Utter madness. IQ of the nation.

It was lovely to see Rangers giving the finger to UAFA by singing the national anthem.

There is so much more to this than you can possibly imagine.....

Perhaps you could enlighten us volver ?

Oh dear, I may call on Casdon for help with this one. Apologies in advance if I offend anyone.

Many Rangers supporters are well known as fanatical supporters of the Union and anything to do with it. There is a memorable video of a Rangers supporter after the Independence referendum singing "you can shove your independence up your Ar**". Singing the National Anthem isn't just a sign of loyalty, its an obsession.

There is also a religious divide historically with the Celtic supports who were traditionally Irish.

I'm not saying any more, it's a minefield.

Thank you GG13.

I don't agree with the banners being shown. I don't agree with your assessment of the fans' IQs.

It was in Poland and BT Sports decided it was a good thing to show on TV.

The Rangers fans last night decided to ignore UEFA rules and sing the UK national anthem in defiance of what they had been told was acceptable. Any complaints about them? (Anyway they lost 3-0 I believe)

Whilst Singing the National Anthem was not to the UEFA rules, it is not insulting the Crown/Monarchy.

I will be driving past the end of the road to Sandringham today- on my way to a funeral- but won’t be stopping. I can’t bear to see all those flowers wrapped up in plastic. Why don’t people take the wrapping home with them?
I have visited our church and left my message of condolence in the Lady Chapel. No one there but me. There is a tribute of Rosemary, Sage and lavender and a single rose next to The photograph of HM.
Each to their own

I have just seen this on Twitter

Where? Who? In what context? What was done about it?

Just posting a picture doesn't tell us much.

I know what it is, the Celtic match last night. Ties in with your comment about Rangers volver, I understood what you meant.

It was at the Celtic home game last night volver. I have been trying to find out the consequences with no avail. I am now going out for the rest of the day.

The banner is referring to the man who broke into the palace and accessed the late Queens bedroom.

The other banners F**k The Crown, along with disgusting songs, insults and jibes.

From what I understand (through football fans in our family) Celtic supporters have a history of this.

As the OP was about madness and IQ, in my opinion these fans have made me mad and their IQ is questionable.

It tells me nothing.

Date?

Location?

Any arrests made?

Could it be that the IQ of the nation is highest among those who understand that different things are important to different people, whether we think them weird or not.

Indeed.

It tells us enough.

Re the bank holiday. I think it's only fair to give those working a chance to watch the funeral if they want to.

It has massively inconvenienced me though (annoying) - but really, it's rare a king/queen dies and as we currently live in a monarchy it seems obvious and correct that we would have one.

I think the reason it's annoying is the fact that there was so little notice... If we were to have the bank holiday in 6 months time, hardly anyone would have batted an eyelid!

How irritating of the Queen to have died without 6 months notice!

I should have added that I do realise that London is probably too far for the sick and infirm to travel - but the next village is also too far for many.

“I’m with you on this. I don’t care if people want to camp out to file past the coffin, but the idea of the country shutting up shop for the day seems rather excessive to me. I wish just one member of the royal family had suggested that - instead of buying bunches of flowers to leave in a park - people gave the money to a homeless charity or a food bank.” Goldbeater

Just to let you know that Asda will be opening after 5pm on Monday should you run out of something and I credit most folks to have enough nous to donate to charity without Royal direction?

I had two phone calls yesterday. One from Sarajevo and the other from South Africa. Both business calls.
When we finished what needed to be said they both wanted to talk about the Queen.

Utter madness. IQ of the nation
...is demonstrated by the idea that we can't travel to London if we want to see her casket.

Hear, hear

Of course you don't have too Billybob, it's a choice isn't it and this is the choice that many people have made.

My thoughts exactly Mollygo

We are all different, I try not to judge others.

We have no idea how many may be doing that anyway Goldbeater.

Could it be that IQ should not be the only factor of judging someones worth

Smileless, you can pay your respects in church you do not have to queue up for hours to do so.

I thnk they need to get a life!I dont care how many of you it offends .Will some of you on NHS lists be happy if/when your op is delayed yet again because of the performance mourning on Monday when it seems we have to close the country down for the day? All for an overprivileged women most didn't know .
