R.I.P Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

There seems to be a bit of a hypocritical double standard at play with it being deemed too soon to be enjoying yourself, but not too soon to be going to work. It is apparently not the time for discussions on the future of the monarchy but the exact right time for the irreversible appointment of a monarch and his heirs. Too soon for Parliament to function on behalf of its citizens but not too soon for Parliament to function on behalf of the monarchy

Too soon for Football, which I kind of understand with her and William being so connected with the FA, but what better tribute than thousands of fans silence and applause around the UK? She was all about rolling up your sleeves and getting on with stuff. Notice how it's not too soon for Horseracing or Rugby etc though. Even weirder is the BBBOC cancelling all fights. Boxers have long camps tailored to culminate on fight day and smaller promoters, photojournalists, bar and venue staff etc are all going to be hit by this.

Notice how it is too soon for strikes and protest but not too soon for pay cuts and redundancies. It is too soon for people to say what they genuinely think and feel, but not too soon for people to tell people what they should think and feel.

You see there is a way of respectfully raising issues without trolling like a ranting f*ckwit.

Couple of random things and I'll admit more like display my ignorance of UK affairs and not pretend to know all and define what's best across the pond, but real short...what's the deal with brothers Williams and Harry

. Why the "feud" and none contact. Way they go on over here about them you would think matters between them stem from something unspeakable.

I don't pay close attention and don't know if there is a bad feud or its all hyped in the press.

It began with him marrying meghan I know that and apparently him questioning if he was doing the right thing marrying her. Then him stepping away from the royal family. Then I guess the interviews they've done etc and the racist accusations they've made hasn't helped. Many seem to blame meghan - it's racist of course

But how bad it really is or whether William gives a fuck at all and just has to make out he does who knows.

My view is if they want to step away from public life fair enough but then doing the interviews etc and the Netflix series etc on the back of what he is....is that stepping away is it fuck.

And no I'm not racist
