People are having appointments and surgeries cancelled because they were scheduled on the 19th.

Places where people are staying are closing for the 19th and they've been straight-up told they won't have access to their belongings.

People being arrested for saying negative things about the Queen.

Like wut

Fuck em, its their choice to glorify a racist colonizer. We shit on china for all of their human rights violations, the Queens legacy is filled with human rights violations. We absolutely should not be glorifying this person.

They're treating royalty like gods pretty much. She could drive without a license, didn't need a passport, they don't have to pay inheritance tax, etc.

I mean yes it's happening in general, but they're being cancelled on the 19th for a very specific reason.

Shelters and food banks are being closed.

Its fucking disgraceful and actively makes me want to abolish the monarchy more than my general disdain and apathy I had before for them.

The police are supposedly being told not to do this and people are allowed to protest. But when have police ever cared for laws?

How dare the poor have another day off to mourn the passing of the monarch!

Only the rich management should be able to have days off, the poor should be working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so I can have my latte on holiday!

In fairness - and not that it isn't still a bit mental - that cycle rack is in the middle of the area set aside for people to leave flowers, which is why it's been closed. There's not a blanket ban on parking your bike, haha.

Center Parcs straight up shutting for the day/night whether you're halfway through a stay or not is mental, though, and it should be a crime to pretend that Prince Andrew isn't an absolute nonce rather than pointing out that he is.

Wait, surgeries are being canceled because the queen died? What the fuck? So at least a few people will probably die because of a weird forced mourning period.

That is the plan, yes.

It was either all her staff or random members of the public.

No, certain surgeries don't happen on Bank Holidays, this is standard procedure and has occurred in the NHS for many years. The Hospitals are still open, and emergency wards are operating as usual.

The Center Parcs thing is the only thing unusual, as they are usually open on Bank Holidays.

I mean I'm pretty sure beekeepers "talk" to the bees all the time.

Maybe, I managed a Petco for 7 years and I never talked to the fish or the mice. I did talk to some of the birds, but a few talked back, that's different though.

I kinda thought all a beekeeper hears is BZZZZZ real loud.
