Typical day in Britain, really.

Do you know, there were rumours (probably untrue) that we here in Ireland might do a day of mourning for her? For the symbol of a country that ground us under its heel for 700 years and basically tried to ethnically cleanse us? Oh no wait, that's ethically cleanse. No, I was right the first time.
I bet the one way you could guarantee a knife in the guts/acid in the face/call for hanging to be brought back/house burned down right now would be to say one bad word about the Queen. It's like the whole country (I know what you say about a split, but I don't see it, and even if it's there I guarantee it's nowhere near 50/50, whether it's sincere or not) has suddenly become a fortress for the monarchy.

Is that a euphemism? Please let it be a euphemism...
Mind you, if anyone did anything of that nature you can bet they would be gunned down to applause from the crowd. Didn't they just lose their **** because one guy "ran from out of the queue and approached the coffin?"
Aw, who wants to see her a zombie? "One must have brains! Bring one brains, this instant!"
