I don't quite see that. Covid killed an awful lot of people and gave many more a long term illness. Understandably a large number of people were worried about catching it or passing it on.
Anti-vax loons and "it's no worse than flu" chunterers made full use of freedom of speech and action, even though it had some entirely expected consequences. I don't remember any of them being arrested.
This is an entirely different thing, imho. Where I'd agree though is that the FA, EFL etc., clearly has its head up its arse. Did we really expect anything better from them though?

I'm talking about when it got stupid like the police fining people for walking in the countryside or the stuff that didn't make any sense that looked like it was done just so it could be said "We Did It".
Same with some of the media shit.

I agree with them, it's absolutely despicable that they played the same time that all the other sports were playing without consequence

I’ll quote the late Robin Williams.
It’s like partial circumcising. Either go all the way or forget it.
I’m sure it’s just coincidental that what’s viewed as more elitist sports went ahead while the sport of the plebs had to cancel in respect and face the law if they didn’t.

No sport was forced to close. By law, do you mean the Football Authorities? In hindsight it was a pathetic decision to cancel the matches on Saturday. The EFL and Premier League did’nt think it through.

Christ, looks like they did - ITV and Channel 4 among those axing adverts after the Queen’s death

It’s a blessing not having to listen to Keith Lemon scream Foxy Bingo or 32 Red Casino at 200 decibels for a few days.

I'm a little surprised that some of the main channels have gone back to normal programming, I was expecting it to be wall to wall for at least a week. The benefit of having so many channels now means you can cater for people who just want to watch the Chase rather than mournhub ( © someone on Twitter)

I take Nick's point, without completely agreeing perhaps...
I wonder if this endless media fawning and overblown corporate wailing is going to have unintended consequences.
I've gone from "don't necessarily agree but no harm in showing some respect", through "this is getting a bit much now", to "FFS where do I sign up to be a republican!".

Spinning it on its head though, I just ate a bar of chocolate, because I believe that is what the Queen would have wanted.Maybe we can start reporting our neighbours who have smiled too?

I still think a lockdown until every person has filled a 2L bottle with tears.

Not enough tears - 4L or a minimum of 2 full days crying corroborated by both neighbours

Government looking at lifting caps on bankers bonuses.
Activities it's disrespectful to engage in following the Queens death - kids football
Activities it's not disrespectful to engage in following the Queens death - enabling rampant capitalism.

Starmer's suit clearly isn't black enough.
Do we really want to risk putting the country into the hands of an obviously disrespectful, neo-marxist, republican revolutionary? I think not.
You know what, it was wonderful for the brief time allotted.
The use of something quieter between segments or lets look at the weather on BBC news 24 instead of the usual klaxon like bursts of

Yet another unhinged article - Harry and Meghan hold hands throughout Westminster Hall
I wonder why they didn’t dedicate an article to the other couples holding hands? Hmmm.

I can see why they stopped Harry wearing military uniform - the dimwit would probably have worn his Nazi one
One of the consequences will be, it'll give Liz and Kwasi the opportunity to say 'we can't help out with any energy bills yet as we are still in mourning'. What a win as soon as she's PMI take Nick's point, without completely agreeing perhaps...

People are still trying to work out why Edward A) has a dress uniform when he never finished his training. And B) what did he get medals for? Best suggestion I’ve heard so far is that they were participant medals from It’s a Royal Knockout.
