UK IX: This Economy Will Self-Destruct In...

[Protocol Penguin]

My condolences go out to Germany.

Aargh! Don’t blame German people for the royals! Mrs Penguin gets really riled up when she hears British people say that…

Aargh! Don’t blame German people for the royals! Mrs Penguin gets really riled up when she hears British people speak facts about where the Royal Family originate from.

Corrected.

It certainly does seem as though if there was ever a moment to "firmly suggest" that we should no longer have the royal family, tomorrow might be that moment.

Charles is so old he’ll probably go next week anyway.

[Nu-Eclipse]

Not gonna lie, I'm just waiting for Piers Morgan to publicly accuse Meghan Markle of her murder at this point.

[Neon Ignition]

She's been particularly bad since having COVID in Feb, good job the Tories continued to take it seriou...




... oh yeah...

I just read about the two year programme that BoE will begin now to replace all money with Charle's image


**** me we're a staggeringly ****ing stupid country

That will also include the stamps as well if anyone remembers what stamps look like.

The cost of doing all this will be huge so, particularly at this difficult economic time, why not do it slowly, more naturally, feeding the new coins and bank notes as an when new ones are needed? What is the rush?

The badges in police helmets will have to change too and they’ll need a smaller font to fit c iii r in there. A perfect opportunity to switch to comic sans to put a friendlier face on the British Bobby!

[fishbowlhead]

Why bother changing anything at all to Charles he’s probably going to last a few more weeks.

[Neon Ignition]

Yep, slow roll out to William on everything and Charles can be issued as Limited Edition runs


I'm really - really - really hoping this sets us on the admittedly long road to getting rid of them at last

Just going to pop my mod cap on for a minute.

I get that not everyone is moved by the Queen's death, but there are plenty of people who are.
It might be that they have an attachment to someone who's been a constant their whole life or it could just be that this has reminded them of their own grief of someone else.

IRL, think about who you're speaking to before you tell them your "hot take" and if they would appreciate it or not.

On here, you're free to speak your mind, but have a think about if your post is insensitive and if you should probably keep it to yourself.

Basically, try to have a bit of empathy.

Maybe avoid Twitter.

Maybe avoid Twitter.

I'm not a mod there, but I am here and I just wanted to share with my digital friends that a modicum of restraint might avoid upsetting people. Put yourself in their place for a moment.
