Now I doubt it Def a feather in the cap for the Union north of the border today With all due respect Max, I think you’re letting the media and your own emotions cloud reality. Unionists will rinse and spin this situation for everything they can obviously. Tens of thousands is about right, but for the vast majority that weren’t rubber-necking and went about their lives yesterday as normal (as I witnessed with my own eyes) the queen dying means and changes nothing and they will remain indifferent at best to the monarchy. You’ve only got to look at most of the Scottish football forums to see the resentment at games called off and people being ‘forced to mourn’. Think many South of the border feel the same? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,552 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm an ardent monarchist yet have no time for the current royal family. I'm a unionist but think the sooner we cut Scotland away the better. Strange times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I think your looking thru you leave specks if you think Lizzie passing in Scotland and everything that’s went with that hasn’t strengthened Unionists hand . Sturgeon will be spitting feathers under her breath . Not 99.9% here. I think there would have been some vocal dissent at almost every game.., and that’s enough. I posted the shambles at Tynecastle on Thursday last week, a club widely accepted up here as being second only to the Rangers in their staunch support of the union. If they won’t observe it properly, then the games going ahead would have been an embarrassment. I don’t have ‘leave specs’. It’s possible to be patriotic without believing independence is the right road for Scotland. I’m definitely in the apathetic camp regards the monarchy though. Bit like all religion.., if other people want to indulge and it does me no harm, then I don’t really give a monkeys. My point is only that you shouldn’t get too swept up in the emotion of all this, in a month or so and when the next gas bill lands, things will return to normal and all things ‘the queen’ will be past tense. KC and his sunshine band of paedos and celebrity wannabees will be all that’s left. Bear in mind too, the indy campaign always said they’d keep the British monarch as head of state. Same can’t be said for some of the commonwealth countries…, especially now the queen is dead. And like religion the monarchy will have to adapt quickly to survive. Just my opinion mind, only time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By passing at Balmoral and with her cortage from Balmoral to Edinburgh she’s rejuvenated the Union and imo killed Sturgeons plans of Independence in its tracks . A very clever woman who put her duty to the Union at the forefront till the end imo ? The queen dying and her coffin travelling through parts of Scotland will be unlikely to change any nationalists opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I say The Queen put GB first again even in death . She played a blinder . Might happen that way, might go the other way just as easily. I said it on another thread, Charles has promised to streamline the monarchy, I hope he means it, because you and others might think the queen dying has strengthened the establishment, whilst others have seen the queen as the establishment and with her gone then this could be as good a time as any for change Everything comes to an end and I think you are seriously misreading the opinions of a great many Scots.

big sid 1,126 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 max i doubt very much that the queen died in scotland to give wee nicola a bloody nose, the fact is a lot of people find charles as a bit of a fun figure and now he is king he will not get the adulation that the queen had plus many people find him and camilla hard to stomach after diana's death.
