New Topic Needed for all things related to the Queens deaths

[LollingAround]

I dont know if there is a royal topic but could we have a new topic for all the threads that are going to be started about the death of the Queen. Otherwise they will be all over the place.

Thank you

There's a royal topic. I've just hidden ten from active and kept the one I'm on. Will hide this one next 😂

Don't be ridiculous 😂

For a start, no one is going to post in the right place - they never do!

I think we may just have to endure the saturation for a bit, OP. It is quite big news.

Yeah, I think I'll have to do the same. I was just hoping I could hide the whole topic. Might have to avoid all the news for a while. I can't stand the simpering and hushed tones

Have a break from MN for a bit, it's going to be weird around here.

I think at the moment its appropriate for them to be posted in general topics. Its a huge historic event. You might just need to avoid SM in general for a while

Oh please. Any time there is any big news story, we get threads like this.

Just do something else if you don't want to read these threads. The chat about it will be short lived.

We really don't. She'll only die once.

Try doing something else instead.

I think you'd have to have a break from EVERYTHING to get away from it!

You mean like the "all covid things" one? That worked so well.

I wish! It's going to be relentless.

Totally agree OP, so much faux sympathy. It’s crass.

Oh I wish this would work, then I could mute it. But as a PP said there was a Covid topic and Covid posts were still everywhere.

It's a historical moment no matter your views on the monarchy, there's going to be no other topic for a while. I'd get into an audiobook or podcast for a bit if you need to.

The grief vultures are out in force OP sobbing and shaking no doubt 🙄

People who didn't give a toss about the queen in life will be desperately trying to outdo others in their mourning, now that she's dead.

Utterly bonkers suggestion

Oh I thought you wanted them altogether so you didn't miss anything 😂ignore my first post

You'll also have the people that genuinely don't give a toss having a competition as to how much they don't.
But then there is a middle ground of people who just think it's a bit sad but that's it.

Queen was never the same after Freddie Mercury though

How vapid do you have to be not to acknowledge this is a huge news story and just scroll past or hide the threads that don't interest you.

Do the thread police have sirens fitted?

We do need one.

This will be the main topic of conversation till Crimbo

I read on operation London Bridge that there will be a social media blackout, not sure when though
