	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 9th of September 2022.
	I'm joined by Karl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the fact that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is dead, the leftists who could not help themselves, and Count Dankula being at it again in response.
	So I suppose we shall begin.
	Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is dead.
	Long live the king!
	And I think this segment's going to go on rather long, but I think it's justified, given the gravity of the event.
	I suppose we'll start just by mentioning here the Politics of the Crown video I did a long time ago, because one of the things I've noticed in response is a lot of people don't know anything that the Crown is meant to do, and the role she plays in her, what, seven decades of reign.
	And also, this death is obviously enormous for the UK and how we see ourselves psychologically.
	I mean, one thing that I think people outside of the UK have got to remember is she was older than almost everyone in this country.
	So there's almost no one in this country who even vaguely remembers a time before her.
	Yes.
	And also the fact that we've lost our psychological link with the past, with her passing as well.
	I mean, her first Prime Minister being Winston Churchill.
	I mean, there's a link there all the way back to the Victorian era.
	Living, which is now gone.
	An institutional connection to the war, which is gone.
	And also the...
	Last living connection to the Empire, frankly.
	Reign was one of which the entire Empire was decolonized.
	Yeah.
	With the exemption of Rhodesia, which we were asked to take back for all of five minutes, then hand over to Zimbabwe.
	Rather funny.
	Anyway, she also molded what the crown is and what it is meant to be, and that is what this video is about, laying out essentially how she made the crown what it is and is expected to be in future, which King Charles...
	The new king is not going to be able to change.
	I think he'd be unwise to change.
	Yeah.
	The UK, for people who don't know, has entered a 10-day mourning period for her death.
	The funeral will be meant to be held on September the 19th at Westminster Abbey.
	I'm told before then, for some period, it's being debated now for how long, her coffin will be open in Parliament for people to go down and see.
	The reason it's being debated about how long they're going to do it is just because how many people will turn up.
	The longest waiting time when the Queen Mother died was 12 hours to see her coffin.
	So this obviously will be much bigger.
	As we speak, there is a royal gun salute taking place in Hyde Park, and with that we shall begin with what happened.
	So, this is the first post we'll talk about today, being from the royal family, congratulating the fact that Liz Truss had become Prime Minister and had gone to see the Queen as its tradition to become Prime Minister, effectively.
	And one of the things that was noteworthy in this image is the fact that her hands in this image don't look particularly well.
	Yeah, they're purple.
	People don't know.
	Yeah, her hands were all purple and the tips of them incredibly white.
	And within a couple of days, BBC suspended all programming.
	Because if we go to the next one here, you can see live Bargain Hunt was on the British Broadcasting Corporation and was suddenly turned off, with the announcement being that the Queen was in ill health and being taken care of.
	Doctors obviously being concerned about Her Majesty's health.
	And then the news came that all programming was suspended until 6pm in the next link here.
	Mm-hmm.
	There is not a specific time given for when she died, just in the afternoon.
	Obviously, what will have likely happened is that she died at some point, or was going to die, and the preparations were made so that the entire Commonwealth could be told, our friends and allies could be told, and the preparations for what is going to come next could also be done.
	I mean, the fact that everyone on the BBC got their black ties and suits on implies that they knew.
	Yes.
	It is a plan that has been long since planned.
	Those black ties and suits were probably on a rail and have been sat there in plastic coverings for god knows how long for exactly this purpose.
	But I suppose, if we can get it up, John, the next one here, being the fact that a BBC journalist did accidentally tweet that the Queen was dead before the announcement was made.
	The reason for this, that is said, is because a fake account had tweeted it and this person believed it.
	Don't know about that.
	But if we go to the next one here, we should be able to see that there's also some fake news that came about at the time.
	Meghan Markle concerns that the Queen's death may yank her from the spotlight for a few days from the Babylon Bee.
	And then that actually happened.
	What?
	So the news came that Meghan Markle was not travelling to Balmoral with Prince Harry to visit the Queen before the announcement was made.
	I don't know why, but you know, it's traditional that British people make jokes in times of sadness to cope with the humour.
	And I just can't stop my brain from making dark jokes about Meghan Markle.
	Yeah, we don't actually know whether or not it was the Yank who decided this, or it was the family that decided she wouldn't come.
	Either way, it probably was best for both, and that was what happened.
	If we go to the next link here, we can see Calvin Robinson and people like him doing the expected thing.
	He made his prayers for the Queen, and then the news came that, yes, she has died.
	If we go to the next link here, we can see the news from the royal family being that she died peacefully in her Balmoral home this afternoon.
	The King and Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
	And then if we go to the next one here, we can see the official organs of the British state presumably have been told this is what's going to happen, made the graphs available, graphics available, and put them up.
	This is a bus stop.
	I don't know where.
	I believe this is in Sheffield, she says.
	And all over the country, basically every advertising agency that owns some kind of electronic advertising board switched it over to some message of Her Majesty the Queen has died.
	If you go to the next image here, we should be able to see in London...
	All the way down the street.
	Yeah.
	Different images.
	Here's the next link here.
	We can see, of course, the media as well.
	I'll just reference GB News here.
	I've changed all their logos and settings for the days of morning.
	All of the official organs of media, obviously, doing that is the right thing to do.
	It was also quite weird.
	We were sat in Rio's watching the news as it came out.
	And I did notice, I was speaking to Michael earlier, everyone was watching BBC News.
	Which is a bit strange, you would have thought, given the fact that everyone hates them, but it also felt like the right place to go for her, the news on her.
	Anyway, if we go to the next link here, we can see a statement from His Majesty the King about the situation.
	He says,
	so so widely held.
	Which is perfectly fine.
	Yeah, that's a good statement.
	Good statement.
	Go to the next one here.
	I saw Matthew Goodwin did do a good summation of the reason why this is so deeply held in the UK right now.
	For Americans, I did see a lot of British journalists messaging their American friends just being like, please, this is not like the death of a president.
	This is far bigger.
	Yeah.
	Goodwin writes, The Queen embodied the values that we have come to define these islands and our people.
	A sense of duty, dignity, humility, gratitude, faith, and belief in the nation.
	We feel such a loss because Her Majesty was one of us.
	As the Queen said, grief is the price we pay for love.
	With the next one here, we can see that the news broke out around Buckingham Palace, where a lot of people had gathered.
	First, apparently, there was silence, and then the people around the palace began singing, God Save the King.
	Hmm.
	It was rather emotional.
	Because the next one here, there is a more personal note to me I found more touching.
	There was a silence held at a football game in England, and the West Ham fans apparently just spontaneously began singing God Save the Queen, which is an interesting note.
	I suppose we'll play that and enjoy it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	That's nice.
	and Wonderful.
	We go to the next image here.
	We can also see a double rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace as the news broke that she had died.
	A lot of people were saying that this was metaphorically...
	Well, it's certainly auspicious.
	Part of the fact, because it was a double rainbow, it's like it's her and Philip, which is very nice.
	If you go to the next image here, we can see respects paid by the Black Cabs in London.
	The Black Cabs are very good at this sort of thing.
	People listening line themselves up on the road up to Buckingham Palace just to show a physical show of support.
	If you go to the next one here, we can see ITV went down and interviewed some of the cabbies.
	This chap in particular broke down crying, saying she was the one constant we had in all our lives.
	We no longer have.
	Here's the next image.
	We can see King Charles III. His face was captured as he left.
	Rightly saying here, he looks devastated.
	Well, it's up to him to become king.
	Here's the next one here.
	We can also see the Prime Minister's statement was made.
	Liz Truss.
	This was not a particularly inspiring statement, to say the least.
	The weirdest line in here being, Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built.
	She gave a speech.
	Same thing.
	It wasn't touching, frankly.
	I didn't think it was terrible.
	I didn't think it was awful, but it wasn't particularly poetic or romantic or anything noteworthy.
	I think it likely will just be forgotten, which is interesting for a number of reasons, mostly because Boris Johnson did a speech that was much better.
	Of course it was.
	We've got a next one here.
	People also did note that Liz Truss, in her youth, also was on camera multiple times calling for the abolition of the monarchy.
	Okay, yeah.
	Yep, didn't go down well.
	But if we go to Boris Johnson, he just did a much better job.
	He's issued a three-page speech on this.
	I've just cut out, as I will with the rest of these speeches, the most important parts, or at least the things I found most important, because of the sake of time.
	He says in here, This is our country's saddest day.
	In the hearts of every one of us, there is an ache at the passing of our queen.
	A deep and personal sense of loss.
	Far more intense, perhaps, than we expected.
	She seemed so timeless and so wonderful that I am afraid we had come to believe, like children, that she would just go on and on.
	This is our country's saddest day because she had a unique and simple power to make us happy.
	That is why we loved her.
	That is why we grieve for Elizabeth the Great and longest serving and many ways finest monarch in our history.
	Though our voices may still be choked with sadness, we can say with confidence the words not heard in this country for more than seven decades.
	God save the king.
	Much better statement.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, he's a much more poetic person than Liz Truss.
	Yes.
	You would have thought they'd have speechwriters, but he seems to have written this himself.
	We go to the next one here.
	We can see Parliament and parliamentary business has been suspended, obviously.
	The notes in here from the Telegraph saying, The House of Commons will sit at noon today for MPs to pay tribute to the Queen in a session due to last until 10pm.
	Ten solid hours.
	There will also be a rare Saturday sitting where senior MPs will take an oath to King Charles III from 2pm.
	Which is the right thing to do, obviously.
	If you have the next one here, we're just going to enjoy some of the imagery that has come out of this event.
	This here being Buckingham Palace, in which people have been laying flowers.
	There are instructions on the Queen's website about what to do if you go to any of her states.
	The next one here is just...
	There should be an evening photo in there if you can, John.
	But this one here is being Windsor Castle as well, where a rainbow was also seen on flag, but half-masked.
	Suppose if we go to the next one, we can see this as being in the United States.
	All the American official buildings flew their flags at half-mast, which is obviously very nice.
	Very moving touch from our friends.
