Just a few short months ago, the UK was admonishing Russia for repressing protests against its invasion of Ukraine...
blank sign protests will never stop being fucking awesome for the way they make police look like complete tools
Ongoing list of absolute shit we’re being put through for the sake of the parasite’s funeral:
-Shops, supermarkets, takeaways, restaurants, food banks (fucking FOOD BANKS) will shut. if Monday is your grocery shop day prepare to starve
-you have a non essential medical appointment that you’ve waited months/years for? Think again!
-did I mention food banks shutting? The things fucking starving people rely on to eat? Food banks?
- still have to go to work and rely on public transport? Uhhhhhh good luck with that
- if you’re supposed to be staying at a holiday resort like centre parks they will just… kick you out so they can shut.
- standing in the wrong place with a blank sign will now get you arrested, apparently
- fucking. The richest parasite in the commonwealth and we are shutting FOOD BANKS in her honour. FOOD BANKS-
-its been said before and not to labour the point but. People are going to freeze this winter because they’re unable to pay heating bills. People are going to DIE. Could we possibly spend this funeral money on them instead? n o p e
- oh at least when Charles gets all the queen’s money he’ll give back to the economy by paying inheritance tax on it- HA. HA HA. AND, IF I MAY ADD, HA.
-no, the multimillionaires will not be paying inheritance tax. They worked very hard to ensure that.

One of new Prime Minister Liz Truss’ first actions are to go to war with the Scottish Government over Trans Rights.
We will fight this every single step of the way.
Me when my uncle, a Scottish farmer, who is constantly complaining about Outsiders (i.e. immigrants and City People) coming in and building their houses on good Scottish farmland, is heartbroken that the queen is dead and is travelling down to London for her funeral
Weird question but if y’all were stuck in a time loop where you died and then the day restarted over and over again, what slightly insanity-inducing song would be playing every time you woke up
my hot take of the day is that booktok & serial numbers filed off fanfic did not invent publishers churning out derivative works by mediocre authors who are having their hands held every step of the way & being told what tropes to use. we see it in the ghostwritten celebrity novel. we see it in many of the romances and crime novels that exclusively seem to be on sale for £4 in supermarkets. the difference is very online people are noticing it now because booktok reylo adaptations are being marketed to the social media generation, who will naturally be more vocal in both promoting and criticising these books, whereas the aforementioned predecessors were largely marketed to middle aged women who are more likely to talk about them in more insular and primarily offline circles. the increased advertisement of these books & their broadened reach bc of social media is certainly something to take note of but booktok & fanfiction are not solely responsible for bad books existing
you know how there was a moral panic in the 18th-19th century about women reading *gasp* novels? a lot of those novels were absolute trash being churned out by cheap publishers according to a set formula that market research had determined would sell, and the publishers paid to get them hyped up in ladies' magazines and sent out by book clubs
it moved a lot slower than modern publishing but other than that it was basically the same thing. and this current moral panic about booktok is basically the same moral panic about young ladies reading unsuitable literature that will weaken their minds and their morals
"but that was silly," you say. indeed!
i personally think there is a huge moral problem in the government/country when millions of pounds are going to be spent on the funeral and the subsequent coronation when people cannot afford to heat their homes and feed their children
literally how am i supposed to react to this email my mom sent my entire family
Open the spreadsheet and put dibs on the stuff you want obviously
Scotland should declare independence real quick, while they’re not looking
so glad i read tags
i wish all working class brits a very riot when your government tries to spend a billion dollars on that bitch’s funeral while your cost of living skyrockets, and i wish all non brits a very support working class brits while their country catches on fire
I know one way we can all save on our energy bills this winter
Now hear me out; I know that it isn't traditional for a monarch to be cremated, but--
Sans sweep was so powerful the residual shockwaves accidentally killed the fucking queen
Oh by the way I am politely (politely) warning you lot in advance that when Liz Truss is PM if any of you gaslight gatekeep girlboss americans say "ugh, at least your leader is FEMALE 🥺" when she says/ does classic tory facist shite that im going to rip your skin asunder ✌ peace and luv x
Do you mean Liz Truss is not going to effectively utilise girlpower as she presides over the collapse of the UK as a functioning democracy?
