I am anything but British, but still consider any joking about the potential death of HM very bad form. The majority of you should know better.

I am very British and I joke about the death of the Queen most days, as do most of us right?

Curbie, I can reveal that your Mum, the most ardent Royalist either of us have ever met, loved it. She would, it was her idea!

Also, nice work Ed.

Rikkor, substitute Hillary & Barack for Charles and HM, and I think you'd laugh a little.

I'm sure I've seen a clip of Charles laughing at a joke about his mother retiring. Anyone remember ?

...and it's so lonely on a limb, Rikkor.

Life is very long, when you're lonely.

Once again Rikkor tells the rest of us what we can and cannot find amusing. GTFO

Must say I really can take no credit for the post, and will pass the bouquet to Alan Smithee.

Has the Queen died?

Does that mean they're going to repeat all her Xmas shows for a week?

Actually, it's pretty poor taste to joked about the death of a president, as we have had so many removed from office by assassins. And, the Queen is not a head of government.

I do agree with Rikkor...not great to joke about anyone dying if they haven't. I think Chris Morris was sacked for joking about Heseltine's death?

Pretty funny, but there should be some limits.

Hang on... the jokes not about the queen dying - spare a thought for poor old Sir Digby St John Filigree-Gresham instead you insensitive bastards.
It's not funny, or kosher, to have a pop at any of the royals. But (and the knighthood makes no odds here) commoners are fair game.
Therefore, very funny story.

Regicide is not a joke.

I'm very serious about it.

Satire officially gives up and goes home as a supporter of the US Republican party talks about taste and morality...

@ronseal. Sorry to hear about your five-a-side being cancelled.

By the way, this is the kind of trashy, tasteless Queen-bashing Rikkor is talking about...

I'm still dealing with the legal fall-out of imagining the Queen's death therein. If you read it, you're guilty too, I'm afraid.

so
Reg may be killed
Mat may be killed
Sue may, also. Sad.

God save the queen...
As an aetheist republican i dont think this will help her.

And IMHO no one is any more important than anyone else.

THe death of the Queen is no laughing matter when you consider who gets the job next.

I forget the line of succession. It's Lady Beryl Windsor, followed by the most senior male corgi, followed by Caroline of Monaco, isn't it?

Personally, I think Pippa Middleton’s bum should be next in line to the throne. I would have absolutely no problem kissing her ring.

JohnA, although you’re undoubtedly the biggest arsehole on here, no-one’s ever going to kiss you. Thank you for the warm welcome, by the way.