	And if we now go to the foreigners, I suppose, there are a lot of foreign statements in solidarity.
	Some of them better than others.
	This is just the image I was talking about earlier, this being Buckingham Palace in the evening, people coming down with their umbrellas.
	Master do, I suppose.
	We'll start off with the French response to Majesty's death.
	This one, I think, actually the most touching.
	This is a love letter, frankly, from President Macron.
	He writes in here...
	She held a special status in France and a special place in the hearts of the French people.
	No foreign sovereign has climbed the stairs of the Elysee Palace more often than she, who honored France with six state visits and met each of its presidents.
	For her, French was not merely a relic of the Norman ancestry that persisted in so many customs, but an immediate, sorry, intimate, cherished language.
	The Queen of Sixteen Kingdoms loved France, which loved her back.
	This evening, the people of the United Kingdom and of the Commonwealth are mourning for their Queen, and the people of France join her in their grief.
	The Canadians I chose next, just prioritising Kanzuk, of course.
	Justin Trudeau actually did a good job.
	Well, someone wrote that for him.
	Perhaps.
	Yeah.
	He writes in here, For most Canadians, we have known no other sovereign.
	Queen Elizabeth II was a constant presence in our lives.
	Time and again, Her Majesty marked Canada's modern history over the course of 70 years and 23 royal tours.
	Queen Elizabeth II saw this country from coast to coast to coast and was there for all of our major historical milestones.
	She would proclaim, It is good to be home when returning to her beloved Canada.
	She was indeed at home here, and Canadians never ceased to return her affection.
	Her Majesty vowed to devote her life to the service of the Commonwealth and its people.
	On behalf of all Canadians, I thank Queen Elizabeth II for honouring this vow and for a lifetime of service.
	On behalf of the Government of Canada, I express our heartfelt condolences to members of the Royal Family during this most difficult time.
	Very good statement.
	Nice.
	Here's the next one we can see the Australians who also decided to organise a 96-gun salute immediately in response, which was very touching.
	The Prime Minister there wrote a statement saying, From her famous trip, sorry, her famous first trip to Australia, the only reigning sovereign to ever visit, it was clear Her Majesty held a special place in her heart for Australia.
	Fifteen more tours before cheering crowds in every part of our country confirms that a special place she held in ours.
	Even New Zealand managed to do a good job.
	Oh, really?
	Jacinda Ardern, who previously has been very critical of the monarchy, actually managed to do a decent job and come out and announce a period of mourning.
	Give a statement in English for once.
	That too.
	Rather than native Chinese.
	Go to the next link here, we can also see the Americans who did a very wonderful thing as well.
	Saying here, the US President ordering all flags on all public buildings throughout America and on its embassies around the world to be flown at half-mass until the Queen's funeral in 10 days' time.
	Remarkable for Joe Biden.
	That is true.
	Joe, I'm not talking to the BBC because I'm Irish, Biden.
	I was quite worried about what on earth he would actually do in response.
	I don't know if he's given a significant statement in response, but we're good to Trump's because, frankly, it's more interesting.
	Donald Trump came out and said, Which is very true.
	If you go to the next one, please, John, for Trump's speech.
	One of the things that is amazing about the monarchy and people really undervalue was actually very well pointed out in The Crown which is that if the Prime Minister and the American President fall out of God knows what reason That's usually a death sentence for diplomatic relations at that level for any other country.
	Whereas because we have the monarchy, the Queen can invite the American president to dinner and make friends and woo him that way.
	Yeah.
	I'll be up to Charles.
	Trump continues, Melina and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen and never forget Her Majesty's gracious friendship, great wisdom and wonderful sense of humour.
	what a grand and beautiful lady she was there was nobody like her he also goes on to talk about Charles III saying who I have gotten to know well will be a great and wonderful king he dearly loves you in the knighted kingdom and all that it represents to the world he will prove to be an inspiration to everyone Queen Elizabeth has been and will be from above very proud of King Charles III that's nice Bolsonaro somehow outdid this.
	Which is weird, because Bolsonaro in Brazil is obviously not part of the Commonwealth.
	He's not even a major ally like the United States.
	Instead, I don't know where this came from.
	Presumably just deeper faction.
	Gave a beautiful speech saying.
	May God receive her in his infinite goodness and comfort her, her, family, and the British people.
	On this sad date for the world, we decree three days of official mourning and invite all the Brazilian people to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
	God save the Queen.
	Again, like, not even just a nice statement, I officially decree three days of mourning in Brazil.
	We even got good messages from someone who is a geopolitical enemy at this point.
	Obviously, Vladimir Putin issued a statement as well, which managed to do good.
	He says in here, I wish you courage and perseverance in the face of this heavy and irreparable loss.
	I ask you to convey the words of sincere sympathy and support to all the members of the royal family and all the people of Great Britain.
	I suppose that's that.
	That's the responses and the event, which I think are going to go down in history.
	I suppose we'll see what happens at the funeral and how Charles does as king.
	I mean, this is the end of an epoch.
	Yes.
	This is truly...
	The Elizabethan age is over.
	Yes.
	We as Elizabethans are also no longer that.
	I mean, she was Britain's longest reigning monarch.
	The second longest reigning monarch in all of world history.
	Only being nailed by...
	He was made king of what, like two?
	Yeah.
	And with this, I mean, I do wonder.
	We were talking about it in the office yesterday.
	About the fact, I mean, especially with the connection to Great Britain.
	Whenever you speak to an American or any kind of foreigner who comes here, they rightly observe, and I think most of us observe...
	The British have never really let go of their empire in a psychological way.
	We all think of ourselves in that manner still.
	Or at least most of us do.
	And I think with her death this may be a turning point in that psychological viewpoint.
	What do you think?
	I think that what Elizabeth's death is showing us is the distinction between a traditional society and a social contract society.
	There's this, there was a thing from like the Irish Times a while ago being like, we don't really understand why Britain's obsessed with their monarchy.
	You know, it's like living next to a neighbor who loves clowns and, you know, blah, blah, blah.
	And it's like, yeah, because this country isn't based on an abstract contract.
	We're based on sentiments.
	And it's this how we feel about the country is what keeps it all together.
	And the sacred aspects of it.
	Yes.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's entirely how we feel about it.
	We feel that things are sacred.
	We feel things are done.
	And this is very much, to me, making that distinction.
	Because when the president in America dies, who cares?
	Yeah.
	Who cares?
	No one cares.
	It's nowhere near the same level.
	No.
	It's a sad moment and you think, you know, very sorry for the Americans.
	But even the Americans get over it.
	Because it's all based on a document.
	You know, it's formal.
	It's abstract.
	It's, you know, something that is not a kind of living organism, in a way.
	And that's what I think all of these people are speaking to.
	All of the world leaders are speaking to when they say fine things.
	I mean, there's a real recognition globally.
	What's kind of sad about all that, though, is that with her death as well, we're losing that network, that influence, and that years of soft power.
	It's hard to imagine that Charles is even going to be able to vaguely step into these giant boots, right?
	He won't.
	I mean, even just on the age basis alone, he's not going to be able to.
	You were saying yesterday there's a kind of magic that she had and that is gone and that's true.
	So the question is what's next?
	I suppose we'll just end off with talking about some of the best moments, or at least the most appreciated moments that people had about Her Majesty.
	We'll start off here, just one I saw floating about, which, regardless of politics, everyone can appreciate this photo.
	If you can make it a bit bigger, please, John.
	for people listening it is when she was burying her husband publicly and she had to sit on her own separated from her entire family with a black mask on yes no one knows what these people's opinions are and that is obviously the triumph of her rule and the status she set herself but I can't imagine she was actually very happy about any of this no one was No.
	Even putting up with all their BS for all those years.
	The next one here is just a wonderful image I saw popping around.
	This is the Queen firing a rifle that was set up for her.
	And the best bit just being the chat behind her, just the smile.
	Yeah, go on, Mom.
	The next one I saw many Americans and people who have ties to the United States loving was, of course, after 9-11.
	she broke a 600 year tradition and ordered the musicians to play the Starred Spangled Banner which is very true as well.
	The next one for many British people most recently being the Paddington Bear sketch in which they animated Paddington Bear having tea with the Queen and it just ends off with thank you mom for everything which is it's strange because the people who made that you can imagine they made that with it in mind that she will be dead soon and we all knew she's old yeah nice for her to have lived through that One thing that did stand out to me, though, is just the random stories.
	I mean, everyone's seen them on TV from various people who have gone to meet the Queen, and everyone's always got a funny story or something, or the story about how they met the Queen.
	This one's just hilarious, though, and is somewhat personal, I imagine.
	This is a chap who had been knowing the Queen for a long time, going up with her to Balmoral, and he tells the story of when he and her were out hiking one day, and they ran into two Americans who didn't recognize her.
	I suppose we'll play and listen to this.
	Normally, on these picnic sites, you meet nobody, but there was two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello.
	And it was two Americans on a walking holiday.
	And it was clear from the moment that we first stopped, they hadn't recognised the Queen, which is fine.
	And the American gentleman was telling the Queen where he came from, where they were going to next, and where they'd been to in Britain.
	And I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said, Her Majesty, and where do you live?
	And she said, well, I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.
	And he said, well, how often have you been coming up here?
	Oh, she said, I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.
	And you could see the clogs thinking.
	He said, well, if you've been coming up here for 80 years, you must have met the queen.
	And as quick as a flash, she says, well, I haven't.
	The dick here meets her regularly.
	So the guy said to me, you've met the Queen, what's she like?
	And because I was with her a long time and I knew I could pull her leg, I said, oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour.
	And the next thing I knew, this guy comes round, put his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, gives it to the Queen, and says, can you take a picture of the two of us?
	Anyway, we swapped places, and I took a picture of them with the Queen, and we never let on, and we waved goodbye, and then Her Majesty said to me, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows us photographs to the friends in America, and hopefully someone tells him who I am.
	It's just golden.
	I suppose on that note we'll just end it with a picture of King Charles III and God Save the King.
