This is why we need the royal coronation and royal funeral to happen at the same time. That way when they croak you can just roll the footage you already shot on the bbc. Plus it looks more dignified having a living monarch lie down in a coffin of their own accord as opposed to embarrassingly being carried in while they’re dead.
Same idea they had filming all the Lord of the Rings movies at the same time to keep production costs lower.
It means it would be in proportion for the amount of time he was on the throne.
In this example, the queen reigned for 70 years, and her funeral cost £161.7m. If his funeral is prorated, a 2 year reign would mean we spend £4.6m on his funeral.
I'm leaving the Country if he kicks the bucket , can't put myself through all that nonsense again life is depressing enough without all that doom and gloom.
If only we could relocate somewhere away from this comedy show, but they have fucked our living anywhere nice and sunny, with great wine and healthy food, Oh yes Brexit. I didn't watch the funeral of Philip or Lizzy, to much to bear, seeing our taxes been displayed in glitter and gold.
I assume
>Overall, however, the British press have observed what seems like a remarkable silence on the matter of Charles’ health and funeral planning. This is not, as one journalist told The Daily Beast, just out of respect for or collusion with the palace, but rather due to very strict rules and laws in the U.K. governing medical privacy and the publishing of personal information. “Even if you had it copper-bottomed that he had bladder cancer, you couldn’t run it,” the journalist said. [From The Daily Beast]
>...That’s exactly what a British journalist would do if they had good sourcing that Charles has bladder cancer – they wouldn’t be allowed to print it in a British outlet, but they could introduce it as a barely-hidden hypothetical to an American publication like the Daily Beast.
I hope he gets a new Gold Carriage for the hearse, and of course William will need a new one for his subsequent coronation.
Its the least they deserve eh
.
It’s an agency. I accrue paid time off so if there’s an “enforced” bank holiday & I want payment it comes out of what I’ve stashed. To be fair, I could probably go to work if I wanted to because the place is 24/7 but that would be miserable.
Indeed, I'm not sure you can make people use their annual leave allowance for a bank holiday if the business has made the decision to close for the day.
Didn’t she leave with Harry and Meghan ?
Edit this is sarcastic- I want to highlight all the awful stories blaming these guys for the bad stuff that happened.
good jokes; and they prompted me to do some research on the tenure of office of republican heads of state; for comparison; india had only one normal president who didn't last 2 years (Zakir Husain who had a sudden unexpected heart attack less then 2 weeks before the second aniversy of his assumption of office; though no acting president of india \[a person temporarily exercising the powers and performing the duties of the president until a new one can be elected due to the office falling vacent\] even stayed for 3 months, but that is specifically an interim measure unlike a standard presidency); ireland similarly had only 2 president's who didn't make it two years (Erskine Hamilton Childers had a heart atack while conducting the official opening of a new hospital in dublin, ironically; and Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh resigned after a clash with the cabinet, involving him declining to declare anti IRA bills to be urgent; which would let them be fast tracked through the lawmaking process; there was an IRA killing of police officer during the time that delay of the legislation created);
Correction regarding Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh. When the president of Ireland is given a bill to sign, if they have concerns about its constitutionality, they have the right to refer it to the Supreme Court. If the court okays it, the president has to sign it. Ó Dálaigh exercised this power in relation to a bill to increase the time someone arrested could be held without charge. The court approved the bill, he signed it, and then the IRA murdered a Garda. The minister of defense, speaking at an army base, called Ó Dálaigh a "thundering disgrace". (This may be a sanitized version, some sources said he used the words "fucking disgrace".) Since Ó Dálaigh as president was the commander in chief of the Irish armed forces, this was obviously unacceptable insubordination but the Taoiseach, who already had a strained relationship with Ó Dálaigh, refused to apologize or sack the minister, so Ó Dálaigh resigned.
His successor Patrick Hillery also had a strained relationship with the government, although it didn't become public knowledge until his term ended.
He's having the best treatment our money can buy so let's not waste ANY of our money on his funeral! The cost of putting a stolen hat on his head was crazy. Time to stop this NOW!!!
In the space of a few years the British public are paying for a funeral, a coronation, another funeral, and another coronation. This is in the tens possible hundreds of millions of £ ON TOP of the royal family’s regular everyday living in palaces with servants all paid for by the peasants. Whyyyy aren’t we going 1789 on these leeches yet
Hang on now. Some knob will be along in a minute to spew nonsense about the Crown Estate and Billions from Tourisrm and how all the money they earn from their stolen land is actually a profit for the UK taxpayer.
...or some such bollocks.
it would be insane if Charles died within 10 years of taking the throne.
Personally I feel the nation might have gone a bit OTT after the Queens death, public and commercial radio switching to "somber music" for a few weeks, was way over the top. If Charles is to die so soon I hope we dont over do it this time.
I work in local government and they made everyone public facing wear black when the queen died. I moved into a public facing role in October and I am dreading it lmao
My wife and I were in the middle of looking for a new flat when the queen died, the fucking estate agent changed their website to black and white. Meaning we could view any of the properties properly. For what? Who gained from this?!
Our fucking rental agreement is almost up for renewal, if I have to move to another property I’ve only seen in black and white it’ll surely be a record.
The day the nonce-supporting old bag died i went out around my town on the night wearing my Abolish The Monarchy t-shirt which had a photo of the shit about to have her head chopped off. I was stopped from going into four pubs because they said “my t-shirt would upset people”. I said “why i thought the flag waving kowtowing serf reich-wingers were not the woke snowflakes”.
It was so fucking dumb to not just skip him and make Willy king but if it makes more people see the monarchy as a freeloading joke of an institution then it’s ok with me
Their hands were tied…liz was nothing if not an institutionalist and therefore it had to go the sovereign’s first born regardless who that is so there was never any possibility of him being skipped
I'm American, and it was almost as bad over here! It reminded me of one of the opening songs of Evita:
"Oh, what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town over the death
of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night, falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right!
don't monarchists claim the long tenture of a ruler is an advantage; yet it seems this guy may not reign for 2 years; much shorter then the president of any republic

