Kinda surprised I haven't received any emails from Kamala Harris or John Fetterman trying to fundraise off this

"The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has sent his condolences to Britain after the “irreparable loss” of Queen Elizabeth II."

Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, wrote on Twitter: “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered as a stalwart of our times.

“She provided inspiring leadership to her nation and people.

“She personified dignity and decency in public life. Pained by her demise. My thoughts are with her family and people of UK in this sad hour.”

Fans in all the right places.

The British Emporium is keeping its door open all night to welcome people who just need to be comforted and talk about their love of ol' Liz (and perhaps by a nice Union Jack throw blanket while you're here).

How long is the football cancelled for? I thought it was just this weekend but many people are saying it could be at least two weeks?

“A determination regarding the remainder of this weekend's scheduled fixtures will be made following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS and other sports on Friday morning," said an EFL statement.

I don't know about the prem but the EFL have had a review of "official mourning guidance". When her dad choked it football fixtures went ahead 2 days later.

they were made of sterner stuff in those days

plus i think people would've legit rioted

tbf i think the moment any of this bullshit personally inconveniences me i'm gonna throw an absolute shitfit

So do American ex-presidents get an invite to the funeral? Can't see why they would but the ultra-traditional 'rules' seem to be made up on the hoof so anything's on at this stage.

Oh my god how is Trump so good at this?!

wrt to their lack of 'real' powers. They definitely have some.

There was a story this morning about a chip shop in Scotland being decimated after the owner had posted a 'celebratory' pic. Twitter was furiously angry against her, and basically got a crowd to go round and smash the shop windows etc.

Seems to have disappeared otherwise I'd have posted it here

hot damn eccles!

Two 4-0 gubbings in a row and the Queen dying, how much more punishment can the poor old Rangers fans take?

Hold on why is the Last Night of the Proms cancelled? Could have been an orgy of flag fucking the likes of which have never been seen and never will be again.

It's really weird but it has to do with people enjoying some music.

Like football, it must be binned. Work is good though. No days off.

Please be patriotic in a way that doesn't completely fuck the economy, thanks. pic.twitter.com/BtfYxEon0K

Strikes off. Carnival off. What a disgrace.

Regretfully, we have made the decision to cancel Hackney Carnival on Sunday to observe this period of national mourning

We’ll be looking at whether it's feasible to hold Carnival later this year, or if we can showcase the artists’ work in another way pic.twitter.com/XeoTgCYAqu

All for a woman who protected a pedophile.

this is what real cancel culture looks like

the cancellations are absolutely insane and of course will affect those with the least, the most

so a fitting tribute to monarchy then

people should throw street parties all weekend

Lol so true.

Are all these cancellations basically because of the police being redeployed? Surely none of these institutions believe that the public actually would prefer to sit and grieve?

No worries though, the opera's still on.

also i think many orgs are genuinely afraid of getting tabloid-monstered for not doing the "right thing" so they immediately move to what seems the safest performative option

i think there's a firehose of ppl not believing in much of this in private but second-guessingly adapting their public behaviour so as not to be caught out

also

Doesn't even need to be as serious as that, orgs/brands do this for every event regardless. They were doing it for Nick Pope last week

DEEP GLOOM IN LONDON

Places of Amusement All Closed

I like the bit about the dog as well

Wrt unions they are already being monstered by the tabloids but there is a question of declining public support. Though I think it will be harder to maintain as the dispute with the RMT drags on into winter anyway.

Cancelling Hackney Carnival with 24h notice seems a bit shit.