	There is some politics in this I think is worth mentioning for foreigners.
	Yeah.
	Of course, instantly he becomes king.
	There's no ifs or buts about that.
	That's how the crown works.
	But he can resign and have it move on to William.
	And there's been a lot of chatter within the British public about what they would prefer.
	And I can't imagine the royal family don't know this.
	Yeah.
	And so, I'm not saying anything will happen, but if something does, and Charles decides he doesn't want it and moves on to William, there's a few reasons why, for people wondering.
	Just firstly, on popularity alone, polling on what people think of the royal family.
	Most recent one on Queen Elizabeth yielded a 75% approval rating from YouGov.
	Meanwhile, Charles got 42% approval.
	To be honest with you, I'm kind of surprised it was that high.
	Yes.
	There are a few reasons.
	Firstly, on a Christian perspective, his adultery, which is quite incompatible with being a role model.
	His romantic life has been gross.
	There's also his inability to shut up, which has...
	Become such a thing that even the Crown, when they were making a video about him, their lives, I sent you the clip yesterday, where there's a scene where Her Majesty, when Charles is younger, after he's crowned the Prince of Wales, just explains to him, no one wants to hear your voice.
	And it's really kind of coarse, and you're like, okay, that's her role.
	And he looks destroyed by it.
	But he never took that message on and continued.
	I mean, just some that are listed on Wikipedia that I'm just going to read.
	I mean, just him having views on genetically modified crops.
	There was a political issue during Tony Blair.
	Climate change, obviously, joining the World Economic Forum constantly.
	He also once hinted at the rejection of the title of Defender of the Faith.
	Oh, yeah, because he wanted Defender of Faiths, didn't he?
	Yes.
	It's like, look, mate, you are the head of the Church of England.
	Act like it.
	I don't know what his personal views are.
	He's a Blairite, for Christ's sake.
	Who knows, I suppose.
	He also has no children, which is not good.
	What?
	Pretty sure he doesn't have any heirs.
	Like, if you go down the line, it goes to William instead of to his side.
	But William was his son.
	Oh, sorry, yes, yes, sorry.
	Ha!
	Ha!
	My mistake.
	You're thinking of Harry.
	Yeah, I'm thinking of Harry.
	But there's also the fact that he's as old as an American president, as you mentioned yesterday when we're eating.
	We're eating away and we're like, how old is he?
	And it's like, oh, he's 70-something.
	Oh, 73.
	He's as old as an American president.
	It's ancient.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, kind of.
	Isn't Joe Biden 78?
	Yeah.
	So he's nearly as old as an American president.
	I imagine this used to be fine, but after Elizabeth, there's actually somewhat of an expectation that he should, whoever the monarch is, should be young.
	I would prefer William.
	Yeah.
	Whereas William is 40 and has a 66% popularity rating and none of the adultery or any other baggage.
	Yeah.
	Actually has a good representative family.
	Yeah.
	So most likely, it seems, from what we've seen from the establishment, it will be King Charles III. However, I thought mentioning all that is wise, because if all of a sudden he does resign the crown and it moves on to William, then that will be the reason why.
	It doesn't come out of the blue.
	No.
	Otherwise, Queen is dead.
	Long live the King.
	Well, you knew we were going to do it, right?
	We had to go through the worst takes about the Queen's death.
	And what's remarkable, though, is it's actually a bunch of people posting their L's about the Queen and Britain.
	Being like, look how great she was.
	We suck.
	It's like, that's weird for a bunch of communists.
	I would have thought you guys would have been more angry.
	But anyway, it's been kind of...
	But in a way, actually not kind of annoying.
	Just watching...
	So you've got all the world leaders, as you've just shown, being like, you know, the people of dignity and respect actually being dignified.
	And then you've got the losers.
	And what are their takes?
	Resentful, you know, mean, jealous.
	I think it's right to say the losers to Britain as well.
	Yes.
	The Argentinians.
	Oh, God.
	The Irish.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	The Irish and black Twitter are just like, yes, we both suck.
	And it's just like, okay, is now the time for that flex?
	There is a distinction to be made there.
	I have noticed Africans overwhelmingly understand and respect.
	Oh, I didn't say African Twitter, did I? No.
	I did not, no.
	Caribbean Twitter, we could call it.
	This is...
	Moulding.
	Hard, actually.
	But anyway, before we start, if you want to support us, go to Loci's.com and check out this new article by John Tangney, being a conservative on campus.
	It's very much what being a conservative on Twitter is like at the moment, in fact.
	But this is an excellent article, obviously, because Johns are always excellent.
	And there's an audio track as well if you don't want to have to read it.
	So anyway, let's begin with before the news was broken.
	And there is a kind of culture in this country among the sort of millennials, the sort of millennial age sort of products of Tony Blair, who don't understand why they should treat these things with a bit of dignity.
	And we saw this from Politics Joe, right?
	So they posted a joke yesterday yesterday.
	If you can get the first image up, just so we can see it.
	You know, the exact moment renowned Republican Liz Truss poisoned the Queen.
	Now, it's not an unfunny joke.
	I've got to be honest, you know, because, you know, the news have gone out.
	The Queen's, you know, ill.
	And so everyone's like, oh, God, this is it.
	She had been ill a few times previously.
	Yeah, fine.
	But this everyone was taking this one very seriously.
	And as you pointed out earlier, Liz Truss indeed was a Republican when she was a Liberal Democrat.
	Now she's the leader of the Conservative government.
	But people were like, well, this is a bit bad taste, isn't it?
	And they were like, well, should we have waited until she's dead or what?
	Again, like...
	It's like milk?
	Yeah.
	This isn't a social contract society.
	We didn't vote for the Queen.
	There's more to it than this.
	This is inappropriate, I have to say.
	And so, all we got from...
	After her death was announced, all we got from people at Twitter was giant L's.
	Just constant...
	I mean, this being a joke about it, but honestly, this is exactly what they're saying.
	I was colonized.
	Okay, loser, what now?
	You're 20.
	Yeah.
	And I don't care.
	I hate you.
	And I'm glad that you suffer.
	What do you want?
	They haven't.
	I know, I know.
	But even when they're like, oh, show me some sympathy.
	No.
	No, you're an insufferable Zuma communist.
	I've got no sympathy for you at all.
	And also one of the things to do.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This is about me.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Now of all times.
	You could have posted this yesterday or the day before and I wouldn't care.
	I'm like, oh, that's terrible for you.
	But now you're using it.
	You're trying to weaponise what you believe to be your wounds against Britain, the concept of Britain, the British public, the monarchy, and the history of this country.
	So, no, no.
	If that's the road we're going down...
	Good.
	You suck.
	Get used to it.
	Let's begin, right?
	So, look at this one.
	This is just amazing.
	This was incredible.
	I heard the chief monarch of a thieving, raping, genocidal empire is finally dying.
	May her pain be excruciating.
	Oh dear, Uja.
	Oh dear.
	This person got the tweet deleted.
	Twitter will like that.
	This violated the Twitter rules.
	What rules?
	Who knows?
	I don't actually think that violates the written rules.
	I don't think it does!
	I think someone at Twitter realised, oh crap.
	Now is not the day.
	Now is not the day.
	The emotional feeling...
	I don't know what it's like in the colonies or elsewhere.
	But, I mean, in the UK, this is really disgusting.
	Yeah.
	And so I imagine someone at Twitter UK was just like, no, no, they're not having this.
	Which is good.
	And so, I mean, she'd continue posting other things.
	You go to the next one, she's like, replying to someone who's like, scroll up so you can see what she's replying to.
	But the person is like, well, that's a hateful thing to say.
	She's like, I only wish my hatred had the effect on her that her monarchy had on my people.
	It's like, oh God, I'm hearing losers.
	The echoing screeches of losers throughout the ages.
	Is that what you want to be?
	Is it Uju?
	You want to be this just intergenerational loser?
	My people.
	My people lost.
	Okay.
	My people didn't.
	Now what?
	But also, what do you mean my people?
	She's an American critical race theorist, so somehow the British monarchy is bad.
	But that's the thing, isn't it?
	Let's be charitable.
	And so she is a descendant of American slaves.
	She has some kind of victim points.
	It's like, the hatred of my people?
	No.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	Hang on now, I've got the King of Benin on the phone.
	Oh, he says suck it.
	Oh, sorry, I don't know what to tell you.
	Kevin Bay not just like, blue.
	Loser!
	Exactly!
	Okay, loser, what do you want, you know?
	But this person is a professor of applied linguistics, anti-racist, feminist, blah blah blah, right?
	And weirdly enough, it was Jeff Bezos that drew attention to this person, because he retweeted her, being like, is this someone who's supposedly working to make the world better?
	I don't think so.
	Wow, it's like...
	Okay, Mr.
	Bezos.
	Jeff Bezos.
	Monica.
	Okay.
	But she works at a university, and the university even came out and denounced her, which is remarkable.
	If you can go to the next one, you can see the universe being like, well, we don't condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by this black nationalist radical in response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Because...
	Yeah, not because they have any ideological problems with it.
	Well, that's exactly what Leo posted underneath, actually.
	He was like, don't gaslight us.
	You hired her exactly because of the views and values she's shared today.
	Don't pretend you find these views unappealing now that the death of a monarch has made them temporarily unfashionable.
	Take some ownership.
	That's a great statement by Leo.
	That is actual gold.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's pure gold, right?
	Anyway, so I thought we'd go to Nigerian royalty next.
	For people who don't know.
	So this is Dr.
	Shola.
	Dr.
	Shola is very persistent on Wikipedia.com to hide her own origins.
	People have updated it many a times, showing her tweets where she boasts about being descended from Nigerian royalty.
	But since she's become a massive left-wing activist in the UK, S-ing on the royal family...
	It's unfashionable.
	She's been trying to hide it.
	But isn't that interesting?
	Suddenly her attacking Queen Elizabeth...
	Well, it's fellow royals of a certain class.
	Because, I mean, my family is in any way related to the monarchy.
