    Maybe Charles could organize a Royal special edition. Those that make it to the end remain as special royals. The others get tossed off (insert Kenneth Williams gif here) the civil list.

    Folk getting really vexed about queue jumpers on Twitter and elsewhere, Holly and Phil coming in for a particular savaging for just rocking up to Her Maj’s coffin without the necessary 13 hour self-flagellation.

    But it is a bit odd to read all the anger about privilege from people queuing to pay their respects to possibly the World’s most privileged person. I mean try to form a meaningful sentence out of these words, joined, the, time, when, orderly, Queen, waited, turn, queue, the, an, and, her.

    Apparently they were actually doing some filming for ITV so allowed to jump the queue .

    https://amp.lbc.co.uk/news/phillip-...hby-did-not-jump-queue-to-see-queen-itv-says/

    Quite why they need to show this on Tuesday is a mystery as it’s the end of the mourning period .

    I think this is just a Twitter pile on tbh.

    This Morning issued a statement saying that Schofield and Willoughby were both working. The lanyards they are wearing are their journalist accreditations and the footage of them inside the hall shows that they were taken around the edge of the queue towards the area where the reporters were.

    Edit: I see @wfc4ever beat me to it!

    No problem.

    Trouble is I think ITV let this story go on without making a statement .

    Good to hear it was This Morning rather than This Mourning.

    It's bonkers that we have, in the space of 10 days, pulled together the largest meeting of world leaders ever. I don't think any other country in the world could do that. And every country in the world wishes they could.

    It's a ridiculous amount of soft power. Far more so than our own PM has.

    Sure it's weird that we put these posh folk in gilded cages and get them to shake hands and hand out prizes, but boy does it work.

    We also invented all the top sports. We rock!

    Shame so many people are too poor to heat and eat, but you can’t have everything.

    I don’t think they did anything wrong in this instance. They were doing their job. Complaining about them getting access is a bit like going to a gig and moaning that the roadies get to go nearer the stage than you.

    In saying that, I’ve signed anyway because their show is shyte and I hate that they review it every week on Gogglebox.

    It's a bit obscene really. Profiting from a death. But many people today have no sense of decorum or principles. It's the society Thatcher espoused with her Yuppies. Make money any way you can. Anyway I thought eBay were banning all of these. Obviously some of their staff are asleep.

    Shyte. It's the bottom of the barrel. Two morons whose collective grey matter is barely enough to cover a sandwich. And whose collective ego's are staggering. Schofield ought to be hung.drawn and quartered alone for those horrific WeBuyAny***** adverts. Willoughby epitomizes today's society where being dumber than a plank and having connections inside an industry is the pathway to fortune.

    I wonder if these are the sort of joke bids one gets on eBay. Or if people genuinely have more money than sense.

    It's ironic that her dark secret is that she was once a democratic idealist and not that she has turned into a cynical backer of the wealthy at the expense of the majority.
