Fish and chip owner celebrating the Queens death in Scotland

[Chickpea17]

Can't believe someone be so cruel to do this.
Why would you celebrate the death of the Queen.

She’s an absolute disgrace and has not only tarnished her name but she’ll also get no business and probably be forced to close.

I do remember a hotel who said they won’t take anyone who is vaccinated against covid and fed into the conspiracy theories and it was a ploy to get loads of customers who felt the same way.

I wonder if this was her plan and it backfired!

She seems like she's probably mentally unwell. Obviously it was an unpleasant thing to do but no one should have damaged her property.

Because she is extremely stupid, it seems. Finished off her own business and living in one move. A small community too, where everyone has long memories. Foolish.

Well I just had 🐟 and 🍟 for dinner thanks to this thread 😂

Albeit from another chippy

I saw this story and concluded that either
A) she was mentally unwell or more likely
B) she wanted attention by making a controversial statement.

It reminded me of the story of when Liz Truss was a student LibDem leader and how she stood at a party conference with a motion to abolish the monarchy. Paddy Ashdown was livid and tried to persuade her to withdraw the motion fearing (correctly) that all the newspapers would report is her controversial motion (which failed) and not his actual policies which would increase their votes.

Anyway what I found interesting was that in the (failed) talks to persuade Liz to withdraw the motion it transpired that she wasn't exactly that committed to abolishing the monarchy anyway but saw making a highly controversial motion as an opportunity of raising her profile from an unknown. This worked and her name was splashed across the papers.

Probably mentally ill. Either that or a narcissist/attention-seeker.

Thankfully Truss’ past spares us from a conservative pissing match with Labour over who loved the queen more. Starmer had also expressed anti-royal views in his youth, but with her background a war of words would be untenable.

I had a delightful, organic, self-catering, yurt summer break on the Muir of Ord last June, and had the pleasure of sharing a super (I believe the Scots call it sup-per) of battered -can you believe it?- cod and sliced fried potatoes; one of their five a day for most children in the central belt of Scotland I understand, locally known as ch-i-p-s.

The diminutive fierce proprietar Jaki Pickett, was immensely charming, I think. (As we really couldn't understand her accent, which mainly sounded like people dropping cutlery on anvils) but a local explained she was saying she believed most people in positions of power are in fact lizards and she abhorred the institution of Monarchy!

Great fun! We all laughed riotously! All this entertainment and a delightful, ethically defrosted meal for four for only £11 each!

We wished her the best of Royal luck, and tipped her £2, entreating here to make it last, spend it on a local tenement, and not shortbread or heroin.

Jaki's Fish may have lost the support of the Federation of Fish Fryers, but the hake and picked eggs are to die for...get along now before the arsonists do.

:)

PS I overheard a little man in a kilt saying Scotland wanted independence.

You couldn't make it up - It sounds like a sketch by Billy Connoly!

I explained to the gentleman in the queue behind that Scots are a subject people so that just isn't possible. Face like thunder... :(

It's in bad taste before the funeral but people can say what they like if they are not inciting harm - and you can't really incite harm on someone who's already died.

As an English person living in Scotland, I'm not totally surprised, and it really does not bother me in anyway. I know lots of people there that have little interest or respect for the monarchy, and that's OK. Personally, I'd consider it not a nice thing to do.

It's the DM, so I'd not click the link!

She looks to be a massive twat. The best way to have dealt with it though was to just stop buying from her.

If she couldn't foresee that this could have a negative effect on her business then she can't be particularly bright.

They all sound as bad as each other.

There's a time and a plaice for that sort of thing.

This is a hake crime, pure and simple.

I'd lock here up and throw away the bree!

Anymore fish related puns? Here's one ...

Salmon is obviously wrong with Jaki Pickett, she's as pickled as one of her own gherkins.

She was an absolute idiot! And very wrong.

But the people threatening her and vandalising her property are worse!

I think the owner was being a prick too. BUT...

We should all be very concerned at how little it takes for members of the public to become self-appointed, violent enforcers of an authority figure.

Well she is obviously unhinged with her conspiracy theories and she has hooligans for neighbours. So I guess she is no longer doing business there 😂
