This is where I’m at with it. The royals are basically NPCs in the grand scheme of the last century of British imperialism.

Im not celebrating her death passing at all though. She did more to heal the hurt between our two islands than any monarch ever. And she went above and beyond and put herself in trouble in British parliament to do so.

Could’ve fooled me.

People like to confuse unique success with unique evil, though at least the hatred of one's enemies is hatred directed in a better direction than directing it inward. Still, it's pretty silly to think of the brits as especially evil just because they had the most strength and cunning for a long time.

Ireland is a special case that might break that rule though, in that they've basically lost every struggle since history slithered out of pre-history, yet continue to exist somehow. If harmlessness was godliness, the Irish are angelic.

Funny guy.
Our population was over 8 million when the famine struck and English landlords were raping the country financially.
Queen Victoria and her government turned a blind eye and even refused aid to Ireland from India and Native American Indians.
It was genocide.

Our population still hasn’t recovered.
The famine queen. And you wonder why we have a problem with them.

But not extinct!

‘ Worth remembering that Britain’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade was not a compulsory part of the British secondary school history curriculum until 2008 and that this lasted just five years as it as removed as a mandatory topic by the Conservatives in 2013.’

Pointing out historical facts to those bereft of them, isn’t celebrating her death.
Do better.

The queen left very specific details about her funeral. And a list of personae non grata for the funeral.

Ahem…

Well done Ma’am. Well done.

Charles meeting two Sinn Fein leaders and then absolutely monstering Jeffrey Donaldson of the DUP while he’s standing right there

Things you love to see.

That’s not mocking her or her death. Or celebrating it.

I said she was a thoughtful old dear! She was!!

I’m not laughing. They are. You might be.
