Oh dear, never mind.
Long live Big Ears – only joking.
We need another glorious revolution, Roger Federer should now be offered the throne. He seems more cut out for the role than Charles.
Djok for me
Actually Djokovic would be better how foolish of me!
He’s aligned with the WEF. A huge disappointment for me when I found this out.
Blimey BB, I am shocked. So what’s with the anti-vax stance? Is he some sort of distraction?
Federer not Djoko.
Federer was pushing the bioweapon injections along with Nadal, both are partnered with WEF companies & fully signed up to the agenda.
So Djoko is NOT aligned to the WEF?
I’ve not found any evidence as yet that he is.
Same here , is he misguided, dumb or in league with TPTB ? We shall see quite quickly .
This must be the most downvoted post ever on DS. I think that shows you haven’t got the room with you.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for the grace and faithfullness you showed through a long reign and in spite of intense provocations and difficulties not of your making.
Long live the King and let us hope he grows to emulate his late mother.
She repeatedly broke her Coronation Oath and sided with evil over the last 2 and a half years.
I’m not sure a woman in her 90s, who probably never had a sceptical bone in her body due to her very exceptional upbringing, could be accused of siding with evil.
She signed the Coronation Oath at the top of the page. Legally, one does not commit to anything below the signature.
Why mark this down? These are just facts. I make no judgement on Elizabeth Windsor.
It is the corrupt state that ropes us all in, including her, that needs a major overhaul.
I had always admired her work ethic, somewhat spoilt by the comments about the unvaxxed. Doubtless she was advised badly but had hoped she was bigger than that, but perhaps she saw it as her duty.
Don’t think Charles will be a friend to sceptics.
Charlie is up to his neck in the reset.
Yeah, he has what seem like dangerous utopianist tendencies.
He wont reign for 70 years so folk can relax.
Seven years to 2030.
Agenda 2030. Need to get their skates on.
There’s one small silver lining to the cloud of Her Majesty’s death: Charles will now be made to STFU – in public at least – about his authoritarian/Eco Loony tendencies.
You think? I don’t think he’s smart enough to shut up.
I agree with you about Charles. He’s definitely foe not friend and he can shove his ”build back better” bollocks up his pampered arse. I never liked him since the whole Diana thing anyway.
I greatly admired the Queen and I do feel it is a benefit to have a head of state who is apolitical although she had some bad advice at times. Sadly, I think that ended with the Queen. I don’t trust Charles at all. He’ll make it his mission the save us. Here’s someone who believes in homeopathy and talking to plants and yet he thinks he has the sound judgement and integrity to be a spokesperson for the globalist ideology of WEF cabal. We need to be saved from him.
He’s a grade 1 fruitcake and a classic example of the problems that arise when you combine a lack of intelligence with excessive influence.
Lovely phrasing. Very succinct
Agreed and he’s also a raging hypocrite. His treatment of Diana and now he’s ‘Defender of Faiths’.
Defender of Faiths is in direct opposition to the Coronation Oath which is about being Defender of the Protestant Faith.

It was her comments regarding the unvaxxed that made me less of a monarchist but as has been pointed out she could have been convinced that the jab was the best thing for her people, lets face it many had been convinced it was!
That coupled with appointing Bliar to the Privy Council was the final straw for me.
Indeed. I forgot that. In fact we need to constantly keep this front and centre. Bliar has been firmly welcomed into the heart of the establishment. His capacity for trouble causing will have grown immeasurably.
It feels like more than just the passing of one person, but something more significant. The passing of an era. That generation now gone, what must they think of the country today.
A lot has changed during her time. The GBN published a brief summary timeline: https://www.gbnews.uk/news/queen-elizabeth-ii-a-timeline-of-the-history-making-monarchs-life/363557 Many of the events that occurred later on would not have been tolerated in her early years.
I thought so too. Queen Elizabeth was old school royalty and a quintessential monarch. Charles won’t come close to filling her shoes. You just don’t get royalty like our Liz anymore anywhere. We have Queen Maxima here, who’s very ordinary and just like a regular person in comparison, but that’s the different generations for you. She’s currently doing a solo tour of the U.S, sucking up to the globalists.
I think Charles is just a bit dim. He’d have been a postman if he hadn’t been born a prince (no disrespect meant to postmen).
I don’t think postman would be a suitable career for him. He has uncommonly fat sausage fingers and would fumble with the letters and letter boxes,
He could be the man at the garden centre who waters plants and directs pensioners to the cafe, maybe?
