i am making jokes but i am also feeling indescribable rage at the prospect of millions of pounds of taxpayer money being spent on a funeral and a coronation and changing currency while working class people are relying on food banks and can’t heat their homes over winter

Try to have some respect the queen just DIED. It's not like she was evil or anything

And why should I do that for the head of a family that oversaw the British Empire's legendarily brutal concentration camps in colonialist Kenya during the 1952-1960 Mau Mau rebellion, has personally and repeatedly shielded credibly accused rapist Prince Andrew and tried to get the scandal to go away, personally paid Andrew's financial settlement while the family treated Meghan Markle terribly and gave her none of the same protection, exerted a huge amount of control over UK public finances without any transparency or disclosure (while also receiving huge amounts of that money), got to personally edit laws according to her likes and dislikes, enjoyed sweeping legal immunities that are described as a "threat to UK democracy," is the most visible figurehead of British colonialism even as her descendants put on a horribly tone-deaf Caribbean tour (twice in one year!) that was basically about unreconstructed imperial imagery of the kind that is poisoning Britain, while the entire country buys into the fantasy that she is an impartial, uninvolved, kindly and benevolent grandmotherly figure....?

Nah.

The Queen is Dead

Crabs rule the day, memes will be falling from the sky!

While it may be a reason for many to celebrate, there are a few things to remember:

  • the UK government is already in turmoil
  • there are already advertising campaigns centered around how eating moldy food isn’t that bad, and how cuddling pets in the dead of winter can help people avoid freezing to death
  • the cost of what’s coming next will not come from the royal treasury - it’s paid for by taxes
  • during the next month plus, while people are distracted, it will be the perfect time for the far right people in government to push through some rather extreme measures without pushback
  • even more taxes will have to go toward changing the postage, money, etc.

People are going to die because of this. Not just the queen - she’s already gone - but regular old people.

"many people will find this disorientating" yeah the poor working class who will be crippled by how much focus and money will be put into the official mourning of her death so maybe in honour of her "dignity and decency" you might fucking. idk. help some people out? spend some of the riches of buckingham palace on civil support?

Pretty sure if you sell some of her jewelry you could pay for heating for people for quite awhile.

it is also worth noting that this will be used to cover up the inaction on the cost of living crisis. expect a bunch of "uk coming together to mourn the queen" bullshit soon when families are choosing between heating their homes and feeding their kids

not to mention how the funeral costs will show just where the country's priorities are but any political figures pointing that out will be demonised for being anti-monarchy
