Plans for the death of the Queen

Most interestingly, several countries with the Queen as their Head of State have expressed a willingness to become Republics after Elizabeth passes. The most likely candidate being Australia. Her death is likely to cause the further deterioration of the British Empire, or whatever remains of it.

While the monarchy exists mostly in name outside the UK, her death will be closely followed by the people whose lives have been touched by the British Empire.

Wow, that article just goes on and on and on and on.

I tried to imagine the Queen herself reading it and being comfortable with the endless extravagance. Does she really see herself this way? Is it how she wants those resources to be used?

"Leaders", you want to buy them a mirror.

Earlier today I was reading about the shameful cost of Trump's Florida weekends and his family remaining in NYC. This after carping about Obama's occasional trips. Bleh.
