You think it’s brainwashing to play the national anthem after our head of state dies?

You guys play your national anthem at literally every sporting event ever, don’t you? Including school sport?

I'm English. So having grown up in England it's just my view of it from here.

And my point was broader than just paying the anthem (which I'm sure you know.) All of the videos etc. on the BBC, it's like conditioning you to believe that she's part of your life. Not by anyones choice, you are just told that she is. 

Just seems very bizarre to me with all of the advances we've had and improvements in general education since she was coronated.

But please be offended!

RIP. Had a very good innings. I don’t hold her any resentment 
 

Heard a crazy stat before, she has reigned for a quarter of the length of time that there has been USA

66 years of Australia's 121 years of existence, so, more than half.

That boris reign finished her off

Why won't it be a Sunday? The funeral is on the tenth day after the day of death.

The day of national mourning will be the Sunday so no public holiday as such

It's like she died on the perfect day.

It's not like the media to be wrong
