Not much considering how much money she's brought into this country through tourism in 70 years" The Crown Estate made a net profit of £312 million last year, 75 % of which goes direct to the treasury.

Majority of which are a pittance..."Sadly although I do agree. There are so many folk in the UK, and the money pot is only so big  The benefits system was only ever supposed to act as a short term stop gap for those unable to work temporarily, and a longer term support system for those who actually are unable to work to fund themselves. The system is very broken, and there are those who do sadly take advantage to the detriment of those in actual need | |||

"I'm not a royalist but I do think hats off to be fair to the woman. I mean she actively reigned for nearly 71years... No, retiring from Asda for Liz to put up her feet was there? I cannot even fathom the mind numbing boredom of having to appear at crappy events, meeting and greeting folk. Having to smile and be always on top form when I'd probably just want to tell everyone to bugger off, and head home instead " After a hard day's work it's understandable you'd want to tell people to bugger off. But smiling, waving and signing papers was her job. It wasn't after she'd spent 6 hrs on a till at Morrison's. I think the perks of her "job" justified such a heavy burden on her. | |||

"I couldn't care less... Just think how much the funeral is going to cost, and then the Coronation, when people worrying about even switching their lights on at the moment. Not much considering how much money she's brought into this country through tourism in 70 years The Crown Estate made a net profit of £312 million last year, 75 % of which goes direct to the treasury. That would put the Queen comfortably in the top 10 taxpayers in the country How does that benefit us though? Universal Credit, Statutory Maternity Pay, furlough pay, Covid Sick Pay just to name a few

"Because she meant something to some people even if she didn’t to you! Why though? She served in the armed forces during the war She has given millions away to charity She has made millions for the country What have you done ? " Tbf, I hear that, but she’s also actively represented and advocated for a family that made this country rich by stealing more from other countries than the Queen could pay back in several lifetimes. On top of all the other things the country did in her name and before her, her family’s name to millions of people. I totally get why people are sad. And I get that people think financially she’s great for us. But like it’s ok for people to dispute that. | |||

" No one is better or more important than anyone else. Unfortunately, if you literally look anywhere online, on tv, probably outside from tomorrow or maybe tonight, people seem to love this woman and consider her more important than my mum, the OP’s mum or any of us or our family members before us. And tbf none of them will change that perspective based on discussions in this thread that’s the reality. So the OP, like many of us, should just let these guys mourn.
I mean if there's something going on that I can't tolerate...I just hop on my bike, go swimming, do some sewing, switch off the TV, avoid the news and forums and social like the plague, toss my phone somewhere and drown myself in non-alcoholic wine and streaming documentaries of murderers.
Rants are all well and good but too many shorten your lifespan. Unless you plan to kick the bucket before retirement age. Live fast and die young they say. I'll be aiming for 80...96 is a bit too much for this mortal coil for me."I like ranting so I’ll die young. But if the rants don’t get me, the planet dying will. No way I’m seeing 80 years. | |||

Vile creature, she has bee your queen your whole life. " Don't get upset over people with sociopathic tendencies...It's how they weave you into their web of manipulation...and get their kicks..because they don't have the skills to self-soothe so they take it out on others..especially old dead queens. No one is forced to watch the news in this day and age. Switch it off turn on Spotify Proms and do some knitting. | |||

People who don't approve of monarchy are equal under the law. Sorry about that.

I dont thonk you do comprehend. A bank holiday is not a legal right or a law"And employers can discriminate on the basis of philosophical belief, in the UK? Lol This is just a rehash of the jubilee arguments, that only monarchists should get a day off and only monarchists (see your allusion above) care about charity.

The Monarch is not legally liable to pay income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax because the relevant enactments do not apply to the Crown. The same is true for the income from the Duchy of Cornwall which is paid to The Prince of Wales..... A quick Google search | |||

I'll tell you what the mental health team tell us "have a cup of tea and go for a walk. Switch off devices and wifi."
Even sociopathic tendencies need mental health care. | |||

"The O.P. asked a perfectly legitimate question and wasn't disrespectful. They actually said that it's SAD when anyone dies....... everyone chose to miss that it seems. And the op has posted similar distateful comments on threads already removed. " I don't know about that, but the OP didn't break rules with her OP. It is better to start another thread rather than spoil RIP threads As always ,we can avoid threads we don't like. | |||

" Not happy anyone dies….even strangers. But why the fuss? " Lifelong social conditioning- bit like the Americans do with the allegiance to the flag- to make it easier to enlist their military requirements. The real piss take is that the royals substantial press and marketing team and all the other guff to make this happen, is paid for by the very people they wish to indoctrinate...thus perpetuating the compliant masses who believe this family are somehow special and keep them i the luxury they demand | |||

"Because she meant something to some people even if she didn’t to you! Why though? She served in the armed forces during the war She has given millions away to charity She has made millions for the country What have you done ? Your wrong 1the quuen never served in the forces, my nan was a nurse in London and told me the queen turned up with her entrage walked around a ward quick photo a bit of filming and gone. 2 the royals haven't given a penny to charity directly they just put thier name to it as a patron. 3 tourists never get to see the royals they come to see the Palace s which would make more money if we opened them as hotels and compared to what they cost us in everything food, security, private jets, helicopters, boats, cars ect the deficit is - £billions " The day she turned 18 when she was still princess she signed up for the Auxiliary Territorial Service and trained as a menchanic and drove ambulances, she did do her her bit, she even went incognito in the crowds to celebrate the end of the war with them.

"I couldn't care less... Just think how much the funeral is going to cost, and then the Coronation, when people worrying about even switching their lights on at the moment. Not much considering how much money she's brought into this country through tourism in 70 years The Crown Estate made a net profit of £312 million last year, 75 % of which goes direct to the treasury. That would put the Queen comfortably in the top 10 taxpayers in the country" Gross profit surely? Net profit is after tax.  | |||

"Didn’t know her. Old lady dies. My mum died without the care she had. Or the doctors. None of her sons paid off a traffic victim. Not happy anyone dies….even strangers. But why the fuss? " Because your mum was not head of state for over 70 years. Rude as it may seem, thems the breaks. This argument is rolled out every time someone in the public eye gets attention for dying or getting married or having a baby or falling out with their family. It just make people look bitter. | |||

"Because she was a 96 year old Monarch that carried out her duty to her Country right up until the very end. She was a Queen. And she was a bloody hard working one. " Well said. I think people seem to be forgetting the Queen was our head of state. In every country around the world if and when their head of state dies they have a period of national mourning And almost always there is a state funeral. We are not unique in this. | |||

"Didn’t know her. Old lady dies. My mum died without the care she had. Or the doctors. None of her sons paid off a traffic victim. Not happy anyone dies….even strangers. But why the fuss? " I'm inclined to agree with you. I respect her as a human being but she had a good life and lived to a good age. She was good at being Queen but this is not something I would get emotional about. I am aware this is a historic moment though and will watch the coming events passively. Luke | |||
