3. That are having operations some have waited - and I’m not exaggerating, have waited years for and may actually die before their next appointment because the already longest waiting lists in the history of the National Health Service are being added to unnecessarily.

People are even being advised not to be seen riding a bicycle during the funeral because it is ‘disrespectful’. Councils have cordoned off bicycle racks as a mark of respect with the punishment of a fine and your bicycle removed if you secure it to a bicycle rack.

A holiday park even went as far as saying those staying there would have to leave for the day of the funeral and come back the following day. That’s right, they were going to kick everyone out - mid stay, and have them come back to complete their stays later. They recanted when people went nuts about it.

If you want citations, because the above is ####ing unbelievable, I can provide them.

Yeah, I felt a bit sad when the queen passed - but the sycophancy and the 10 days of this BS has sickened me. I’ve even joined an organisation dedicated to abolishing this circus.

god save the king because I don’t want to go through this crap again any time soon.

What's the story behind this one? Like what's the issue with bikes in particular?
