Will you be clapping for the Queen?

[Gingerkittykat]

This clapping has got out of hand now, why on earth should we clap for the Queen?

I do respect her and thought her two broadcasts were spot on but am going to save my clapping for key workers.

No. I'll be at work. But it would be no anyway.

Freddie - it's really nice you want to show your appreciation. I'm just an old grump !!! And an old grump who would rather people showed their appreciation in a way that actually helped on the ground, rather than keeping my kids up which is only adding to my problems..

No won’t bother everyone has birthdays why should we sing to her,

I’d be a grump if it woke my children up. Sorry.

Daft idea, what's the point of singing Happy Birthday from a doorstep? I mean, no ones got a sink, soap and towel there have they?

Oh I think that's nice! Anything that unites us a country lifts morale in this awful times!

I respect her but no. I didn't even clap for the NHS. My support is via my exorbitant tax money and not wasting their time.

@ErrolTheDragon very good

Nah, harmless enough but she would probably find it a bit embarrassing.

Certainly not.

Ah, thanks Freddie! You sound lovely! (unlike me, who actually is a grump!!)

Will I fuck, nothing against her, but I wouldn't bow/ curtsey , neither.

9am? No way, much too early

Whoops, I got the clapping wrong when it was meant to be singing.

Stacey, maybe we can have a MN singalong for your birthday!

No, why? What has she done to deserve that gratitude?

Also my birthday on Tuesday . I'm going to be 46 - feel free to sing Happy Birthday to me if you prefer 😉

I saw a message suggesting we chap for Captain Tom Moore on his birthday. It's all getting a bit much.

Nope

No. This is Nazi crap

Nope.

I did quite like the Royals and thought it was fine for us to pay them taxes as they bought tourism into the country. Then I found out the Queen is the worlds biggest landowner with 6.6 billion acres.
Maybe she could sell off some of those acres, to fund the NHS, I might sing if she did that.

@INeverSaidImNice

What makes you think it is "exorbitant"?

Lol of course not.

Oh the fuck I will 🤣🤣🤣

Anyway, I have an enormous backlog of brave neighbourhood squirrels I need to clap for. Then all the hungry downtown pigeons. So brave. Such an inspiration in these uncertain times. 😥

People have lost their minds. Everything on the news is overly sentimental bollocks. I find it depressing and am going to have to stop watching, which is ridiculous, the news should factual and not all this social media soppiness.

Slightly off topic, but if you’re referring to the Crown Estate, this is only under the Queen’s nominal control, much like the Government. She has private assets (such as Sandringham etc.) outside of the Crown Estate, and these are significant by any normal standard,
but she could no more sell off the Crown Estate than appoint whoever she desired as PM.
