BFTD Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Been busy for the past couple of days, haven't seen/heard any TV/radio, and my experience of Facebook/Twitter comes almost exclusively from stuff posted on P&B, so I'm fairly clueless about the shitshow that must be happening on Normal Island right now. I'm curious though - where does this stand on the DIana scale of utterly hysterical lunacy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I went to work on the QE2 in 1990, it coincided with the 150th Anniversary of Cunard. The Royals came onboard in Southampton for a meal and had to walk through the casino where I worked to get to the restaurant onboard. We all stood in our uniforms by the gaming tables as they walked by. Ironically the only person that Phil stopped to speak to was a republican from Belfast. The Queen just walked through with the ship’s captain and smiled as she went by. I have never actually spoken to the Queen but I could tell by that smile that she was a warm and caring individual and can’t understand the criticism some people are giving the monarchy on here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Genuinely, where is the centre of gravity here as regards this whole thing? Looking at the bonkers stories on here, the UK is clearly home to plenty of deranged individuals. However it's also home to over 60 million people, so there's still room for sanity to exist. Media coverage would again beg us to believe the 'national mood' is one of overpowering devastation. Virtually all of it, Scottish stuff included bears no real relation to anything I'm seeing for real though. At work today, in a building containing over 600 people, but for one person clad bafflingly in black, it was a totally normal day. I don't personally know anyone who is particularly moved or distressed at all really, which leaves me wondering where the truth of how people feel, actually sits. Is it radically different in England? Is the narrative the media portray, simply one they wish to shape, or is there a substantial reality they're simply reflecting? Is social media terrorising companies, organisations and people into projecting insincere emotion? I remember when Diana died, honestly feeling that the UK was not the same place I'd previously understood it to be? This time, I don't feel as if I've even got any sense of an understanding, to misjudge or otherwise. Basically, the thing I'm struggling to ask is: what's actually going on here, in terms of UK and Scottish feeling regarding such matters? Obviously, there's a diversity of outlooks, but where would you pitch the middle of it? I haven't a clue. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