Sadly we will never see the like of that generation again.
It’s sad for those who have to deal with the outcome, and adapt to the emerging changes. An ultra sceptic might wonder what else will occur in the background – e.g. the former top dog at the Treasury (Sir Tom Scholar) resigned a little early, a few hours ago, according to GBN.
Anyway, the Elizabethan age has come to an end. Charles(ism), or whatever, is yet to come. At least they opened the new crossrail line (the Elizabeth line) in London while she was alive.
Indeed, but it isn’t actually open. Just unconnected bits – what a good reflection on the ability of the bureaucracy to deliver; none.
Rumour has it that Charlie is going to return all the income he receives for renting out our seabed to the Treasury so that the money can be used to reduce the heating bills of the British public.
I stress, this is only a rumour at the moment.
Spot on nothing exemplifies the fact the Windsors are part of the predator class than they’ve stolen the seabed.
I wish the family well and I hope the King takes his new responsibilities seriously.
Certainly, her final years were marred by a few statements that could be seen as political, and not least over “vaccines” (though how much she had to do with it, I don’t know). Be that as it may, I always was, and remain, a monarchist. If it was not her or her successor, it would be some politician (Tony Blair? The speaker of the house of commons), and the prospect hardly inspires me. How many more comments would such a figure make at the behest of the pharmaceutical industry?
Now it has been suggested, with good reason, that the WEF/NWO types have consciously tried to turn us against each other during the course of this shambles. Well I for one refuse to play along. I will not let them change my views of the monarchy or the constitution. Among other things, the queen represented a devotion to duty and stabilty. She genuinely cared about the British people. The WEF/NWO may try and divide us, in what I see as one of the worst attacks of this wretched shambles of the last two and a half years, but I will go on loving my family, my community and my country. Because we are the British people, we are brothers, and we are un bloody breakable, and we will beat these crooks in the end.
Macron’s behaviour gives us a good idea, if we were a republic, in answer to your question.
Didn’t she give Blair the most honourable knighthood in Britain?
Indeed she did. I tthink the suspicion is that Prince Philip wouldn’t have allowed her to.
RIP Queen Elizabeth. I once shook her hand (in white glove) whilst I was a chorister at St.Albans Abbey (back in the day). Whatever we might feel of the monarchy she’s been a powerful fixture of Britain’s society and image. I only hope the new King will continue to keep the monarch out of politics, something I fear he’ll be unable to resist (whether it’s within the remit of royal life or not). A sad day.
“God save our gracious king, long live our noble king…” Nah, that doesn’t sound right at all! Something that’s going to feel really weird, getting used to those new words at the next international sporting event.
If ever there was a time for all theQueen’s wealth to be handed over to the British public, it is surely now.
Perhaps the down voters could explain their responses to all those British people set to starve or freeze to death this winter
Quite.
Doubtless Charlie will urge us to do our bit while he zooms off to his next COP meeting, all the while telling “his” people what brave lions we are.
State-sponsored theft of a family’s wealth is never a solution – no matter how rich you may think that family is. How would you feel if it was your wealth? It’s a dark, steep, slippery slope, believe me.
Yes, I am aware that the Royal Family benefits from laws written specifically to prevent investigations into their assets. It’s all a con, I know, but theft is theft.
Unfortunately Joe rocketing energy prices where there is no reason counts as theft as far as I am concerned
“State-sponsored theft of a family’s wealth is never a solution”
…except where the theft is from ordinary working families of this country.
I agree the situation is terrible. But the solution is not a wealth grab. Where would that end? The rich would just run away and take their money with them, and invest it somewhere else.
Have another downvote!
Hear, hear.
The Queen is worth slightly less than £500 million. About the same as the NHS burns every single day. The Crown Estate is worth around £20 billion. All proceeds from the Crown Estate already go direct to HM Treasury.
I am fed up with the constant leftist propaganda from mainstream media (and from Daily Sceptic comments) that utopia is available to all via the expropriation of some giant pond of wealth. Most of the time the pond is way to small. Even if a sizeable confiscation were feasible the downsides of expropriation are often more expensive that the gain.
F*** the downtickers; I’m feeling bereft even though I can see her faults, even as I was aware of those of my late mum, to whom HMQ bore a resemblance, and they were of an age.
I don’t envy the wealth that cluttered her life; even if it were to be distributed somehow, it would make no difference. Why not rage against lottery winners?