	I'm not descendant of a king somewhere, but Dr.
	Shola is.
	And so she's like, yeah, look at that victorious monarchy over there.
	I wish our monarchy had kicked ass like their monarchy.
	No, Dr.
	Shola, unfortunately it didn't.
	Unfortunately, your monarchy sucked.
	Don't know what to tell you.
	But I love this, right?
	No whitewashing the Queen's legacy.
	You can't revere her as a global leader and not acknowledge her as a colonizer queen of British Empire.
	Oh dear, the envy coming out here.
	If only I was the colonizer queen of the Nigerian Empire.
	That's what I'm hearing, right?
	She had no credibility on systemic racial inequality, which she didn't stand out against, but benefited from.
	It's like, well, she was a decolonizer.
	Like, it was under her tenure that the British Empire was decolonized.
	So what possible place to complain do you have?
	I mean, as I mentioned, I can only think of one place that we did colonize under her rule, and it was Rhodesia, because the Rhodesian government asked us to do it so that we could hold free and fair elections so it could immediately be decolonized to become Zimbabwe.
	Yes.
	But that's the one act of colonization it was to decolonize somewhere.
	At best.
	If you can even really consider that an act of colonization.
	Nonsense.
	Anyway, so Dr.
	Shola continues, of course.
	Britain is the great country today because of her, says Liz Truss.
	Oh, okay.
	Go on, Dr.
	Shola.
	The Queen can't be the reason for Britain's greatness, but not the reason for atrocities.
	As colonize a queen and doing nothing about systemic racism today, people can like her for one and dislike her for the other.
	Well, that is actually contradictory, but it just doesn't make any sense, Doctor.
	And again, like, sorry, what's the official title of Nigerian royalty?
	Maybe I should use that.
	Her Royal Highness.
	Her Royal Highness.
	Dr.
	Shola Moz Shog Bamimu.
	But there's something interesting about those two examples, that university and this one, which is that any other day of the year, any other day of the century, frankly, we have this problem.
	The left dominate the cultural space in every possible institution.
	When it comes to the monarchy, this is the one place in England, and we had it with the Jubilee, where when the leftists do their shrieking nonsense, everyone disavows it.
	Everyone shuts it down.
	It's like, we have nothing to do with that.
	Please don't say we have anything to do with this.
	Whereas any other day, she could have tweeted some crap like this about colonizing the university.
	And the university would have actually shaken her hand and given her a grand.
	And be like, yes, please come work for us.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, moving on from Dr.
	Shola, when have black folks ever gotten the chance to mourn?
	Because British people have got two weeks off to mourn because the Queen has died.
	It's like, well, that actually does include black people in Britain.
	They actually get two weeks off too, or ten days or whatever it is.
	No one gets a day off actually.
	Oh well.
	She's thinking days off work.
	She's a moron.
	Yes, I was going to say, I didn't actually, I'm not actually aware that anyone gets days off work.
	So, the rule is that we are meant to get a bank holiday if it's announced by the palace, for the funeral and for the coronation of course.
	Right, okay.
	Not the days of mourning.
	No.
	So this person, again, knows nothing.
	Brilliant academic research by Dr.
	Jem M. Jackson.
	I'm an academic and I can't even do Google searches.
	I could have looked up the Wikipedia page, but I didn't.
	But I love the way the idea that it's like, yeah, so all of the British people get the days off to mourn and black people get back into the mines.
	I don't know.
	What does she think is going on here?
	Yeah, London's still at work.
	We're all actually just partying.
	Yeah.
	But then there's a Twitter account called Leftism for You, which gave us just a selection of just some of the dumbest and worst takes, right?
	The worst part about the death of Queen Elizabeth is that Donald Trump hasn't been arrested for espionage, sedition, or treason.
	It's like, really, now's the time, is it?
	There's a thing about Yankees and the Monarchy, isn't there?
	There is, and it's just deranged.
	I mean, if you can just scroll down through this thread, you can just see it's just, like, bad take after bad take.
	The Queen isn't going to see your jokes about her, but your friends who are 150-year-old genocidal racist British colonists will.
	What?
	Name the person you're talking about, Jeremiah.
	Name the genocide.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It just doesn't happen.
	It's just nonsense.
	No, but it's just, you know, losers posting URLs.
	We got crushed by the British.
	Yeah, you did.
	It's not a racial thing either.
	They have these black nationalists trying to make it about race.
	But you'll notice that it's the Irish and the Argentinians and everyone else.
	What did the Argentinians post?
	There was a guy I saw on Argentinian TV. He opened a bottle of champagne and was drinking it and trying to make a big thing about it, trying to be super high energy.
	But you could tell it was so forced.
	Like, this is utter cope that you're a loser.
	Why don't you go and open that bottle on Las Nalvinas?
	You know, again, just like...
	Apply for a visa.
	Exactly!
	Like, sorry, losers.
	I'm sorry that, you know, you suck.
	But anyway, Britain colonized Africa, didn't you know?
	I did know.
	Let's be honest.
	Britain violently colonised Africa.
	They brutally murdered our ancestors.
	They brutalised our mothers and fathers.
	Yeah, we did.
	When they were like, we're going to trade slaves, we're like, not under our watch.
	Or if they tried to kill us.
	If we just killed everyone we met, there wouldn't be any black people.
	Like, that's how that works.
	99 red balloons playing in the background.
	This is the true legacy of Queen Elizabeth as far as Africa is concerned.
	Right.
	When we appeared in Rhodesia, when Cecil Rose turned up, the wheel hadn't been invented.
	Like, the locals actually hadn't invented, like, a wheelbarrow.
	And when we left, there were jet planes.
	Yep.
	But, you know, our evil civilization was destroying their glorious nothing.
	Good thing we returned to hell where we came from, isn't it?
	But anyway, again, just massive L being posted.
	Just like, oh, we suck, and you guys kicked our arses.
	Okay, fine.
	Moving on.
	Down with colonialism.
	I love this so much.
	It's literally like international L day.
	The Irish, the Africans, the Arabs, and the people of the Caribbean were all massacred under the colonial realm of Elizabeth.
	No, they weren't.
	They weren't, actually.
	But let's just take it through.
	Why are there so many Arabs?
	Okay.
	Fucking L. What?
	What?
	But also, I love seeing Arabs do this kind of stuff.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because it's so different.
	Oh, yeah, the Arabs.
	Oh, the poor Arabs.
	Oh, God.
	What if they ever impressed anyone?
	Oh, God.
	You know?
	You've oppressed the Africans that don't look at us.
	There are no black people in all of Arabia.
	You took a lot of slaves, but why are there none there?
	Just keep Googling that.
	You castrated them all.
	But also, how's that United Arabia going?
	Brilliantly.
	How is it that there was Arabic spoken in Spain and India?
	How did that happen there, anyway?
	Right.
	So they say, you know, we will never forget, we will resist till all our lands are liberated from the shackles of colonialism.
	What?
	What are you talking about?
	You're going to have to liberate all of North Africa from the colonialism of the Arabs.
	Sure, but like, okay, from British colonialism, okay, that happened about 50 years ago.
	So, I mean...
	I mean, maybe the Pitkin Islands he's upset about still?
	British Virgin Islands, maybe?
	Maybe, but didn't mention them.
	No?
	They don't feel very oppressed either.
	They keep doing referendums and keeping us.
	Yes, yeah.
	But then the next one, of course.
	And I love that people under the boot of Elizabeth.
	Really, no one thought that.
	No one thought it.
	It's just so artificial, right?
	But anyway, the next one.
	Racism was outlawed in England in the 60s and it's been allowed to thrive.
	So why should black and brown people mourn?
	Um...
	It's amazing, isn't it?
	I mean, in the 60s, you couldn't say the N-word, whereas now, in the more liberal times...
	It's just constant.
	The BBC is like those N-words in Africa.
	It's amazing.
	It's just so delusional.
	It's like, no one thinks this.
	No one thinks this.
	But also, again, you just make yourself sound really incompetent.
	I'm pathetic.
	But again, any other day of the year, these people would be taken seriously by the mainstream.
	Well, incidentally, any other day of the year, they wouldn't have said something like this.
	And we've got a great example from Trevor Sinclair.
	If you can go to the next one.
	From 2020?
	Just two years ago, it was like, our Queen looked so fragile when addressing the nation earlier, but she was so genuine with humility.
	Her Majesty still inspired the United Kingdom.
	Right.
	So this...
	Two years later...
	Is utter performance by this...
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Everything about this is performative.
	Because, of course, Elizabeth didn't reign over a giant world-spanning empire.
	She was the queen of the decolonial period, and now they're all independent, and so their problems are all indigenous problems.
	They're your own problems.
	If your country sucks because it's full of...
	Corruption.
	Yes.
	Violence.
	Socialism.
	And, you know, just the...
	Instant infighting.
	Yeah, lack of rule of law, dangerous streets, all these other things that, you know, have arrived now that the British have gone back to hell.
	You know, you can sit there going, well, this is the British fault.
	It's like, hmm, but it's not, though.
	You know, actually take some responsibility for once in your life.
	Like we left you...
	We left you with trains and a working service.
	Yeah, civil service.
	Hospitals.
	As one Chinaman in a very famous documentary he founded, he turned back up and went, they left you these things and you destroyed them.
	We didn't even have these in China and now we have bullet trains.
	It's also tiresome.
	Anyway, the next one.
	She was the queen of many African, Caribbean, and Asian nations in our parents' generation and is still a leader of the Commonwealth.
	Her family oversaw the transatlantic slave trade.
	Her wealth comes both directly and indirectly from screwing black and brown people globally.
	It's literally it.
	It's the Screwing Black and Brown People Fund.
	The Queen Elizabeth Fund of Slavery.
	Donate, please.
	Exactly, yeah.
	Donate, please.
	Just, this bears no resemblance to reality.
	You know?
	It's like, okay, well, I tell you what.
	Britain should completely repent its interaction with this transatlantic slave trade and restore to Benin that which was taken.
	Um...
	I mean, the Libyans did.
