    In the queue in Edinburgh. 12 hours we've been told.

    The thing I would have done is to issue timed entry tickets online. This would regulate the numbers turning up, allow proper planning for the crowds and remove the need for standing in line for many hours.

    Pedo boy gets to wear uniform, Harry not. This is KC humiliating his own son in favour of his trafficky brother because that's what wounded self importance looks like.

    Enough. Arsenic in his Epsom salts, and extra helpings for the Queen fucking Consort. What a monumental fucking shit.

    The Ukrainian General Staff are reporting that this is because Russian soldiers are refusing to be deployed to Ukraine. Even in units of volunteers that have been recently formed.

    The Russian War effort is teetering on the brink.
    If Kherson capitulates, the Special Operation over by the weekend.

    And Ukraine moves on to reclaim Crimea.

    And Putin will be teetering on a sixth floor balcony.

    Pedo boy vs being a bit of a twat, is a distinction I find very easy to make, as is my children vs my siblings. Charles is an adulterous shit, and the nation will agree with me this time next year.

    The Independent got its facts wrong and the monarchy lives to fight another day. Far enough though. Neither Andrew or Harry are serving in the military, so why should they be allowed to dress up when both have forfeited the ceremonial roles?

    A decent father would be proud of the direction Harry has moved in in the past few years. The king has no f***ing idea how to be a husband, a father, a guy who's giving a speech at a meeting, etc. His nemesis awaits and he's going to meet it before next September.

    Re the television- if a large chunk of the population was still stuck on the terrestrial 5 channels I’d be less likely to support the BBC dedicating most of the day to this - because I don’t actually think the constant coverage of death and despair is particularly great for peoples psyches.

    You’d have to be made of stern stuff to have gotten through the last 5 days having watched all or most of this - yes it’s a fascinating bit of history but it’s all death and endings and sadness and sorrow. At least with many more channels and online platforms now people can dip in and out of it.

    Luckily as much as some appear to like to protest otherwise it is relatively easy to escape from it all.

    If it hadn't been for the protesters some of us wouldn't have had anything to complain about!

    What do you mean by "now"? Spain is not just tapas and paella. Did Ferran Adrià's El Bulli pass you by a dozen or more years back? Three Michelin Stars; best restaurant in the world; founders of molecular gastronomy. They even took Masterchef finalists there one year, iirc.

    To include family or not to include family in political ads?

    In this area, there are three women candidates who are getting a lot of ad time, the state's senior senator, Democrat Patty Murray, Democrat Kim Schrier, the incumbent congresswoman in the swing 8th district, and Republican Tiffany Smiley, who is challenging Murray.

    All three women are married (happily as far as I know). Murray has two adult children, Schrier has one child, and Smiley has three young boys.

    You would not know about the Democratic women's families from their ads. Murray and Schrier never mention their husbands or children -- but Smiley's appear in most of her ads. That may be partly because she has a good story. After her husband lost his eyesight from a suicide bomber in Iraq, she had four guys to take care of, one blind, and three quite young. But Murray's and Schrier's missing families in their ads have begun to puzzle me.

    (There is a detail about Dr. Schrier that may interest, for example, Dr. Foxy: In her first campaign, she was accused -- correctly as far as I know -- of refusing to accept Medicaid patients in her pediatric practice. Medicaid, of course, is the US program for poor folks.)

    It's one quite marked difference between the US and UK. I can't remember the last time I learned anything about a local politician's partner or children - in fact, I don't know whether several of my close colleagues have any of either, and the general public certainly don't have any idea either. It seems intrusive to ask and ostentatious (bordering on misuse of children) to flaunt them. In the US, although as you say not universal, it seems quite common.

    But Russia already look to be retreating from northern Donbass back toward the frontier pre-February.

    This is an astonishing disaster - military, diplomatic, strategic and of course humanitarian.

    This aged well, in the space of a weekend...

    Tucker Carlson's top Russia-Ukraine war expert Douglas MacGregor, on Friday night: "This entire war may be over" soon, "right now things are going very, very badly" for the Ukrainians and they're "desperate," "they're losing once again just south of Kharkiv."
    https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1569321565531115523

    Those on the American right ra-ra-ra-ing for Putin are quite a spectacle.

    Reagan would be appalled.
    Agreed.
    A Ukrainian victory might also be quite consequential in the midterms, and perhaps the Presidential, too.

    While Senate Republicans have largely voted to support Ukraine, there are plenty of voices on the right (Carlson, and of course Trump himself) who’ve basically backed Putin.

    In any event, it’s a huge win for Biden’s foreign policy judgment.

    To determine that we need to know what a Ukrainian win is. The Anne Applebaum article I linked to this afternoon is really worth a read.

    How does this end? With Putin following so many of his enemies out a window? Probably. But then what? Is Russia going to tolerate hundreds or even thousands of its men being prosecuted for war crimes? Do they pay to rebuild Ukraine? What happens to Crimea? To the people they have stolen?

