God Save The King

[Josquius]

Yeah as I say despite my views on royalty here, I find it weirdly impressive that the Japanese Emperor is visiting 

It becomes cooler when you think of it as the heir of Amaterasu at the funeral of the heir of Woden.

Two football teams who played the weekend after the Queen died are being investigated and will be "dealt with in the strongest possible terms"

The UK is a totalitarian state.

What do you want? This is a monarchy, by law and custom there are people who born into a superior status. This is how that supposed to look.

Hey man you decided you wanted part of that action. You could have moved to La République Française and enjoyed the benefits of all that liberté, égalité, and fraternité that Duque is always raving about.

Worth noting is that the Swedish Monarch has to be of the Evangelical faith as described in the Augsburg Confession and the Uppsala Synod.

Oh thank God.

Not sure the Sheffield Football Asssociation's jurisdiction reaches as far as Berkshire.

Via Popbitch an enjoyably insane tabloid royal obsession. Hope there's some truth to this

>> Line of recession <<
Mail pattern baldness

In among all the batshit coverage of the new King, the Economist ran a piece this week suggesting we could expect a stable reign from Charles III because "his hair has been parted in the same place since childhood".

It's weird, but the Economist isn't the only publication to be fascinated with Charles's hair. The royal barnet has been a source of endless interest to Daily Mail supremo Paul Dacre too.

As both he and Charles were born on the same day (14th Nov 1948), Dacre has long been obsessed with comparing his own ageing to that of Charles, and would regularly ask employees which of them they thought looked better for their age.

Part of the reason the Mail has followed the balding of Princes William and Harry so closely in recent years, isn't because he cares about the boys' hairlines especially. It's because he's obsessed with Charles's. Dacre believes Charles has had secret work done and is absolutely convinced the King has a weave.

Russia is annoyed they're not invited to the funeral. What a shame:

The Russian foreign ministry said it is "profoundly immoral" that the country was not invited to send a delegate to the Queen's state funeral on Monday.

It said: "We view this British attempt to use a national tragedy that has touched the hearts of millions of people around the world for geopolitical purposes to settle scores with our country during the days of mourning as profoundly immoral.

"This is especially blasphemous to the memory of Elizabeth II, who is known to have served during World War II in the territorial defence ranks of the British Armed Forces fighting the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevich.

"Now the British elites are on their side."

most successful nazi collaborator was Stalin... you know, before the "falling out"

So sad for poor Putin.

Turns out there's also a row with China We've managed to piss off both China hawks and the Chinese state.

China hawks are annoyed because Xi was invited by the government/palace to the funeral at Westminster Abbey. He isn't attending but someone from the Chinese leadership is.

At the same time China is apparently furious because the Chinese delegation is not being allowed into Westminster Hall for the lying in state. This is because it's part of the parliamentary estate, which is run by the Speaker and Lord Speaker who have banned any Chinese state officials from any part of parliament until China lifts its sanctions on MPs and members of the House of Lords.
