Prince Andrew has barely made a public appearance since the news of his transgressions broke in 2019. To say the protestors had years to heckle him but chose to wait until now is plainly wrong.clb74 said:
But most of these aren't protesting , it's more of a look at me.Swindon_Addick said:We've never had complete freedom of speech in this country. There are always limits, and it doesn't seem unreasonable to prevent protesting against the monarchy in a place where monarchists and others are mourning the Queen. There are plenty of places where people can protest without causing so much offence, if they wish.
I'd be staggered if any of the protesters are actually prosecuted, unless any of them have used or incited violence. The police are just preventing the peace from being disturbed, and avoiding the risk that some angry monarchist will smack someone who they think is being disrespectful. Which is one of the things the police are there for. They're in a very difficult position but, unlike some other protests in the past, I think they're doing a good job on striking a balance.
The fella with Prince Andrew yesterday, his had a couple of years to heckle him and shout abuse.7 -

You realise the man will only pop his head out into the public eye at the ONLY time he can't get any negative comments thrown his way.Manic_mania said:

He'll go back into hiding sitting on his millionaire Royal pension after this. Won't have to deal with the adult riff-raff ever again.3 -

a woman in Scotland opened a bottle of bubbly and had a derogatory sign up regarding the queens passing - had her chip shop smashed up and as been removed from the trade body of fish friars.clb74 said:

If you go back I wasn't actually referring to prince andrew. Somebody was arrested for an "abolish monarchy" sign I believe.SELR_addicks said:

Asking guests due to check in Monday to come a day late is understandable, but apparently if you're there over the Monday they are chucking people out for the day then letting them come back Tuesday!clb74 said:
Very off, who knows how far away those people have travelled from. Surely you'd just say facilities won't be open but you're welcome to stay in the lodge?

in a commerical world you need to have staff on site 24/7 no one wants to be that company that made staff miss the queens funeral.North Lower Neil said:

I'm sure there would be enough staff happier at more money for a quieter work day than having the day off & watching the funeral to make up the numbers.
Not in every business you understand, but ones like that where a bit of common sense could go a long way.1 -

And just about every business will have a skeleton staff working anyway. There will still be security staff even if everyone else is off.North Lower Neil said:

Our little piece of the UK, the British school in Madrid, will be closed for the day of the funeral. Although most of our students are Spanish I am glad we are doing so as we represent the UK and its institutions here and also the Queen was our patron.9

On Wednesday 14th September, some flights between 13:50-15:40 will be disrupted to ensure silence over central London as the ceremonial procession moves from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. Passengers affected by this will be contacted by their airline.
Throughout the period of national mourning, further changes can be expected at the airport, including:
- Observing the National Moment of Reflection with a one-minute silence at 8pm on Sunday 18 September.
- Showing Her Majesty the Queen’s funeral on screens at [Heathrow] airport on Monday 19 September.

Anyone else started watching the Crown on Netflix over the last few days?
I'm likely to stick with it now and can see its appeal.
The Crown - more mental than downtown Abbey0 -
I'm genuinely unsure what to think about this.