    Even putting the outside risk of a nuclear war to one side how does this horror end?
    I honestly don’t know. It’s deeply tricky.
    @DavidL
    That Applebaum article has no answers and no insight to offer on the question of 'what happens next in the event of a Ukraine victory'. She is just suggesting that we should embrace the chaos of a collapsing Russia.

    If people really think that the answer to all of this is to 'beat back Putin, get him overthrown' etc then they need to justify this by reference to what they see happening next. "Embrace the chaos" is an answer that is reckless to the point of being idiotic. Particularly given that nuclear weapons are in play.
    Whilst forward thinking is a good thing in general, I do think this is expecting a bit too much of people. Is it really so unreasonable for people to be overwhelmingly focused on achieving the first step, victory for Ukraine? That, despite excellent news this week, is not exactly guaranteed, certainly not for all parts of Ukraine to be liberated.

    I mean, if I am in a rapidly sinking boat I should still be worried about what direction I am headed, but I'd be a little busy trying to stay afloat to give it much thought.
    I get that, and take some satisfaction from the setbacks that Russia are experiencing.
    But this 'victory' is also something that we have created, by providing guns and training to Ukraine, so we have to work out what the long term goals are.
    What are they? I don't think we know. Hence the idiocy of this suggestion 'embrace the chaos'.

    The king won't last long. Harry isn't stupid and he has a backbone. He has matured amazingly since his Nazi uniform idiocy, the Las Vegas business, and Afghanistan. His spoilt toe-rag of a father will never mature.

    What if...just imagine...Harry were to have written a few alternative versions of one of the chapters in his book...and he chooses the one that really gives his father the almighty kick in the b*llocks he deserves and he leaks a copy later this week? Bye-bye kingy. Bye-bye monarchy. Go for it, Harry.

    All the build-up is in one direction. All the other side have got is to print articles saying trillions of admirers are flocking the streets, blah blah. They've got absolutely nothing else - oh, some stuff about the late queen. WTF has she got to do with anything?
    Sorry to disappoint but while Diana's son and heirs are in line the monarchy is secure.

    As far as KCIII is concerned he's going to be an unpopular monarch but the people will tolerate him while they wait for William and Catherine - the true heirs - to ascend.

    If Harry did that most of the population would take the King's side and boo Harry if he ever set foot in this country again.

    He would reveal himself as nothing but the petulant, rude, ungrateful, spoilt brat he is who abandoned his royal duties to run off to California with Meghan to make money off his royal fame. Hopefully after this week he will show a bit more maturity!

    New YouGov poll finds that 44% of people in the UK say they shed a tear or welled up over the Queen's death.

    We will not have a monarchy by the time I die.

    You think that's a low amount? I'm astonished it's that high. I haven't well up about it, and I am a monarchist to my core.
    Indeed, I am a diehard monarchist but did not cry over it
    Maybe I'm unusual.

    I couldn't sleep Thursday night - I was up all night from 2am - and cried several times on Friday night. I found my daughter's confusion hard to deal with, and choked up at that. It happened again during the new King's speech.

    I went to church yesterday and emerged red-eyed, but just about managed to keep it in check. I cried again during the TV shots of the hearse carrying Her body through Scotland.

    I've had a couple of moments today when I've been close to tears. I've tried to focus on work.

    I'm struggling. I keep expecting to wake up. I keep expecting to see her walk out and be told it was all just a hoax.

    I want her back. And I know she never will be.
    It's ok to be a bit unusual.
    No its not, its a man in need of therapy he should go see one pronto. What he describes is not a sane response to the passing of a woman he has never met and had no ties with

    New YouGov poll finds that 44% of people in the UK say they shed a tear or welled up over the Queen's death.

    We will not have a monarchy by the time I die.

    You think that's a low amount? I'm astonished it's that high. I haven't well up about it, and I am a monarchist to my core.
    Indeed, I am a diehard monarchist but did not cry over it
    Maybe I'm unusual.

    I couldn't sleep Thursday night - I was up all night from 2am - and cried several times on Friday night. I found my daughter's confusion hard to deal with, and choked up at that. It happened again during the new King's speech.

    I went to church yesterday and emerged red-eyed, but just about managed to keep it in check. I cried again during the TV shots of the hearse carrying Her body through Scotland.

    I've had a couple of moments today when I've been close to tears. I've tried to focus on work.

    I'm struggling. I keep expecting to wake up. I keep expecting to see her walk out and be told it was all just a hoax.

    I want her back. And I know she never will be.
    It's ok to be a bit unusual.
    No its not, its a man in need of therapy he should go see one pronto. What he describes is not a sane response to the passing of a woman he has never met and had no ties with
    Never seen people get upset at the death of a celebrity before then?

    Upset, sure.
    Angry and abusive? Not really.
