I really hope my employer leaves it alone. For those who like the monarchy/queen I am sure it is a sad day. I am not one of them (I also do not rejoice, really. Just looking at some of the reporting rather dumbfounded and happy I can watch streaming services the coming week).
I also think that her death is such a blow because there is nothing really to excited about in the near future in the UK. There is the cost of living crisis after a decade of austerity measures and a pandemic, Brexit problems at the borders that can't be solved by magical thinking, a chaotic incompetent PM being replaced by a calculating but incompetent PM....No wonder really people look back at the past and become nostalgic and sad over symbols like the queen or the royal family.
Though I admit when I heard a tweet being read from Zelensky saying the people of the Ukraine had the Brits in their thougths and prayers during this time I thought it was rather obscene. Compared with a country in a war, this one only lost a symbolic celebrity who lead a long and privileged life.
Anyway, sorry if this was off topic, but the one constant we could count on was Jack being annnoying about it! SOme things never change.