	They took that back.
	Yeah, they did.
	I think the Congo's still out.
	It's going great in Africa.
	None of those evil colonialists aren't there.
	Anyway, next one.
	Africa, of course, was a very wealthy place.
	It wasn't tribesmen who hadn't invented the wheel.
	It was actually...
	Wakanda?
	Yes.
	Obviously Wakanda.
	Cecil Rhodes turned up and found Wakanda.
	Yes.
	And then, quotes, Britain stole untold trillions from Africa.
	I don't think we did.
	I actually don't think that was true.
	You didn't have untold trillions there, Adam H. Johnson.
	Obviously a native African name.
	You know, I can see the skin tone from here.
	Yeah.
	This argument, the most possible steel man of it you could ever hear, and you get it from Robert Conquest, just laying out.
	It's like, right, okay, so the argument is that we turned up and we built mines that they didn't have, so they actually couldn't access any of the raw materials below the earth, but we could, and then we took those raw materials, not a lot of them, on a national scale, now that we found out there's so much more there.
	Chinese are doing that for us.
	However...
	Because we took those raw materials, that's the money we took, fine.
	What did we spend to get them?
	It's not even worth the price we paid for the garrisons of these countries.
	Well, the reason that we decolonized is because we just couldn't afford the empire, because the empire cost us money.
	It's all documented.
	If we were making money, why would we not stay?
	Because we had writing, right?
	And so we wrote records, and we actually know exactly how much the empire cost in taxes every year.
	And weirdly, the British people were prepared to pay, because they thought it was a good thing to have around.
	That was why we had this empire, right?
	But what I find really interesting about this is that almost everywhere in sub-Saharan Africa, Wealth is valued in cows.
	That's how wealth is valued.
	How many cows you own.
	Sorry, go back, John.
	We're just going to talk about this for a second.
	So if we stole untold trillions from Africa...
	That's a lot of cows.
	That is a lot of cows.
	I mean, literally, you buy your wife by providing cows.
	This is literally what African tribes still do in the modern era, right?
	And so when we turned up, we must have been like, right, look at these herds that they've got.
	How many millions of cows did we ship back to Britain?
	Like, I want to know.
	I want to know.
	The movable wealth of the Africans was in cows.
	I'm not even joking.
	Yeah, I think if you go to South Sudan, like Miles does...
	You will actually find that they live like they did.
	Yes.
	They didn't actually have some Wakanda beforehand that they remember.
	There's cave drawings of like, oh, this is what we used to be before the evil British turned up.
	Yes.
	Their devil horns.
	And I remember years ago hearing this, apparently there's, I think it was a Maasai story, where basically they justify stealing other people's cows by saying, well look, all the cows on earth belong to us and they were stolen from us and so we're actually stealing them back and it's like, oh big brain, very clever.
	So yeah, the cow transit system from Africa to Britain is actually very unexplored in our historical documents.
	It's missing for some reason.
	So anyway, let's go on to the Communist Party.
	Don't know why we allow a Communist Party, but, uh, us and them, the vast gap in wealth between ourselves and British royals is growing by the year.
	Can't believe the royals are wealthier than I am.
	Shocking, really.
	I thought they'd be poorer than us.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Got the Queen and Dr.
	Shola and then the peasants at the bottom.
	Uh, But no longer is Britain's economy able to fund the royal's employment support allowance.
	Oh, there we go.
	Thank you.
	But foreigners who might not know, the economic argument is complete bunk as well on the monarchy.
	They own so much land.
	They make so much money from it.
	And we actually get a lot of that as the taxpayers from them because one of the kings went bankrupt.
	And so it made a deal that we give them an allowance and we get a bunch of the rent.
	And if they went as a private family again, who were just, you know, Mr.
	and Mrs., They would actually make far more money just on the rent on the land alone.
	And I can only imagine just how much in tourism Buckingham Palace brings in.
	Like, just spending money in the area.
	Because that's hard to measure, you don't even have to get to it before you even figure out, actually, no, we're making money.
	It must be so much money.
	And even then, right, it's the cultural prestige of having an institution that goes back in an unbroken lineage almost, apart from a very brief period where Oliver Cromwell was doing Puritan things, to Alfred the Great.
	Like, this is 1,200 years?
	You can't, like, you know, you can't make that up.
	You can't fabricate that.
	You can't put a price on such a thing.
	And so, like, you know, these losers who are like, oh, we want a republic.
	And I was watching the Vara Media stream, and some retard, like, super chatted in.
	I want a republic of the UK. You want a republic of the United Kingdom.
	At what point is he going to get that?
	Exactly.
	But, you know, the hosts on the viral movie, that'd be great, wouldn't it?
	It's like, idiots.
	Anyway, BBC4 was apparently the worst, though.
	Because BBC4, for anyone who doesn't know, it's Radio 4.
	It's where the snobbish Blairites listen and think they're better than everyone.
	Apparently, someone was listening to it and just tweeted out a bunch of statements that they heard.
	BBC Radio 4 is busy telling us about how the monarchy is at odds with society, which values equality, diversity and inclusivity.
	So the monarchy is at odds with posh communists.
	Yeah, good.
	That's kind of the point.
	By design, almost.
	It's not odds with the millions of people who are going to go and see the queen in state and going to go give their flowers and show their respect.
	It's not odds with the kingdom we live in, but, you know.
	The monarchy is about white inherited privilege.
	No.
	It's definitely about privilege.
	Yeah, it's about blood privilege, which is not about being white, because why am I not entitled to a place in it then?
	Exactly.
	Where's my crown?
	Why does Dr.
	Shola have a crown?
	Yeah, what's this white privilege helping black people?
	Believe it or not, black people have kings and queens too.
	It's at odds with our multi-faith, multi-ethnic society.
	Great work from our national broadcaster, of course, this person tweets.
	Defund the BBC? Yeah, absolutely.
	If there has been a break with the past now, okay, the BBC can go.
	If the Empire's over and that's it, the BBC can go.
	We don't need an Imperial broadcaster anymore.
	No, we do not.
	And we get the next one, which is a decolonization bad from the New York Times.
	Wait, what?
	Decolonisation bad.
	We should not romanticise her era.
	No, no, that's literally what they're saying, right?
	Maya Janosoff, a professor of history at Harvard, says we should not romanticise her era.
	The Queen helped obscure a bloody history of decolonisation whose proportions and legacies have yet to be adequately acknowledged.
	So Harvard isn't a university anymore.
	Imagine having a professor of history that thinks that.
	Well, I mean, what are we supposed to do?
	It's like, okay, the Indians and Pakistanis are massacring each other, right?
	But they didn't want us in charge.
	We literally said, bye!
	Yeah, it's not our responsibility to...
	No, you should have sent the army back in.
	Yeah, and recolonised them so they didn't kill each other.
	I've actually had this.
	Idi Amin's taken over.
	Well, sorry, how's that my problem?
	I've met some people who have Indian heritage who have argued to me that the British did this, and I literally just look at them in awe.
	They're like, we weren't there.
	They're like, yeah, that was the problem.
	I'm like...
	So what's wrong with us owning it to begin with then?
	Exactly, that's the thing.
	It's like, yeah, well, you know, you actually have a responsibility to come here and make sure that the peace is kept.
	It's like, well, we did do that.
	We can't be trusted.
	You complained about it.
	But I thought George Prime had a great response to all of this.
	All of this.
	George Alexopoulos, fantastic cartoonist.
	Go follow him, by the way.
	Everything he does is brilliant.
	But he's got a great, great couple of tweets here.
	Empire bad.
	Bitch, your life is dope and you wrote this on Twitter in English with your university education.
	If it wasn't for that evil empire, you'd be carrying a jug of water on your head right now.
	I'm sick of it.
	Boom.
	Absolutely done.
	He goes on, but we'll leave that one there because we're running over a bit.
	Fair enough.
	Well, I suppose we'll move to Count Dankula.
	Should be rather short.
	So, to try and lighten the mood, let's talk about Count Dankula.
	He's 50th in line for the throne, I think, as a count.
	Anyway, he noticed the mording about the death of her majesty, and the ridiculous statements being said by some of the foreigners and the locals, and he just went through having some fun.
	But we'll mention first, of course, if you want to support us, go over to losias.com, and you can check out the guest interview with Count Dankula here, being one of the epochs, a historic mad lads.
	But we shall begin.
	Because, of course, this meme succinctly puts how everyone is feeling.
	British people today, beans everywhere.
	Yep.
	Fair enough.
	Good meme.
	Fair enough.
	However, Count Dankula did want better, of course.
	If you go to the next one here, we can see him just tweeting out a picture of the Emperor on the Golden Throne with Liz as the face.
	A thousand Labour voters a day.
	All I'm saying is this is mimetically very good.
	Yeah.
	For people who don't follow 40k lore, the emperor is kept on the golden throne by sacrificing 1,000 souls, psychers to him.
	Yeah, 1,000 psychers a day, yeah.
	So sacrificing 1,000 labor voters is a fair deal, I would have thought.
	But he also, as you can see, changed his profile quite a bit.
	I don't know who does it.
	He's not a Supreme Court judge anymore.
	I can't believe it.
	It's mad, isn't it?
	He really gets around.
	He is now Dan McCulloch, Duke of Cumbernauld, OBE MVP, verified checkmark, with a very wonderful Photoshop.
	It's the verified checkmark and the profile picture that does it.
	It's absolutely perfect.
	I also love that he changed his description to Keeper of the Royal Hounds, 37th in line for the throne, and Crown Resprector, RG Deflector, I don't want to talk about Ireland, hashtag Rangers Football Club.
	It's just, oh, okay.
	People who don't know in Scotland, Rangers and Celtic have a very wonderful series of chants about each other that are banned.
	And if you do them, you get jail time.
	So that's how serious it all is.
	But let's go to him enjoying interacting with the randos, because he started getting nice responses from Americans, because if you've grown up on this, it's him saying, thank you, Mr.
	President, for your support.
	And some wonderful chap turned up and said, best wishes for you, Granny.
