I hope it’s not true with everything that’s going on with Prince Andrew. Anyone else heard this?

I am a Council Clerk and I have had no notification that operation London bridge is in process as yet.
We are first tier local government and no notifications as yet.

I don't see why Republicans can't be saddened when the queen dies, she's been around for over 90 years aleady, and is all over our money and stamps!

This WhatsApp chat seems to be the source. A hoax I’m guessing.

I am a barista for MI5 and I have had no notification that London Bridge is go. We have special latte stencils and need to draw sad smileys after people’s names (or what they say their names are) on the day so would be informed.

It will be so awful when she dies Sad

Just devastating. She is the background to our lives.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 01/12/2019 22:48

What the fuck?
I'm an arch-republican!!

I, too. There's nothing at all wrong with feeling diminshed at the idea of the death of another human being. I'd feel the same about David Attenborough, who is the same age (and IMO, a national treasure).

Re. the Windsor family I doubt I shall feel personally affected, but I could never, ever take pleasure in the news of someone else's death; no, not even Margaret Thatcher. And whatever sentimentality people are bound to gush about it being the end of an era and the country never being the same again, there is little doubt that within a few days or weeks, everything will carry on precisely the way it always has.

Or perhaps there might even be a serious conversation about the future of the UK constitution. It would be one that is long overdue.

If she's faked it I imagine it's to stop the broadcast of VR/VG interview tomorrow re Randy Andy!

chomalungma · 01/12/2019 22:49

Maybe it's a dead cat by Cummings to distract from Johnson?

Confused Not mine. I will be sad but move on quickly.

PickAChew · 01/12/2019 22:50

Nah. She has no intention of dying. Ever.

stucknoue · 01/12/2019 22:50

No, I'm on a priority list because of where I work to be informed ahead of the public ... and no I haven't had an email (not sure they'll keep it secret in this days of twitter)

waterjungle · 01/12/2019 22:50

I hate to point it out but take a look at the profile pic on that What's App message. Now I'm not saying that news can't come from someone who has a knob as his profile pic but......well his profile pic is a knob, let's just leave that there.

TooleyVanDooley · 01/12/2019 22:50

It’s obviously an attempt to spread his dick all over the internet. One that’s been fairly successful. Why are people believing this?

kisdenhus · 01/12/2019 22:51

My ex husband's sister's son's stepbrother's mum's brother's cat is the bog cleaner at the palace and he's saying that it's true and she died on the loo.

Wheresthebeach · 01/12/2019 22:51

A whatsapp group message talking about how many pairs of socks to pack?

Must be a windup.

TwiddleMuff · 01/12/2019 22:53

Why would they all need two weeks worth of socks and pants? What do they know that we don't?

SheOfManyNames · 01/12/2019 22:54

But after the Queen, we get Charles, no?

Sssneks · 01/12/2019 22:54

I really hope it's not true.

Some of the jokes about it on twitter are awful, just really horrible.

PinkBalloon123 · 01/12/2019 22:54

I read about the London Bridge operation a while back, I'm pretty sure it would be announced very quickly as they know it will be leaked.

TrixieFranklin · 01/12/2019 22:54

False alarm guys, my mates dads friend works at pizza express in Woking and she was just in there with her son!

Bluerussian · 01/12/2019 22:55

Are there no washing machines available?
