The Queens passing as a fundamental change to be assimilated

cloudfire

Like alot of people Queen Elizabeth was the only monarch I'd ever known.  I feel sad at her passing, and remain in awe of her carrying out duties -  ones that I could not even comprehend trying to do - for 70 years, when it was never her choice.

But I think my reaction is more about the fundamental change in the status quo.  Our country is already on very rocky ground with poor environmental choices and the escalating cost of living and I feel that this event has just tipped things over the edge for me....

I wondered if anyone else had felt that way?

I feel like I need time to think about it and understand it, work out how it will affect me (media input, conversations, future impact) before I can get on with other things again.

    we elect new leaders every 4 years in the uk... infact we toss them out every 1 year so we change leaders every 1 or 2 years now..

    the queen was not a leader, had no power, she was a facade, a figurehead for the sake of tradition. so its not like getting a new leader, she wasnt a leader, and she did nothing. its more like some person you saw a few times who lives 5 doors down from you has died, but you dont care because they were nothing to you anyway. kinda like that lol

  • our country does not have poor environmental choices.... our country is one of the most environmentally friendly on the planet now as any first world country can easily accomplish, the burden of this environmentally friendly thing falls on third world countries that cannot afford to go green like the 1st world can do... they will be on coal while we are now next to 0 emissions, the coal produced power we do use we cop out of that by buying that from abroad which has made us so reliant on places like russia, but it shows we do not produce the environmentally damaging stuff anymore, at the worst we buy it from other countries that do the damage instead and yet they dont get any blame for it or criticism.

    the whole green stuff has sent us to our knees with full reliance on other countries now. it has weakened us and was a terrible choice. we have sold out our future not that i care as i have no kids and so personally cant look them in the eyes and tell them i allowed these people to make their future country weak and reliant on others and full of poverty lol its badly thought out by people that dont think on things hard enough or in wide enough scope. just another bullet wound in the wests brain on its way to collapse.

    the queens passing had no effect on me, as she didnt do anything anyway and i didnt know her and had no relationship with her.

  • you feel what everyone in other countries feels every 4 years, when it's time to ellect a new president to represent them, we can all agree in some cases it went awfuly wrong