	That's kind.
	Thank you very much.
	Most of them did not go like this.
	Alright, okay.
	Because if you go to the next one, he responded to people saying, please say a prayer.
	Poor Sue at the bottom, his wife just, oh no!
	Please say a prayer for dearest grandmama.
	Sue's like, oh no, why do you hate grandmother so much?
	And then he started replying to other big threads, especially from the royal family here, saying it's a very dark day for the whole family.
	And there are a lot of morons in the world, specifically one Indian here who decided to be very moronic, responding with India wants its Kohundor back?
	Don't know what that is.
	And Dank just responds as, no, I love that restaurant.
	Very good.
	If we go to the next one here, there's also someone saying, what about the pedophile one?
	Which one?
	Can you narrow it down, please?
	The next one, of course, in the same vein.
	Darker than whatever Prince Andrew did.
	We don't talk about Uncle Andrew.
	Which is true.
	Yes.
	And the next one here being someone celebrating the whole thing.
	And a bright day for normal people.
	Yay, she's dead.
	And Dank responding, I've checked your profile and you're not normal.
	Her profile is indeed not normal, as we shall see.
	Socialist Hoodbilly from Kentucky.
	That image, the profile there, I don't know what to make of that.
	Schizotypical schizoid with fibro.
	Hearts cats, kawaii, and destroying capitalism.
	Stop ignoring COVID. With a mask emoji.
	Just mental.
	Just mental.
	Yeah, I think if this person's celebrating it, I think we'll leave them alone.
	They'll probably be celebrating their feces later.
	We'll go to the next one.
	We have more.
	There's someone responding, lol, at all these Royal D suckers out there.
	This is why everyone hates England.
	Dank responding, a Scot.
	I should have known.
	Disgusting.
	This isn't very nice, because of course it's Scottish.
	Next one being an Indian, just saying good riddance, and Dank saying, well said, the same thing was said in 1947, in regards to India.
	We had a lucky bloody escape, frankly, considering how everyone responded when we left.
	We started killing each other, like...
	Again, I can't get over the victim narrative I see from some Indians.
	Not all Indians, of course.
	When they speak about the fact that when you guys left, it all went to hell.
	And also, we hate you with being let's begin with.
	Pick one.
	I'm fine with whatever one you pick.
	Just pick one.
	There's also someone else saying here, from India...
	When die in hell, we will revenge Jaliwawa Bagh Massacre.
	One day, a warning to Britain from India.
	Dank going and the streets will flow with S. Which is also true.
	I'm pretty sure, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is the massacre in which a curfew was pronounced.
	The Indians ignored the curfew and the British commander in charge went, I did tell them, and then killed a whole bunch of them to send a message.
	The response at the time was not the British Parliament.
	What century was that?
	I believe that was in the 1800s, if I'm correctly remembering.
	All I'm saying is they don't know anyone.
	No, they don't.
	But also, the British Parliament didn't cheer on and go, thank you, dear Stalin, for sorting out the government.
	No, he was in trouble for that.
	No, the guy lost his rank.
	The whole Parliament was appalled.
	And even Churchill said a statement saying this was the worst day for all of British history.
	I was like, really?
	Huh.
	It's almost like we weren't the Soviets or the Chinese or the Japanese or the Indian government.
	No, anyway.
	We move forward.
	We will go to the next one here.
	Someone else saying, F her family.
	She's finally gone.
	The racist coloniser is gone.
	And him going, but those were her best qualities.
	Which is funny, because she didn't have any of those.
	But they would have been.
	Non-racist decolonizer.
	There's a wonderful scene, actually, in The Crown, when, I can't remember which country, but they decide to go Republican, they abandon the monarchy, and they start burning all the portraits, a big show of how we're communists now.
	And so, the government falls out with our Prime Minister, and so she just invites the leader to a dinner, And the dude's like, yeah, alright.
	Which is really funny.
	Because, obviously, they're like these African warlords who took over and did these terrible things.
	Ooh, but invited to dinner with the queen!
	None of them have any principals.
	They were probably educated in Oxford and Cambridge, and then were the only people in the area with the ability to take over.
	And they're just doing it for a lull, almost?
	Just for power?
	Well, it's for power, yeah.
	So they went on the dinner, and the scene in The Crown is actually her wooing him over, and then to the point he's like, ah, I'll take you back.
	It's just ridiculous how jolly some of this is.
	We get to the next one here.
	He also had some great memes about the Argies.
	No angry Argies, you can't have your island back.
	Lol, LaBelle.
	Oh, did someone's ancestors not do it very well at war?
	Yes.
	Not even ancestors.
	Many of them were still alive.
	Yeah, it was only, what, 1984?
	Yeah.
	Where is Geltieri?
	Was he killed in the end?
	Well, he must have been.
	I don't know.
	I don't care, because it's Argentinian history.
	Like the rest of the world.
	Doesn't care.
	I only care about white history.
	Long-running meme.
	Don't worry.
	It's true though.
	Let's go to the RGs, because the RGs of course were very bitter in response to that.
	One of them responding, keep on laughing, your queen dead, and no amount of money will bring her back.
	So just as you were saying before, right, all of these foreign takes on this really do sound as if everyone actually assumed Elizabeth was a mortal.
	Yes.
	The Argentinians seem to have taken the perspective that they're all celebrating because she can actually die.
	The British can lose, it turns out.
	They all have presumably told themselves, well, of course we don't, it's the British, they're immortal.
	They literally cannot lose anything they do.
	They literally treat Queen Elizabeth like she's a god-emperor.
	Oh, well, she's dead.
	Well, there we go.
	That's never happened before in British history, has it?
	It's like, no, we've never lost a king.
	I mean, I'm happy to keep letting them believe it.
	Well, yeah, but...
	It's like turning up to a tribe and they're like, are you gods?
	And you just go, yes.
	What, are we going to tell them no?
	Turn it up to the Argentinians and they're like...
	The Argentinian salty man responds.
	The world is cheering and celebrating.
	You are all disgusting morons and your tragedies bring the world together as everyone can point and laugh at the pain of this arsehole nobody likes.
	But everyone has lost to.
	Yeah.
	Because I saw...
	Oh, I wish I'd got this together.
	Like, I saw, you know, lefty Brits posting what I would consider massive dunks on the rest of the world.
	Like, you know, that map of the world where it's like 22 countries that Britain hasn't invaded.
	It's like, that's why nobody likes us.
	And so, well, that's why you can all cry.
	Exactly!
	That's why you can all cry about it.
	You know?
	I mean, we're happy to update the list.
	Yeah.
	If you insist.
	Yeah.
	However, thank you.
	But the last thing, I mean, this list is like, you know, highly misleading anyway.
	I mean, Argentina's on that, and it's like, yeah, but they invaded the Falklands, you know?
	We did actually want to know.
	We landed in the platter.
	Oh, did we?
	Yes.
	Oh, okay.
	Don't worry, we won.
	But they had it coming.
	But Dankula responding here, of course.
	Falkland's this, Falkland's that.
	Maybe you should try forking some girls.
	Which is fantastic.
	There's more RG posting as well from him in here.
	Here's the next one.
	It's such a lovely, nostalgic trip down memory lane.
	This is when Britain beat everyone up.
	It's like, yeah, that was nice, wasn't it?
	It's almost like we're at the funeral of Her Majesty, and there's all us and the friends and the family who know each other, and she's like, yeah, it's a tough time, but thanks for being here.
	And then all the salty bugreys turn up from the other side of the family who never liked her.
	But your side on the aisle just look over and go...
	That's so embarrassing.
	This is an embarrassing gathering!
	Combine all your GDPs, it's still nothing.
	Anyway, we go to the next one here as well.
	We also have someone in here, also moulding, some other foreigner, saying, Dark Yo Musu, don't know what that means.
	It's a Christmas for us.
	Now they've deleted it.
	It came very early this year.
	Next one, please, John.
	And Dankler just responding, Anna Wakanda forever to you too, my good man.
	I'm sure it's going very well.
	There's another one just to the Nazi family thing, of course, a picture of that traitor who went over and met Adolf Hitler.
	That was a picture.
	It was just like, Nazi family?
	It was like, well, he was invited to one barbecue, calm down.
	I mean, he did have to abdicate the throne, so...
	so...
	Yeah, for people who don't know.
	This was not, you know...
	This isn't the King of England.
	His Majesty just hanging out with Hitler.
	This was Edward after he resigned, became an international embarrassment, an embarrassment for the family, sort of in exile, and then went over and met the Nazis to orchestrate some kind of plan to get back on the throne if the Nazis won, which of course everybody hates him for.
	And doesn't recognize him as anything legitimate and then died in exile in France, which no one was particularly concerned about either.
	But if we go to the next one here, we have some Indian girl, of course, who's saying that, you know, well, this will be Britain in a few years, though.
	Ooh, really?
	Okay.
	Which is weird.
	Okay.
	Interesting, Doug.
	Yeah, that's very interesting.
	The Count, of course, could not respond with anything but touche.
	Good bats.
	No, no, that's good to know.
	You know, that's certainly not going to be inflaming any racists or anything.
	Being like, yeah, he's just sued.
	You could become Pakistan.
	It's like, oh, yeah, that's a good point.
	That is a bad thing.
	And then the last one here, of course, being that, well, the foreigners may have good points, but their names are funny.
	There you have it.
	Mr.
	Heroin here.
	I don't even care what you say.
	Your name is literally Heroin.
	There is one funny thing to mention here.
	I haven't mentioned it.
	It may not be fitting in this one, but more in yours.
	With the communists.
	Because you see all these communist shills come out, and they think it's their moment, and it's really not.
	To really cover themselves in glory this time.
	One of the things is that it's all young commies.
	It's all commies who are very young, do not know anything.
	I noticed that George Galloway didn't post that.
	No.
	Every elderly communist is actually producing statements of rest in peace.
	You know, the best we ever had.
	And it speaks to the fact that anyone who has any experience with these things actually does know, no, this is a big loss and actually was a great thing that we had going and is now gone.
