****ing hell fair play. Tell us how you really feel Trev

Just reading the responses to the tweet now.
Loads of other footy players and celebs slamming him.
Career suicide that is :hehe:
Guessing he's been on the beer all afternoon. If not then he's just a right pr!ck.

Talksport trying to get hold of him and he's gone into hiding :hehe:

I don't live for the monarchy, but neither do I object to it. It gives Britain a distinct flavour in the community of nations, and I do enjoy the pageantry and the tradition. But the value of all this depends much on the quality of the monarch, and Elizabeth II stood high in this regard.

RIP.

Well said and RIP Ma'am

I can only guess the responses that will follow, I made a post asked about what people were doing for the Jubilee and the responce wasnt joyful, I can only guess the haters are in full flow

Stop stirring it up Matt. You always do this, it's like you want people to react.

Yeah that sounds about right. I think Diana did all she could to make him appreciate that

Yeah you do, it’s always post something then “Gawd only knows how people will react on here, I SHUDDER to think”

So tedious and predictable by now

“Racism was outlawed in England in the 60’s yet it’s been allowed to thrive so why should black and brown mourn”

This seems to be enough for all those looking or conditioned to look for "identity" or leadership when it's not really anything of the sort. But there we are.

The presence of "royalty" is, amongst other things, a mainstay of inequality and subordination. It's a sad day, and will be a sad week, mostly because it's all a symbol of how happy some are to accept that.

Good post.

Shocking. Doesn’t Trev understand that this should be a carnival of forelock tugging, deference and faux grief! No place for comment on the role of the monarchy or the way the country changed or didn’t under the last hereditary head of state.

The only over the top thing is the reaction of the paupers of the United Kingdom who are crying and saying that the Queen “loved them” and they “loved her”. Ridiculous tosh, cost of living crisis forgotten because ridiculously rich women dies. ****ing mental this country.

All the main TV channels , radio , jammed up with royal family experts and people stunned , shocked and devastated ?

She was 96 and they never met her yet they are consumed by sadness ?

These outpourings of public grief are hard work . Can't really avoid it really .

---

Sickening mate, my social media has been deactivated. The British public in general are weak, easily ruled over sheep. Some of the comments from people, they seem more upset a rich old woman has died than they do when a member of their own family dies. Lunatics the lot of them

Plenty of people on Twitter who get so wound up about cancel culture calling for him to be cancelled.

Completely agree

As a Welshman with an Irish surname I'm struggling to give a toss about the Queen of England dying. :hehe:

Although I do find it funny that after meeting Boris Johnson and Liz Truss in close succession she thought "F** this" and peaced out.

So painfully predictable that would happen too.

You only have to look on here for the person who loves Grenfel threads and gets up in a snowflake heap any time something offends him.

What these people mean is they should be able to say whatever they like.

Some cnut on BBC News said the energy bills price crisis is “of course insignificant now given the gravity of the situation”
How dare I worry about losing my job when a 96 year old lady has died of old age.

You lucky people have a new prince.

No they haven't. You are very selective, we've had a right wing loon on here recently openly saying that different races shouldn't mix, both sexually and culturally. You said nothing .

I tuned into Talksport yesterday morning for a few minutes. Ex footballer Mario Melchiot apparently was getting his 1st name wrong. To sum up it ended with Sinclair saying " He'll have to come into the studio and we'll have a frank together'. The presenter was embarrassed but Sinclair kept giggling like a child in the background. They then went to the racing and the bloke their said" let's hope we can have some semblence of decency here...".

He's a moron.

Idiot. I listen to talk sport quite a bit and his biased and uneducated comments on there are boring. He can never back up his arguments with Simon Jordan and pretty much acts like an infant. Add this stupid comment now and the fact he has multiple drink drive convictions time for them to give him the boot.

I'm not supporting what he said, but shouldn't he be free to say exactly what he likes? That's what so called libertarians are always telling us.

His account has virtually been deleted.
What shocks me is he did nothing last night to retract his statement or delete it.
I reckon he's had a skin-full, posted that, and then passed out.
Probably woke up early hours this morning thinking "FUUUUUCCKKK!"
:hehe:

Absolutely.
I think this is obviously more about the timing. Not his smartest social media post. :hehe:

He's been convicted of drink driving twice - the 1st time he knocked down a woman. The 2nd time he urinated in the police car when he was arrested and was also convicted of racial abuse calling the policeman a 'white c*nt'.

I know, that's what makes it very ironic and far worse for him.
Firstly he's shouting about racism, which he himself had been arrested for previously, and then he's basically suggesting that the queen is somehow implicated or responsible for what he perceives as an entire nations racism.
We'll never know whether the queen was racist or not, but we do know that she was never arrested for racism and she probably had no input or involvement with anything much in her entire 70 year tenure as queen.
He's just made himself look a right bellend really.

He's probably just repeating rubbish he's read on Twitter from activists. As is the way on here from a few.