There are things I wish she hadn’t said, obviously about the jabs (and I think her attitude to being seen in a wheelchair was rather insulting to the disabled)- but I believe she sincerely thought it was for the best. How many of us can remember things we said or did in the past that turned out to be wrong? I certainly can. It may even be that despite living a long life, hers was curtailed in some way because of these cursed jabs:- the end seemed to come remarkably suddenly when just 2 days ago she was on her feet doing her job. Did it take a shot of adrenaline to get through 40 minutes with Bojo and the PM circus?
There’s been too much change recently and I for one will miss her
My mother-in-law bore a remarkable resemblance to the Queen and she passed over a couple of months ago aged 99 years of age, with the Queen dying unexpectedly it certainly seems as if we are at the end of an era and looking into an abyss of doom and gloom.
For some reason the timing seems to jar.
Bozo just gone, a new sock-puppet PM. Is this a sweep clean and a fresh WEF start?
The thought had occurred to me, too…
Yes incredible dovetailing ! I doubt there were any bets taken on this outcome ! Also it’s a massive distraction while Truss doesn’t do any of the things she said she would ! By the time the funerals over we will hardly notice or remember what’s happened ! Mind you I’ve heard Chile has fought back at the Polls against too much Schwabism
The timing is indeed a little notable. Note also that it’s almost exactly 25 years since the other mass public grief exercise (Diana). Stayed alive just long enough for platty joobs, and change of PM. Let’s be very vigilant for the government burying bad news while the public sobs. I still say it’s no coincidence that a certain other royal once said “in the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to do something about overpopulation”.
Incidentally, a certain parenting website expressed total outrage at boys on a train in school uniform mocking the Queen, report them to their school, off with their heads, and so on. It got me thinking: was one of them actually Boris Johnson? It’s hard to tell the difference between him and a public schoolboy, and it’s exactly the sort of thing he would “accidentally” do in public, even now.
BoJo probably wishes he’s still in the job. Just a few days out, after all. Imagine him having meetings with King Charlie.
“total outrage at boys on a train in school uniform mocking the Queen,”
That at least gives some hope. I think that if there is scepticism about royalty amongst our youth that is to be applauded. At least they retain some capacity to think for themselves.
I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of other things happen in the background, with many seizing the opportunity. As I mentioned earlier, the top dog at the Treasury resigned just a few hours before HMQ died. If he’d left it for another day, no-one would know.
Even in the absence of a plan, who would miss the chance, if it looks good for them? Many entrepreneurs will be sharpening their pencils, quite likely.
I agree John.
Fulfilling her duties to the bitter end. A different generation. A different moral code. A code that many, even some here, will never understand.
I’m struck and saddened today by the significance of this moment in the life of the country.
But I’m afraid I just can’t get past the speech The Queen gave on 5th April 2020. The one in which she prepared the nation for a period of hardship, cynically evoking the spirit of World War Two.
I don’t believe she was acting on bad advice. I think she was knowingly playing her part in a manipulative and devastating hoax perpetrated by the ruling classes on ordinary people.
Lots of talk tonight about the Queen’s years of ‘service’ to the country. This is PR and completely back to front. Making symbolic appearances and putting your name to good causes is not ‘service’ and serving is not what monarchs do. It may seem inappropriate to say this today, but that’s what I think.
I feel the same, CG.
Obviously I have made my position clear and given the torrent of maudlin abuse we will doubtless be subjected too these next two weeks I felt it best to step in early with some realism.
Your response clearly reflects a more contemplative appraisal and is much appreciated.
I’m with you 100% CG.
I must admit to feeling bereft at the Queen’s passing. She has always been there all my life and now she has gone. Can Charles fill her shoes? He isn’t popular and I expect the calls to ditch the monarchy will become even louder now.
“I expect the calls to ditch the monarchy will become even louder now.”
And I think we can rely on big ears to put his foot in it which will help.
I’ve never had any interest in royal issues, and see the royalty as a complete irrelevance in terms of my own life. I’ll keep the TV switched off for a few weeks. But I’ve always thought (leaving aside what the succession of Charles might mean) that abolishing the monarchy would be a bad idea, as the question is then what replaces them and we end up with something like France.
To that extent I think the queen has been a unifying force, in that she has been as apolitical as she could reasonably be. Where you have political parties with different views then that works well. But when you have all political parties, the media and global organisations pursuing a dangerous agenda that needs to be openly challenged by free and open discussion such as lockdowns and experimental vaccines, but the monarchy reinforces that suppression of open discussion and adds to the power of the state and global organisations, the monarchy becomes a real problem. But is the overall affect any worse than if the monarchy didn’t exist? I don’t know.