	But anyway, we'll leave it on Mr.
	Heroin to continue to cry about the situation, and the Count will continue to be enjoying himself.
	Otherwise, that's the Count having fun.
	Just being told, if we can get that back up, just to let people know the message.
	So the public is allowed to visit 23 hours a day from day 6 to 9 of the morning period in London, if anyone is interested.
	I don't know how feasible it is, but I'd love to go down and be there myself.
	You can go in the middle of the night.
	Police are there 24 hours a day to make sure nothing happens as well, so if any commie tries something, they're going to lose.
	Close with that.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	I know that while all that can have been said about Her Majesty will have been said, the Clarion call must be, and is, the Queen is dead, long live the King.
	you Quite right.
	Correct.
	So, with the massive increase of trans kids and the parents and teachers that are pushing the agenda, it just reminds me of that D.D. Blanchard case, but on a grand scale.
	Like, almost every adult in these children's lives are pushing this agenda for their own woke points so that they have something to talk about at a dinner party.
	And I just can't fathom the thought process that goes behind it scarring your child for life.
	Yeah, it's mental, isn't it?
	I can't get over the...
	It's one thing because, I mean, the parents who are allowing that are clearly deluded or mad or something, right?
	Yeah.
	The medical practitioners...
	I don't think you can meet a medical practitioner who does this, who doesn't know it's evil, as evidenced by Matt Walsh's film.
	I mean, they get paid.
	Yeah.
	But when he sat down with that lady, he was like, well, you give drugs to kids that castrate them.
	She knew it was in the wrong.
	Yeah.
	But...
	But it's all about the framing.
	If they frame it in a certain way, they can persuade themselves that actually I can take money for this and I'm doing a good thing.
	You've seen the photos of the surgeons afterwards, next to the kid they mutilated.
	Yeah, it's disgusting.
	Creepy smiles.
	I mean, you've got to remember, Callum, that some people are just evil.
	Yeah, communism does exist.
	Yeah.
	Go to the next one.
	Today's episode of Thean School T finally gets around to doing what he said he'd do about two years ago.
	I have good news.
	The Lotus Eater civilization has finally been done in Stellaris.
	I realise that what's missing is the authentic voices and personalities that make the Lotus Eaters memorable.
	Imagine declaring war on a filthy Xeno species and hearing Callum say, We have declared war on the Infidel.
	Inshallah, brothers.
	As such, could Callum, or Carl, or whoever's there, say some iconic lines that I can clip and hopefully put in the game?
	Something for, We've declared war.
	We've won the war.
	We've lost the war.
	Anomaly detected.
	Our soldiers have landed on their homeworld.
	Alien species has made contact with us.
	Etc.
	Cheers, lads.
	Yeah, happy to.
	Love Stellaris.
	Great game.
	Although you're going to have to rework some of those values.
	Not happy about that.
	Did you see the values we've been assigned?
	No, what were they?
	Egalitarian.
	Pacifist.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	You know the ones I want, so you know what they do.
	You go and play Stellaris, you pick your...
	Yeah, I'll play Stellaris.
	You can pick what you want your faction to be like.
	We'll go to the next one.
	And we are told that at the request of the Queen, the Coldstream Guards Band played the Star Spangled Banner.
	Let's listen.
	Let's listen.
	For people listening, in case they're wondering, just a message here saying condolences for a monocular class.
	I think more reason to be said.
	Right, Rist says, Probably not, to be honest.
	Definitely the end of an era, I think.
	No one living will, for sure.
	No, no.
	Ben says, The spiffing Brit said that there will never be another monarch like Queen Elizabeth, and I'm inclined to agree.
	For most of us, she was always there as far as we were concerned.
	She would always be there, even we Americans are shaken by this, along with non-Anglo foreigners I've spoken to.
	Truly tragic.
	May God guide Britain this time.
	It is just remarkable how everyone just assumes she's going to go on forever.
	you It's just genuinely like, oh my god, she's not immortal.
	No.
	From our enemies, yeah.
	But just from the Allies as well.
	Like, you know, it's just this, oh, that was unexpected.
	Like, well, I mean, she was 96.
	Like...
	It's not that surprising that a 96-year-old lady passes away, right?
	But that's the magic, isn't it?
	The magic is this is an eternal institution, and therefore the person occupying the throne must therefore be eternal.
	And she's been around forever.
	Like, literally no one remembers the time before.
	So I guess you kind of got in that habit of thought, don't you?
	You get that kind of appreciation, obviously, in a more forced way in North Korea.
	But what I find funny is, in North Korea, there is actually a department solely dedicated to extending the dear leader's life.
	They take, for all three of their dictators, they've had volunteers that they bring forth and just experiment on to see if they can extend their lives in any way.
	And, you know, a lot of people die.
	Of course they do.
	And Her Majesty still managed to outlive three of them.
	LAUGHTER When was North Korea established as a country?
	1945.
	Right, and she came to the throne, what, 54, something like that?
	Yeah.
	So, almost as old as North Korea.
	Remarkable.
	But she is older than North Korea.
	Yeah, I know, but...
	Chango says, If I was setting up a new country, it'd be a republic.
	But England isn't a new country.
	It's been identifiable for over a thousand years, and for that entire duration, it's been defined by its monarchies, and the political reforms springing from there.
	You cannot rip that from England and expect it to still be English.
	Well, obviously.
	Now, yeah, like, one thing I find interesting is that...
	Like, you see...
	Republicans...
	They are saying things, but it's just nothing.
	There's no impetus for an English Republic.
	It'd be disgusting.
	I know what you're getting at, and it's weird, because they exist in British politics, as in they're occasionally given airtime, or they have posters up, and whatnot.
	And people like, you know, even Brendan O'Neill, Spiked, he's a Republican.
	Is he?
	I believe so.
	And just, no one even treats it seriously.
	It's sort of like saying the world's flat.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, no, it is.
	And you sort of look at them and go, oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	Well, it's...
	There's a mythic structure to England that requires a monarchy.
	The king is meant to be there.
	It'll never be a republic.
	Thank God.
	Sophie says, Man, I will admit, Queen Elizabeth's death really hit me in an odd way when I heard last night.
	It kind of really hammered in how uncertain the future is and there's no telling where we're going.
	For so long, people have taken for granted that we have traditions and just kind of always assumed that they would be there and there would be people to protect those traditions.
	But that just isn't true.
	Those people have passed on and ones who took their place have no wish to protect anything.
	And without tradition or ideas, how are we supposed to act as nations?
	What will the future look like?
	It's utterly uncertain.
	don't the scandinavians have their own monos they do but they're not the same no they're clearly not the same but then nothing was was it no well there's no reason it should be either the west is leaderless we talk about that a lot but those of no one stand up and say this is who we are and what we're truly proud of we are not ashamed of it i hope that this is just a moment of transition and someone will rise up and we can rekindle that identity as english danish swedish french etc uh that many people will remember we are an old people and
	Our story goes back so long and has been through so many transitions, so hopefully this is the next stop to a good future.
	Rest well, Queen Elizabeth.
	That's nice.
	Bleach Demon says, That's kind, isn't it?
	There is something we mentioned yesterday, which is strange.
	I was speaking to Michael as well about this.
	So when you have an American come over to the UK and they want to visit the Royal stuff and you show them around, it's always good fun.
	And there always has been a lovely bit of magic in actually doing it.
	Even for the fourth time, it's still fun to do.
	And with Her Majesty gone, it's not the same now.
	It will be the same for the American.
	It'll still be an actual monarchy and magic in that sense.
	But...
	The level of feeling and the prestige for you, I don't think is the same.
	Well, I'm currently studying the concept of representation by Hannah Pickett, and she makes a great point in there, which is that the monarch actually shouldn't get involved in partisan politics because they are, in some way, a symbol of the nation itself, right?
	And so the fact that Charles has been involved in partisan politics actually does sully the symbolic nature of him ascending to the office.
	So essentially he has to let all of that go now.
	He wants to even vaguely be a shadow of what his mother was.
	And so that's the sort of thing you're talking about.
	There's a kind of magic in it.
	I mean, for that level of magic to come back, my personal feeling is that he should just...
	Retire the crown.
	Yeah, just give it to William.
	William actually has the correct bearing.
	He looks right, even though he's going bald.
	What's wrong with that?
	Nothing.
	Baron von Warhawk says, the Queen was the physical representation of the English nation.
	While she had no political power, she served a crucial role as the face of the nation.
	It's not that she didn't have political power.
	It's that it would be inappropriate for her to take partisan positions, right?
	As in...
	She's meant to be the outward-facing representative.
	We're supposed to deal with that ourselves.
	This is why everyone should go and check out my video on The Crown, because she does have power, and the powers are strictly defined through custom and everything else.
	But they're not partisan powers.
	National interest powers.
	Yes, exactly.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Therefore the...
	To be fair, unless a political party did actually go full-on insane, she is the one who would step in.
	Sure, sure.
	But, like, she's not saying, you know, tax policy, green levies.
	When I say full-on insane, I don't just mean, like, woke nonsense.
	Like, it has to be at the level of destroying the democracy.
	Yeah.
	But therefore, he says, the reaction to the Queen's passing gives an insight on how these leftist maniacs view England.
	It doesn't matter if she was just a figurehead who did nothing but drink tea and shake hands.
	They hate her, they hate England, they hate you.
	That's totally true.
	They hate the love we have of it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they are people who are yearning for a social contract society, which is remarkable, because social contract societies are just awful, in my opinion.
	I mean, look, it's just, you know, women get raped on bus and everyone's like, well, not my problem.
	Sorry, that's not acceptable.
	you know that's just not on you know i don't know if i sent you the talk um king charles did actually give a good talk a little while back about architecture oh yeah and he mentions in there he's comparing traditionalism to modernism and he's saying the traditionists aren't looking to go back to the past they're not even saying there's a dividing line between the past and the present and the thing they're looking for is the sacred which modernism does not embody in the slightest and rejects so he's based on architecture Yes.