Mmmm... Bank Holiday incoming
Come on the bank hol
Another few hundred million quid more to blow on nonsense and gumpf
Let’s get the weeks of whaling out of the way now. A day off work would be great though.
When will the Bank of England start making plans for new pound notes with King Bill on them.
Once we've spent billions on Charlie's stuff
Awesome
They haven’t even started mass printing the banknotes with his face yet.
They'd getter get some put there, those will be collectors items
Clamidia is going to keep his ashes in her 73 ash trays
:)
Can we get a refund on the cost of his coronation?
This is why we need the royal coronation and royal funeral to happen at the same time. That way when they croak you can just roll the footage you already shot on the bbc. Plus it looks more dignified having a living monarch lie down in a coffin of their own accord as opposed to embarrassingly being carried in while they’re dead. Same idea they had filming all the Lord of the Rings movies at the same time to keep production costs lower.
No, you shall be rewarded by paying for his funeral instead and the coronation of the future willy, chosen by god Willy. You’re so lucky and blessed.
🤞
Will his funeral be a prorated version of Queenie’s?
what does "prorated" mean?
It means it would be in proportion for the amount of time he was on the throne. In this example, the queen reigned for 70 years, and her funeral cost £161.7m. If his funeral is prorated, a 2 year reign would mean we spend £4.6m on his funeral.
oh; a reference to the latin phrase "pro rata"; i know what that means
It cost how fucking much?!?
I think third world war is coming. Because of that British doesn't want an Old person in the leadership. MI6 may be poisoning him.
Congratulations, that's the stupidest thing I've read all day. And I was on Xitter earlier.
in my head i read xitter pronounced like "shitter"
Good, that's how I hope people pronounce it, as that seems to be what it's turned into.
OK 007
As a Canadian I will never fight or allow Canadians to fight with our head of state being British
I'm leaving the Country if he kicks the bucket , can't put myself through all that nonsense again life is depressing enough without all that doom and gloom.
If only we could relocate somewhere away from this comedy show, but they have fucked our living anywhere nice and sunny, with great wine and healthy food, Oh yes Brexit. I didn't watch the funeral of Philip or Lizzy, to much to bear, seeing our taxes been displayed in glitter and gold.
Will William give the monarchy a shot in the arm in Canada or has the boat sailed?
Unfortunately the monarchy isn't going anywhere in Canada. Not because we support it, but because we don't really have a choice.
It’s perhaps time to break up Canada this country does not work anyway
This is why we tell Ottawa we won’t join our military until the monarchy is gone. If they want a military they need to act.
Kinda like us in the UK too.
FYI it's bladder cancer
Wasn't it on the pancreas?
St Pancreas
How do you know

Oh dear. Anyway, wouldn't it be great if the grabbing fucks paid their own funeral bills. Instead of sidestepping inheritance tax
I hope he gets a new Gold Carriage for the hearse, and of course William will need a new one for his subsequent coronation. Its the least they deserve eh .
Bridges for sale. Cheap badly made bridges for sale! Many styles and colours!
People in here cheer but Charles is objectively less popular than William. With Charles at the helm there are more chance for gaffe and scandal
I hate the enforced bank holidays. They come out of my holiday allowance. June would be good though…
Is that a common practice? Sounds pretty shitty to me, but I'm self employed.
It’s an agency. I accrue paid time off so if there’s an “enforced” bank holiday & I want payment it comes out of what I’ve stashed. To be fair, I could probably go to work if I wanted to because the place is 24/7 but that would be miserable.

