Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Britain and for that matter the World will not be the same without her.

RIP Queen.

She was a cool old bird.  Long live the Queen.

On a side note.....Somehow I just know Megan will make this about her.

Harry too will try to make this about them. His book should be coming out soon; more smearing of the Royals.

RIP Queen Elizabeth. I do not remember a time without her on the throne of England.

So will it be Charles or will it be William?  :pondering:

AFAIK it will be Chuckie; hopefully, for the UK's sake, his rein will be mercifully short.

Charles is next in the line of succession, unless he abdicates the thrown to his son William, which I see as very doubtful.

Both of them are environmentalist whackadoos, so perhaps it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Things will change for Britain and for that matter the World.

I thought because of his consort he had lost his legal claim...
And don't Lizzie have the final say anyhow?

Not that William is all that, but way way better than Batter Up-Chuck...

RIP, Queen Elizabeth.

So how does this work now?  Is Charles just automatically King now, or does he have to be officially coronated first?
And what kind of duties does the monarch even have nowadays?

Many around the world will sit there being confused about why so many brits are mourning the loss of someone they never met.  But the queen is part of us and we lost that part today. She is the backbone of our nation and the glue that held it together.

She was the grandmother to us all, the light in dark times, this nations icon. 70 years on the throne, 15 PM, recessions, wars, global pandemics she was there through it all.

And with our nation on it's knees, the loss of our light is even more profound and devastating.

He automatically becomes king; however, he does have to go through the coronation ceremony to take the appropriate oaths.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

*SIGH*... So that's that... And a great example for a reason to avoid monarchy.
