Asda have removed all tubs of Celebration chocolates from the shelves of their stores āin order not to give offenceā. I kid you not.
Meanwhile children are going hungry, and people are piling up marmalade sandwiches on a pavement to go into landfill for a fictional bear.
Deranged Britain in the 21st century.
Got a link for that? I canāt see anything about it. 
I had to look that up - madder than a mad thing .
Me neither - they have done things like turn off in store music
I can only assume that the Asda store with the lack of Celebrations must have a punter with a sweet tooth and is stocking up for Xmas
Asda FM has long been shit.
When I used to work there (1992-93) they used to play most of Bohemian Rhapsody but fade it out off just before the fast bit.
After Mercury has spent most of the song talking about murdering someone. Still, we canāt have that fast bit 
I am beginning to think marmalade sandwiches is the least batshit thing
People have started queuing to pay their respects 53 hours before the doors open
As much as I am a royalist, there is no way I would even start to consider doing that. I would be having second thoughts if you told me the queue was 53 minutes
Nobody will queue for a corpse if they donāt know where it is;)
Iām sure part of the motivation for some in the queue wont be getting on the TV to tell everyone how much they are grieving, etc.
I see this got pulled from the BBC main page pretty sharpish this morning.
Canāt believe they send Prince Andrew on the tour. Asking for trouble and has already caused some
The related comments in that Twatter thread is a joy to read - well, they made me chuckle
There is a time and a place - and that wasnāt it
Hmmm - letās not get into an argument.
Youāve made clear youāre a royalist - Nothing else needs to be said.
it has nothing to do with being a royalist or not - its about being a decent human being. Shouting abuse at a funeral cortege (any funeral cortege) is not the act of a decent person, its just cunty.
Is it though?
Hypothetically, what if Jimmy Saville (or other convicted nonces) was being (re)buriedā¦should we bow our heads in mourning? Of course not

The real point is that people who donāt self-identify as Royalist are effectively having free speech surpressed.
Iām not thinking about the cortĆØge incidents but more generally IRL - itās getting a bit all Saint Diana again - which just shows the UK is still emotionally immature, IMHO of course.
It was from an Asda employee in a letter to an article about the cancel nonsense. Iām taking it at face value, but I suppose you never know.
There have been warnings that the queue for filing past the coffin could stretch through London back as far as Tower Bridge and beyond, predicting it could take up to 24 hours of shuffling forward. No sitting down for a rest, no facilities at all. What happens when people need to go to the toilet? People will be pissing everywhere, fainting etc. Advice given not to bring children, but I think we know that will be ignored by many. Itās got the potential to be a disaster.
Iāve seen a suggestion that the coffin should be suspended from a helicopter and flown past the queue for people who feel the need to indulge in this craziness, seems like a splendid idea to me. Andrew could be the pilot which would add some much needed levity to the occasion.
OK, what about if you donāt want to pay respects donāt go, why go to deliberately antagonise people who do want to pay respects.
The trouble with free speech is itās free until it upsets someone and then itās not free anymore.
