Pointing out colonialism is not hate , also pointing out imperialism is not hate

Notice how "free speech" advocates don't like when others say something they disagree with .."now is not the time" huh

Where do I start?

Yes she comes across as a lovely old lady, but lets look at the cold hard facts

She inherited her wealth and position

Her family's wealth has come from British colonies and abuse of people all over the world for hundreds of years

Her forces have blood on their hands all over the world

She has been able to have laws changed before been passed in the UK to protect her and her families assets

Her son Prince Andrew, let us say no more

Yes she was a mother, a grandmother, a great grand mother etc, but as a figure to admire, how can anyone admire someone who shields a paedophile, who avoids taxes on her inherited billions while so many of her subjects live in poverty, whos forces have raped and murdered people all over the world.

Sorry but the world would be a far better place without the monarchy and if the monarchy's assets were used to pay reparations to all the countries they have destroyed over the centuries, and the UK were to become a true republic, with its 4 member nations having the right to leave the union if they wish, not needing the approval of the English government.

She was not expected to inherit said position - nor did she want it. ::

She was Third in line of succession as a child - until the very reasonable expectation that the Then King

would have offspring , and Then she never ever would’ve ascended to the head of an ancient monarchy .

She was a carefree young girl , having received an ‘education’ that ‘nice and proper girls’

would’ve received at the time : meaning No practical or empirical education atall !

Then by unforeseen circumstances of abdication and death , She was thrust in to The position .

She was a person with a strong sense of fulfilling obligations and to live up to expectations ,

to fulfill a mandated Duty — she was Not born into it ; she had a carefree life !

But all respects to her for having stepped up to what was Needed , what was Required ,

and she never looked back ( perhaps in her private time she might’ve wondered : what Could've been ! ) ,

she fulfilled the duties and obligations and expectations of her station - as best as Any other could .

My respects to the Lady — she worked to the very day of her passing .



/ I take no politics into my estimation of this woman . She had a role in an ancient institution —

that she fulfilled better and for Longer than Any other x

Show me a country that has No blood on their hands ! xx

: This a woman that was Thrust onto the world stage and lived up to her position ,

carried it out with grace and unfaltering decorum .



Are there faults as a human being ? I’m sure there Are .

For one : she Did act shabbily on a human level regarding Lady Di’s affairs And upon Diana’s death .

For second : shielding Prince A in light of criminal accusations !

: How do you ride Two ( or More ! ) horses with the one behind !? Should this be overlooked ? No !

Surely she was far from perfect — is there Anyone who IS !?

She was hardworking , sure she had many regrets , sure she had many awful choices she had to make .

But she was a dignified human being , and kudos to her for standing on her feet to the very last day of her life !


/ No politics xx

[Stephanie]

*Not ‘sexual affairs’ , but Lady Di’s , her grandsons’ Mother’s private life Affaires

post Charles’ tapped phone calls to Camilla etc. : tremendous failing in abandoning

Lady Di - her daughter in law - when Charles’ infidelity and duplicitousness and betrayal

came to light . ::: but How do you ride more than One horse with the one behind !?

: Her job was the preservation of the institution of the Monarchy , and everything else

had must come after.

I’d like to believe that these Choices would’ve been Difficult for her . I’d like to think

she had Empathy and that these were Hard , Difficult choices — we’ll never know x

[Stephanie]

I think the Queen did a lot of good coming to Ireland

I wouldn't like to have been the Queen or even a queen for that matter.
Going to visit escorts would be an issue if I were

lol 😂 : she near ruined a full day’s bookings for me when she came to town !!

My first apartment was right along the route her procession / car convoy ::

I had one gentleman stuck 20 yards from my gate for Some time , unable to cross

the road !! Was frantically texting calling : “I’m Right Here !” X

: he Did manage to come across the road in time and we had a splendid time ! X

Came back many times after , we always had a good laugh about it ! X

: Oh ! The Queen x

Now is not the time

Hospital appointments cancelled because of Queen’s funeral
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/nhs...-bank-holiday/

Exclusive: Thousands of patients waiting for surgery, maternity checks and some cancer care will be affected
Thousands of patients have had hospital appointments cancelled because of the Queen’s funeral, open Democracy can reveal.
Some NHS trusts have said that all non-urgent procedures and clinic appointments will be postponed, including hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery, maternity checks and some cancer treatments.
Many patients had been waiting months for surgery – only to have it cancelled a week beforehand. In a letter to one patient, the NHS blamed “unforeseen circumstances”.
Doctors at one central London hospital trust were told: “The day of the State Funeral will be treated as a bank holiday so please go ahead and start rescheduling patients.”
It follows the announcement that the UK will have a bank holiday on September 19 to mark the Queen's funeral. But government guidelines says: "There is no statutory entitlement to time off," adding that this is "a matter for discussion between individuals and their employer".
The decision to cancel appointments comes as hospital waiting lists hit an all-time high: almost 6.8 million people were waiting for appointments at the end of July. More than 377,000 of these patients had been waiting for more than a year.
And NHS data shows that nearly 40% of cancer patients had their treatment delayed beyond the two-month maximum.
Speaking to openDemocracy, a pregnant woman said her fetal scan at a different London hospital trust has been cancelled as a result of the Queen’s funeral. When she tried to phone up to reschedule her appointment, she was placed on hold for four hours.
“I’m really disappointed,” she said. “Yes, it’s a routine scan, but that’s another week or two until I’m seen and wondering whether my baby is healthy – which means quite a lot of anxiety, sitting and waiting.”
A text message from the NHS this morning told her: “We regret that due to unforeseen circumstances, your appointment to see a member of the team in the Fetal Medicine Centre on Monday 19th September has been cancelled. A new appointment date will be rescheduled shortly.”
Announcing the decision to cancel appointments on Monday, NHS bosses at one trust said that if any doctors were “willing to operate” they would be “supported”.
openDemocracy has seen evidence of at least two other trusts that have made similar announcements. Asked what message NHS England would give to the patients affected, a spokesperson said only that trusts were advised to inform patients in advance.
A doctor at one trust told openDemocracy: “I imagine most of the doctors would be happy to just ignore the bank holiday, but we are totally reliant on a huge team of people paid minimum wage and treated like shit like porters and cleaners, and I imagine they will take a bank holiday if offered – as I would in their position.”
Last week, the chief executive of the King’s Fund, Richard Murray, warned that the NHS was “being shaken to its foundations as we head into the winter months in the grip of a worsening staffing crisis”.
Nigel Edwards, the chief executive of the Nuffield Trust health think tank, said the health service was in “critical condition” with waiting times “worse than they were in previous winters”.
