    Just seen the BBC hanging around at Aberdeen airport spying on who was going to turn up 0n the Charted royal flight .

    Seems Harry and Megan didn’t (yet )? so guess there will the usual speculation about what will they do .

    Not that bad - we won 2-0.

    Ironic that Truss who spoke publicly about abolishing the monarchy, has within 48 hours of becoming PM got the nation in a tizzy that the Queen is on her death bed.

    Yes, the desperate BBC arse-covering. The every changing presenters, each one with a darker suit and tie then the previous one until a Black Hole emerges and opines that it's very unusual for an official statement on the monarch's health to be released, so it must be very grave. Has this set a precedent Nick? Gollum, imaginary handwashing with impunity, while stating how potentially serious this could well be. Thus it continues until the lot in Singapore take over. Rinse. Then repeat.

    Bargain Hunt got interrupted half way through. The Reds had just finished off their purchases with a damaged Edwardian mantel clock when the picture segued into a the presenter from the BBC Newsroom. I though she must have popped her clogs for such a blatant interruption but no it was the start of the cycle of repetition. Initial presenter in a light outfit, replaced by Ben Brown in a dark grey suit and blue tie to then be replaced by Huw Edwards in an almost black suit and similarly coloured tie and so on.

    Dark rumours that there will be an official announcement later today, once all the family gathered at the Scottish Datscha

    They’ll announce it at 6 is my bet
    All MPs have apparently been informed of her death. Presenters for the 6 o’clock news have changed into black suits. If you believe the internet

    The remainder of her children only just arrived at Balmoral half an hour ago.

    BBC presenters have been wearing black since lunchtime.

    A BBC presenter announced that she had died on Twitter, before retracting it. The family racing up there. BBC presenters wearing black suits and pulling programmes.

    Unfortunately seems like she's already died. There seems to be a media blackout, I imagine until 6pm, or until all of the Royal Family get there.

    The cricket today has been abandoned today without a ball being bowled today out of respect (the rain was just coincidence).

    This is probably one of the biggest psyops you'll experience in your lifetime. Stay strong.

    The BBC assured me that this news is dominating the headlines all around the world.

    But confusingly, when I spoke to Cubans today, they had absolutely no idea she was even ill!

    Worse, when I did tell them the sad news, they showed a lack of interest, let alone proper worry and grief, that can only be described as shockingly communistic.

    So I should believe it? Because you're on the internet, I shouldn't believe what you say.

    I don't know what or who to believe anymore so will retire my shirt and retreat to my tinfoil tent.

    With the weather and likely news to come might as well call a draw now .

    Funny thing is they played up North.

    Well, it's a fact that it wasn't announced at 6pm.

    Or... is it?

    I have just had a tip off from a reliable source (my wife's hairdresser) that Her Majesty passed away away earlier this afternoon and they're waiting for Harry to put in an appearance before announcing
