't even know about any of it in Manchester, apart from the odd black and white pic of Liz.

Can confirm I've been out in London all weekend and completely avoided anything to do with the fucking queen.

Also I've never queued for Glastonbury either. Life is too short.

I’m looking forward to when the Royals aren’t being discussed all the time, they bring out such sheer emotion from either side and I don’t really know why.

You just don't like it cause A) you are a monarchist. B) it means people are giving you even less attention than usual about your weird Starmer fetish

It’ll be back to cost of living next week, hopefully the same anger will be shared for the government’s plan which puts our bills up even further!

It’s for reasons like this we need a proper plan in place that keeps the energy firms in place. I shudder to think the impact this type of email would do to someone’s mental health.

I wonder how quickly things will return to how they were before queen died.

Fairly quickly I’d say for the majority of people and there’s the mini-budget on Friday.