	It would be lovely for him to extend that to all aspects of life.
	But it's that point you're making, which is the sacred doesn't really exist in a contract society.
	No, no, it doesn't need to.
	It's a contract.
	Yeah.
	There's nothing sacred about it whatsoever.
	And that's not to its benefit.
	Simplicius Simplicimus says, The end of a golden era, perhaps.
	Certainly one of liberal decline.
	Perhaps sad this event will force people to look back and see what we have lost in an attempt to reverse it.
	Well, maybe, but I don't know.
	Obviously this is entirely new territory, so no one knows what's coming next.
	We did have a thought yesterday, when we were walking together, the fact that she's gone.
	When she was there, you can always argue, well, this is the way it's always been.
	You know, it still feels like a continuation, and as I said, like, psychically, I genuinely believe that the people here have this connection with the Empire, and it's always been like this.
	Now that that's gone, I mean, we really are in modern Britain.
	Yes.
	And have to contend with that reality.
	There is no more fairy tales of, I know, but things will get better because they used to be like this, and it's always been like this way, and things have changed, but, you know, we...
	No, we are what we are.
	Maybe we'll force people to accept actually this country's shit and it's gone to hell and it needs to be fixed.
	And you all remember when it was better.
	Maybe.
	George says, Royal ER's in the chat for the Queen.
	It's weird to call Charles King.
	Living through this change sure feels different to reading it in a history book.
	Hopefully Elizabeth's less-than-stellar family won't shame her legacy too much.
	Well, that's why everyone's like, oh, just put William in charge, mate.
	He's alright.
	He hasn't disgraced the family yet.
	Charles already has, you know, so...
	General Hyping says, God rest her majesty, but there's something weirdly dystopian about all the electronic advertising switching to a display, single image and message across an entire nation.
	Yes, but it actually doesn't feel too strange because it's like, okay, it's tradition incorporating the technology.
	Because in previous eras, it would have been someone standing on the street corner yelling it.
	You know?
	I think...
	I might be wrong, but I imagine that he's saying that it's the dystopian effort.
	I know what he's saying, yeah.
	But, I mean, it's sort of like the announcement that we've gone to war.
	Like, a serious war.
	Like, this country has gone to war with Germany in 1939.
	It's like, okay, it's gonna be everywhere.
	Because people need to know.
	Yeah.
	Lord Nerevar says, I'm so genuinely impressed with the political leaders of this country today.
	I'm not.
	I'm not.
	You guys probably aren't aware because they ended about 10 minutes ago.
	But in Parliament, they all genuinely pay proper tribute to Her Majesty and provided heartwarming anecdotes of their experiences with her.
	However, contemptible, most of them may be under normal circumstances.
	They really showed their humanity today.
	Yeah, you can imagine the Nicola Sturgeons.
	Oh, God, I've got to say something nice.
	This must be really actually quite hard for them, though.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because as I mentioned in the video, when you're a minister, especially, but when you're an MP as well, You can get to the highest office, being the PM, but you still owe a duty to the Queen, and you're not getting to that office.
	It's not going to happen.
	And there's this understanding, because of the weekly meetings the PM has to do with the monarch, that you are there serving for them, and it's sort of like your boss or mentor or someone has died.
	I mean, everyone sort of feels like a child again, I imagine.
	Like, oh crap.
	We're sort of a bit rudderless now.
	Yeah.
	Apparently BBC have cancelled last night of the proms out of respect to the Queen.
	Any old excuses?
	Maybe, yeah.
	I mean, I actually don't think the Queen would have wanted this.
	No, she would have wanted that to go ahead.
	So, yeah.
	Not thrilled, the canceling things.
	I was impressed by the SMP not being the SMP. Oh yeah, I expected them to.
	But I mean, like...
	Because we talked about this yesterday.
	If you want to nuke your political party.
	Exactly.
	I looked it up, right?
	And so, like, the Scottish Parliament has about a 55% voting turnout.
	And out of that, about half of it is for the SNP. So three quarters of Scotland don't vote for the SNP. And so if they've been like, yeah, screw the Queen or whatever, that could have really gone badly for them.
	So they're probably like, look, just don't say anything, don't say anything, don't say anything, or we'll kill you.
	Because it will be bad.
	Jack says, God save the Queen from us in Australia.
	Hopefully this doesn't kick off a referendum for becoming a republic like our new PM wanted when he got elected.
	Yeah, but that's the thing.
	I'm not hearing any...
	It doesn't feel there's any traction for that at the moment.
	Maybe in six months' time.
	But, like, at the moment, it's just not appropriate.
	Britney says, She will.
	She was a genuinely historic person.
	Britain's longest reigning monarch will always be probably her.
	So, yeah, undoubtedly.
	Severian says, To be honest, it is disappointing that in my workplace I am the only one who's dressed in black and I am an immigrant.
	God bless the Queen and hope for the UK and recapturing its soul.
	Hammurabi says, So let me get this straight.
	Her Majesty is one of the most popular global figures who sat on the throne longer than any other Brit and whose death brought condolences even from enemies of the state.
	That's a good point.
	Yeah, I imagine Kim Jong-un is actually going to send us a message as well.
	And the lefty's plan is to slander this great woman.
	It's not the best move that they've made.
	Dr.
	Shola being like, my rival monarch.
	How dare she?
	You made us stop doing the trade.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, that is a good point from Hammurabi.
	So look, even Britain's enemies are like, we're really sorry about that.
	So yeah, probably...
	Pompey got beheaded.
	Yeah, in some ways.
	But like, you know, when I was watching the Navarro media stream, you could see Ash Sarko was just like...
	Keep it respectful because we don't want the backlash.
	Henry says, a way to help explain the impact of the death of the Queen has to those who don't understand is to look at all the things that will have to change.
	Money and stamps bear her face.
	Britain's travel thanks to passports issued in her name.
	The national anthem is God Save the Queen.
	Postboxes bear her mark.
	Every office of government is Her Majesty's.
	And even some of the most popular brands in the UK bore her coat of arms.
	As they were by royal appointment.
	All of this will slowly transition to the king.
	Short of the flag itself, pretty much every symbol of Britain and Britishness will have to change.
	That's a great point.
	Yeah, as I was mentioning yesterday, I mean, you go to pretty much any house in this country, usually you will find they will have some Queen Elizabeth mug, like just from one of the Jubilees or something.
	Yeah, probably.
	You go to a charity shop, you'll find loads of them.
	It's just ubiquitous.
	Yeah, I mean, that is a great point.
	Like, you know, just things that you don't think about, like the post office and the money and stuff like this.
	All of that's going to change.
	There's also some institutions I've been in.
	I always kind of wanted one for the office, where you just have the picture of her from a coronation, just on the wall.
	Oh, yeah.
	Right, in every government building.
	It's just normal.
	Yeah.
	John Locke Matters says, I'm an American, but my family fought against Parliament and the crown for the American independence, but I'm of English blood.
	England is still my mother country and ancestry.
	The English is still my kin.
	I'm heartbroken and sad to see Her Majesty has passed away.
	The Septidile has returned a jewel unto heaven.
	Generico says, whatever else is happening, thank you to you two gentlemen today.
	It was hard for all of us to lose the icon that was Her Majesty.
	Thank you for finding the courage and purpose to perform this broadcast.
	You help us grieve and we grieve with you.
	Vale, Queen Elizabeth II Regina, God save the king.
	I mean, yeah, basically agree.
	X, Y, and Z says that she wore a mask and sat alone for Philip's funeral.
	Showed that she thought she was above us on the social status scale.
	Showed that she thought she was above us on the social status scale she suffers with us.
	I think you mean she didn't.
	Yeah, I think the wording's just wrong there.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's just awful, isn't it?
	Like, she's alone at a funeral.
	But it's...
	Yeah, I mean, there's a reason I showed that, and he's hit on it, which is her sense of duty is not found in the other members of the family.
	It just isn't.
	Her sense of that is unbelievable.
	And when it was the rule that you had to put up with this BS, I have no doubt that all of them knew it was BS at the highest level, and not least because there are endless photos of them at conferences with politicians, where the politicians take them off and then, well, they do.
	And they still had to do it because they knew, well, that's our job.
	Anyway, there's a nice message from Casey.
	The bad news is that Twitter exists, but the good news is that Callum looks handsome in black.
	Kind?
	Gotta keep wearing black shirts, then.
	Brandon says, you shouldn't even waste your breath giving these leftist takes on the passing of the Queen.
	We already know what they're saying.
	It's awful.
	We don't need to sound the atmosphere anymore.
	Yeah, but I did want to highlight how all they can do is post their L's.
	I also think it's worthwhile, number one, to remind everyone of just how awful they are.
	Yeah.
	And number two, as I kept trying to hint on, the other day with Leo, we did a story where the ADL have apologized and deleted all the critical race theory stuff from all their works.
	Did they?
	Yeah.
	I didn't even hear about it.
	They like panicked.
	Fox News just exposed it was in there.
	And the ADL was like, oh, you will get rid of it.
	Sorry, sorry.
	Great.
	When does that happen?
	And it's with this.
	I mean, when does it happen when people like Dr.
	Scholar and their nonsense is just immediately rejected?
	The universities denounce them and say, we have nothing to do with this, please don't.
	Like, leave us alone.
	And that kind of right-wing power is something we need to study and use more.
	Because I'm so sick of every other day of the year being a place of left-wing power.
	That is true.
	I think we're out of time there as well.
	Yes, we are.
	So, if you want more from us, thoseears.com, of course.
	Otherwise, there'll be stuff going up over the weekend.
	Please do check out.
	Check out the things we mentioned.
	My speech is going up at 3.30 today.
	As well?
	From the event, which got very good reviews, I thought.
	People received it quite well.
	Actually, sort of perfect timing to think about how we can...
	It kind of is, actually, yeah.
	I mean, I didn't think this was going to be, you know, obviously it was given before anyone knew any of this.
	Otherwise, we will be back to regular programming on Monday, 1 o'clock.
