I recommend that you all just become apolitical like me, then things won't bother you so much.

I just sit and watch the foolishness on different sides and sometimes share my observations.

What a simple mind you have. Every adult in the world knows she is flesh and blood. But when alive she was our Queen, and a wonderful one. Whereas you will be gormless alive or dead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But she believed she was appointed by God. I guess you do too? Do you also believe in fairies and pixies at the end of your garden?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know you are a tw@t,but that's a certainty. Fairies not so much. And no I dont believe she was appointed by God but by fate. That was the hand she was dealt and played it wonderfully. You on the other hand were dealt a poor hand and are playing it badly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Explain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There you go, a poor hand, little sense or understanding
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh c’mon, you can do better than that! Have another go.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm agnostic /atheist, does that help as a reply?

Hopefully now the UK has all this performative mourning out of their system they can now move into the 21st century and remember that in a country where a huge swath of people live below the poverty line this kind of extravagance is gross.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are in the 21st century, like it or not. Even people below the poverty line, whatever that line is are upset the Queen is dead, and support a monarchy.
Some, like me, find it more annoying that a Russian 'gangster' with ten times the money the Queen had can come and live in London and buy a football club as his means of helping the UK.
Or the Saudis with their wellbeing of our population in their hearts, which they demonstrate by buying a football club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As opposed to what? Waving from cars at people with plastic flags?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Post, you can be a good poster, but not when you're on your period.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a very un-52-like comment...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One of you must be being a diddums.

Its well known that the Queen kept Marmalade sandwiches in her handbag for later, too.

That's a very un-52-like comment...

Not really. He was like this when people criticised Ole as well.

That title was given to Henry VIII by The Pope before he decided he fancied being head honcho of his own religious sect.

Yes I believe they are appointed to defend the faith.
It doesn't mean they have to believe, though she did.
It certainly doesn't mean I have to be a believer to support a monarchy

Surely it shouldn't really matter what a handful of people on an internet forum say, after all there were over 5 billion people from around the world tuning in today, if those figures are to be believed ...

Why have a bee in your bonnet just because a few others don't show the same reverence to the Queen and the monarchy as you?

The title Defender of The Faith was rescinded when England went prod, and the current use was bestowed on the monarch by parliament, a secular organisation. It's as meaningless as everything else to do with them

I don't expect révérence, I don't expect someone who has anti monarchy views to change their minds. What I foolishly hoped for was that people could
A. Wait until she is buried to airing those views.
B. Stop the comments like 'she's in a box'she is an old woman.
etc. Even though they know it is disrespectful to her and many others.
Clearly a vain hope.

Completely disagree with the OP, none of us personally knew the Queen and are under no obligation, morally or through some absurd patriotic duty or otherwise, to pause our lives to mourn her - despite having the expectation to do so relentlessly imposed upon us for the last week and a half.

People in this country are currently struggling to make end meets due to a worsening energy and cost of living crisis, their health service is floundering and children are being murdered in their cities. And you want to criticise them for having a bit of a release and a laugh here rather than fawning over an absurdly opulent and pompous ceremony of ostentatiousness as the countries foremost multi millionaire was buried?

Nah, not having that. If you want to draw the curtains and wear a black arm band then that’s your business, but it’s 2022, other people will make their own choices and this article is just sanctimonious nonsense.

I don't wear a black armband or draw the curtains. As a non believer I am not sanctimonious, and it's nonsense to you but not to most. So give it another, more accurate shot.

Surely now the last tie to the colonial era has gone it's the ideal time for Britain to be questioning the relevance of a fuedal system to a modern society
