As granny, she also lacked the personal touch

Point me to a hole in the ground in all of Britain where they mined some of the heavier diamonds that remain firmly glued to that crown, and I will show you to a leprechaun.

We’ve in the last few days, observed a section of the media make generalizations about how their nations felt after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Their elected officials also took time off to be sad about her demise, yet not a lot of glowing tributes or stories of adoration are being told about this woman who was such a great queen.

Sycophants of the monarchy are predictably not allowing people to feel how they want to feel, they’ve been attempting to tell others how to feel.

Their attempts to enforce civility and respectability politics in the face of people who’ve suffered the atrocities of British colonial rule are obviously ridiculous.

Their media attempted the impossible too; separating the person Elizabeth from the Crown.