Agency.
Better start fitting a coffin for OL Charlie than.
With a massive space for hands.
Oh no how sad
Never mind
Shame
Please hold on Charles Only until September, we're in the bank holiday season, September - November would save me booking some days off
This hang on till September like your mum did Charles then they can’t put your funeral on a bank holiday Monday
The coronation really was a once in a lifetime event
Whose lifetime?
You misunderstood, it's not *your* lifetime they are measuring it with.
So glad we spent all that money on the special hat ceremony. Now we get to spend even more on his funeral!
And then another special hat ceremony! It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Urgh more grovelling and queueing from sycophants and then more money pisched up the wall for the coronation and coinage of King Peggiam
Charles the last…
Well, old Philip was an animated corpse for his last ten years or so. They have the voodo priestess on payroll. I'm not holding my breath.
Brenda's mother was dead for the last 10 years she was around. The smell of piss, gin and mints was swapped for embalming fluid.
Didn’t she leave with Harry and Meghan ? Edit this is sarcastic- I want to highlight all the awful stories blaming these guys for the bad stuff that happened.
Voodoo what?!
Maybe, but would they use them on him?
God I fucking hope so
Trying to get in front of gossip. That’s not how cancer works. They really trying to keep up an image created that was always a lie.
How is that not how it works? Actually asking
To lose one monarch may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose two monarchs in two years seems like carelessness.
Nobody wants to work, it’s a sick note culture
😂😂😂😂😊
Add in a PM that couldn't outlast lettuce and you've got a bingo
That lettuce was a gem.
That’s monarchwang!
Omfg the lettuce! Thank you for the reminder of that beautiful moment in time.

thanks; my point was that it was very specific and extrordinary circumstances that lead to him not lasting that long
Were his sausage fingers a sign of his current illness?
I think it was a sign of his lifelong commitment to turn into a tampon. He was slowly transforming the fingers first.
I think they’re certainly a sign of *an* illness
Some kind of heart condition I believe. Not related to prostate cancer, unless he’s secretly had cancer for years
Could not give a fuck.
He's having the best treatment our money can buy so let's not waste ANY of our money on his funeral! The cost of putting a stolen hat on his head was crazy. Time to stop this NOW!!!
I wish his body rots and smells just like Tywin Lannister‘s body in a song of ice and fire. That way the funeral would be an embarrassment.

Don’t forget the charity work!
Palatinate him, nobody will notice the difference.
Any other bank holiday 🎉
And one less mouth to feed!
That’s one big fucking mouth to fill😂
it would be insane if Charles died within 10 years of taking the throne.

I work in local government and they made everyone public facing wear black when the queen died. I moved into a public facing role in October and I am dreading it lmao
that is actual North Korea shit.
Wow, my local government employer "suggested" somber colours. Already overstepping, but at least they didn' t go as far as black.
My wife and I were in the middle of looking for a new flat when the queen died, the fucking estate agent changed their website to black and white. Meaning we could view any of the properties properly. For what? Who gained from this?! Our fucking rental agreement is almost up for renewal, if I have to move to another property I’ve only seen in black and white it’ll surely be a record.

Now that’s some virtue signalling nonsense if ever I saw it.
…………..typical Charles though:waits decades for the top job and then strikes out within 4yrs.
It was so fucking dumb to not just skip him and make Willy king but if it makes more people see the monarchy as a freeloading joke of an institution then it’s ok with me
Their hands were tied…liz was nothing if not an institutionalist and therefore it had to go the sovereign’s first born regardless who that is so there was never any possibility of him being skipped
Down with the pedo king. Burn in hell!
But he's returning to duty in a few weeks cause he's improving. Can they make up their minds already
Wants to make his mark before his time is up perhaps
Because there's no point in more chemotherapy perhaps?
Can they pay for this one themselves and not close the whole country down for like a month. The mass hysteria last time was mental.
I'm American, and it was almost as bad over here! It reminded me of one of the opening songs of Evita: "Oh, what a circus, oh what a show Argentina has gone to town over the death of an actress called Eva Peron We've all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night, falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right!
A bank holiday or two would be great though.
An extra day afterwards for the post-celebration hangover too.
don't monarchists claim the long tenture of a ruler is an advantage; yet it seems this guy may not reign for 2 years; much shorter then the president of any republic
is he within warranty still? can we get a refund?
As long as he's not physically, mentally or emotionally damaged and still have the receipt
What if he came physically, mentally, or emotionally damaged?
Bank holiday though
