I bet this was many people thoughts
Mine was oh crap am I going to lose pay again? When people started talking about 10 days of mourning. I feared genuinely for a shut down. I just lost over £150 on a Bank holiday and it is going to happen again. Luckily for only 1 day. When the Big boss said business as usual on our intranet I had to exclaim relief. I am sad for anyone who feels this loss but facing the cost of living crisis and rising living expenses taking another massive financial hit due to more Bank Holidays is something I do not need right now.
I just posted this elsewhere on socials
I'm not a royalist but I have also seen a lot of poc. many not even British post on social media about how it's disgusting how we are mourning Her Majesty and how they are not one to express joy at death but goodbye Miss Colonizer and it absolutely repulses me. These people know nothing of the UK and it's history. Yes you may be of Bengali origin (in one case) but at the end of the day any slavery, colonisation , mistreatment was not done by Queen Elizabeth 2. She was merely a decendant in the Royal line.. It galls me as you are judging her by the actions of someone else . At the end of the day as I have been saying this was by all accounts a good woman, a wife, a mother, a grandmother and essentially another human being. Time to bring out the old saying if you can't be kind, be quiet. Show some compasssion.
The racist hate speech on the twitter account is revolting. Posting pictures of people riverdancing to Another One Bites The Dust in front of the Palace etc Yet apparently we are meant to be ok with South Asians saying things like that because they are not white. and therefore are not the massive racists they claim others to be.She's been reported on Twitter.. her whole account is one long string of vile posts.
