Public holiday - State funeral

[Bod ...]

What's racist about pointing out hypocrisy?

Oh that's right, you must be misinterpreting Don Quixote

You don't walk up to any old kettle and call it Black.... or Pot for test matter....... its so yesteryear

 

[securespark]

are you religious ?

Holidays like Christmas and Easter are available to everyone, whether they worship Jesus, Mohammad or the Soup Dragon, or indeed, nobody at all.

Soup Dragon, or indeed, nobody at all.

People worship the soup dragon? I knew it! The BBC is full of evil lefty cultists!

 

[securespark]

Ahem. I worship the Soup Dragon....

 

[Deleted member 174758]

Ahem. I worship the Soup Dragon....

Would that be the Church of Campbells or the Church of Heinz?

Would that be the Church of Campbells or the Church of Heinz?

Heinz, every time.
I imagine the Dragon's brew is a souped-up version of Big Soup, with chunks of meat and veg floating amidst a hearty stock. Herbs of choice according to season, but always with Tarragon.

I make my own.

This week so far, I have made carrot and coriander and celery, apple and tomato.

If soup did not exist we would have to invent it?

So, will all the anti-monarchists on here be taking the day off for the funeral or will they be sticking to their principals and working through?

Emergency services and essential workers normally work bank holidays, don’t they?

Of course they do, along with loads of others who work voluntarily on bank holidays.
Your original comment that started this interchange conflated working on a bank holiday with being an anti-monarchist, which is evidently nonsense, and you have now swivelled to admit it.

Surely it’s written into their contract with time off in lieu.

It's irrelevant whether it 's written into their contract or not, they still work! It doesn't make them anti-monarchist!

What are public holidays to do with the monarchy in any case?

Another completely irrelevant comment. Other than you made the connection between a bank holiday for the Queen's funeral and people working.

A large section of the British population do not obey British laws, British rules or the British government. This applies to the population, en masse, of whole towns. The authorities are either absent or turn a blind eye in these towns.

Back to the barricades with you. Your friends are calling for you. Can you hear them?
"Hey, conspiracist, come here and lie in this barricade." they're shouting.

Exactly, and nothing whatsoever to do with your opinion of the Royals.
