So silence is violence eh?
Those who think that obviously do not really know about violence....not fake violence, but real stuff.
Woke is smoke....meant to obscure.

its just a pick and mix situation where they want silence when it suits them only. you cannot discuss anything nowadays with many people. they want total integration in society but have caused more fifts in it than there has been for years.

After hearing the 21 gun salute for Prince Phillip it seems that Macron rang Boris and surrendered immediatly.

His funeral was a dignified and fitting tribute to the life of Prince Philip. The members of the various forces who took part were so impressive, did not put a foot wrong. The pall-bearers carried out their duty with precision and respect. The Lone Piper, how touching that was. The singers extremely talented. The Queen – so sad to see her sitting alone, an old lady saying goodbye to her partner and soulmate of many years. When the coffin was lowered into the Royal vault she must have been heartbroken at the finality of it all, but no-one was there to hold her hand while this was happening. Wealth and position mean very little at a time like this.

I felt very sad to see the Queen sat alone. She remained composed and dignified, but she must have felt very alone.
Why could she not have had Charles and Camilla alongside her?.....without any Social distance....they have all been vaccinated so surely the risks would have been negligible.
(That is if you believe the vaccine protects....and that is not a dig, just an observation)

It was a very fitting ceremony....and it made my eyeballs sweat a bit...it was the military bands, the buglers playing the Last Post and the lone piper that did for me.

You were not the only one Marge, the wail of the pipes always brings water to my eyeballs.