I would much rather live my relatively anonymous life free to go anywhere without being widely recognised, than live the restricted life in many ways of the queen with all her riches and privileges. So to that extent it is not unreasonable to thank the queen for her service to the country.
I’m not going to be too harsh on the queen for her comments in the last few years including her personal attack on me (and other good unvaccinated people). As with each of the 10,000 or so people who die in England and Wales each week this is a real person whose cycle of life has come to an end, and we all make mistakes in life.
I think it is important as a sceptic in relation to this news and wider issues to continue to remain kind and open minded, while at the same time being ready to assertively challenge bad ideas and give fair appraisals of things such as the queen’s life.
Fair comment FL.
A Catalan nationalist friend of ours met the Queen when he was volunteering at the Barcelona Olympics. He recalls her being very warm and friendly, asking questions which demonstrated her ability to get the volunteers to demonstrate their knowledge at the same time as showing her interest.
Winston Churchill, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, was at Balmoral Castle in September 1928 and saw the 2-year-old Princess Elizabeth (not then in line to the throne of course).
He wrote to his wife of the toddler that she was a ‘character’, that ‘she has an air of authority & reflectiveness astonishing in an infant’.
Perceptive words.
He’s still in the Guinness Book of Records as the worlds oldest apprentice. He still talks to vegetables, so his chats to Gates should go well.
The French have halted the hourly launch of dinghy’s as a mark of respect. Will resume at midnight.
Isn’t at times like this when the public are greatly distracted that governments launder their dirty washing? We should be on high alert.
Absolutely. Summat’s coming.
Never forget. Maybe she would’ve lived until over 100 had she not been boosted.
https://youtu.be/aZkEgi4P0kc
Yes, but the deadline is 2030 and they didn’t want to run it too close.
Even if she had all the Jabs being pushed surely, surely, they would have been placebos so that Her Majesty was none the wiser & thought she had done her bit !
Oh I don’t know. I think Charles would have made sure she got the real thing.
Her hands were a very funny colour in that photo with Liz Truss. Is that a common very old person thing? what causes it?
I’ve seen similar effects on people receiving regular steroid injections – the skin becomes very thin and fragile. I’ve an acquaintance who regularly wears tubigrip bandages to protect her forearms and shins against accidental knocks which can bleed profusely.
What job is Camilla going to be given?
Queen-in-Consort
The same job as she’s always carried out for Big Ears?
Class.
Charles as inevitable King is a concerning prospect, given the vast amount of land (and hence influence) he owns in England (135,000 acres across 23 counties!). Watch out, he may declare Cornwall a new nation-state!
The Duchy of Cornwall? Isn’t responsibility for that passing to the Prince of Wales?
Seeing as the Constitutional Monarchy has changed guard, these two articles on the British Constitution seem to be relevant.
I’ve only skimmed them so can’t give a full critique.

All football cancelled for this week where Thousands of people would have been brought together as one Nation caught up in Patriotic Emotion singing the National Anthem in unison around the uk …. oh hang on … best to have a mini Lockdown instead in case the proles get collectively restless .. said Klaus !!..
I don’t go to football and am not much interested in communal acts of grieving or whatever but for those who, an opportunity has been removed. If you’re into honouring the life of the monarch, what better way to do it than coming together in a huge crowd and having however many minutes silence you want. A really daft decision – par for the course.
And thousands of businesses adversely affected. The pie men, the sandwich sellers, taxi drivers, cafés, pubs etc but never mind:
God save the corpse.
Ah well, it helps to destroy a few more businesses.
Bastsrds!.
Not forgetting the businesses affected: the pie men, sandwich sellers,taxi drivers, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Who will cover their losses? The owd trout is gone, killed by her own kind.
Alot of people made to suffer and LOOSE money for a 90+ Yr old woman.
CGAF.
Can we not all just grow up!?
The usual suspects from the government’s phrasebook of public micromanagement are creeping in, ones which we thought we’d seen the back of:
“Government guidance.” “Non-essential activity.” “You are asked to…”
And are they going to move the goalposts with “ten days of mourning”? Is this ten calendar days, or ten working days, with the highly expensive state funeral being an extra day? Will ten days become ten weeks, then ten months, just like “three weeks” lasted much longer than that?
Firkers.
