Has anyone been to the Lying In State and wished they hadn't bothered?

[Reallybadidea]

Just being nosey really. I'm not the most patient of people and can't imagine queuing for hours for anything. Has anyone been and found it a bit of a letdown once they got to the end (beginning?) of The Queue?

@bootseason

Most of the queue are Remainers.

I thought Remainers were all supposed to be traitors 😀

Oh really @Kendodd

Your use of the word traitor is so wrong. As if a country as sophisticated as the UK would vilify anyone not doing as the government suggested? I mean we're hardly north korea are we? Im off to stand in a long line of people crying over the death of an unelected untouchable multi millionaire ive never met. We couldn't be further from north korea if we tried..

It is pretty far off though. It’s not compulsory. You can stay home eat biscuits and post on mn instead if you like, it’s all good.

I don’t have bad things to say about queuers although im glad this is the last day of mourning.

It’s long enough to make most people think ok that’s done

Absolutely No evidence whatsoever. None.

just a feeling

Considering that the vast vast majority (around 70%?) of the population is vaccinated it would be a bit of a stretch for the average person in the queue not to be

The stats just wouldnt back that up

just a feeling

the most dangerous sort of pre judgement

Nothing superior or inferior yet you in a population where 70%+ are vaccinated you think there will be a high portion of unvaccinated people, in a bunch that you think will be a mostly those on benefits…

Yeah, nothing judgmental or superior in that train of thought at all.

I think the pp knew they were being as such as they posted it’s not PC to say it

Since then it’s been backtracking but there was an idea of who they meant and it wasn’t a good look to be superior

People know exactly what they’re doing when they post like that. They’re either being openly sneery or goady fuckers; or, as is often the case on here, both.

Again

you are assuming that I think being unvaccinated is something that is “inferior” to being vaccinated

And clearly not PC to say it

as sort of proven on this thread 😂

Your judgemental sneery tone toward people who view as beneath you is very, very obvious.

Goodness - that is quite a reading in to my posts!

Why do you think that is?

Do you accept the judgement as you have made isn’t good yet

Ot are you ok with doubling down on being superior and sneery

But you clearly see
being un vaccinated
or
low income
or
in receipt of benefits

as something inferior

not one did I say or even allude to thinking this

Your tone says it all.

Your attempts to twist and be goady are very poor.

You are a judgemental twat. And I don’t care that that will be deleted.

It wasn’t a judgement

it was a comment on what I thought the demographic would lean towards

and a number of you have assumed that I was saying my guess at the composition of the queue means I think they are inferior despite no where saying or alluding to it

it says much more about your views that you assume I was saying they were inferior! 😂

Please dont try to be disingenuous.

You've implied, through no evidence whatsoever, that the average person in the queue is made up of the workless, benefit claiming and unvaccinated person

That paints quite a picture and yet you say you're implying nothing inferior about those people.

What is it about this event that makes you think it attracts unvaccinated unemployed/benefit claiming people, why that demographic?

Ok maybe just quit as you’re not going to convince anyone

It was clear and you knew it already which is why you said not PC in first post

Its pointless now to try and back track

I explained!

it is free

it involves many hours of queuing and that’s not so conducive with work

many studies have indicated strong support for the monarchy amongst those on a below average income

as for my vaccinated point… again, many studies have shown a concentration of those unvaccinated as having a below average income

Of course not PC

Because you mention the work low income or benefits on mumsnet and bleeding heart poster presume you’re making a negative presumption

Again you're trying to weasel out of it, but you said 'its not PC to say it'

What that very clearly implies is that you thought you shouldnt be saying something negative about people in the queue

If its a positive attribute and you were saying this in a way that is just factual, then PC has nothing to do with it does it

And coming to the 'factual' point of it, the comment you made is not born out of the likely facts or statistics that we know. The vast majority of the population is vaccinated therefore its very unlikely that large numbers or the average person in the queue is unvaccinated. The queue also appeared to be made up of a huge cross section of society.

Your feelings and judgement show you up Im afraid. At least own it and take responsibility for what you're inferrring

No you can talk about demographics but if you pre judge and take a superior position then people will ask you to think about what you are saying

Hopefully something will get past the defensiveness

head. Wall. Bang.

I am off to watch the tv coverage

enjoy
