Extra word, because 15 words directive MUST BE RESPECTED.

Queen Elizabeth II, by Happy Shopper on Sept 9, 2022 8:16:46 GMT 1, Is it an opportunity for Banksy to comment? Maybe a new street piece?
Probably coordinated with a Sex Pistols tribute single? 
(Doesnโt strike me as likely)

The Queen clearly had a great sense of duty, right up until the end, insisting on meeting Truss just hours before her death. But the tawdriness of the monarchy as a whole is an embarassment, essentially a family firm grimly hanging on to as much wealth and privilege as they can chisel from the state and from other sources of extreme wealth. Charles accepting - quite literally - a bag of cash from the Saudis is as good an example as you will find.
I'll double down on behalf of Atom Gallery by pointing out this item they have in their inventory:

Queen Elizabeth II, by Lroy on Sept 13, 2022 12:27:54 GMT 1, Nice Liberation cover ( as usual - Liberation is a left side French newspaper ) very classy and respectful.
Already sold out the day of the Queen disparition.
It means that French cared and gave attention - whatever political side and ยซย No Future ยป generations โฆ
Itโs true that she was charismatics and inspired a lot of artists, protesters or not.
I think that itโs a part of our childhood, of our past, of our UK ๐ฌ๐ง dreams and fantasmes about the rocking island, from Carnaby to Kings Road that has been gone in another world. A legend, as Kennedy and some great artists, even if she was before all a symbol of this country.
England will never have the same image with Prince Charles I think... but we we still have artworks and songs that will still cross the Channel for ever, and will still have resonance all over the world.
A bit of poetry has gone. Another century is already finished.

Queen Elizabeth II, by Daniel Silk on Sept 15, 2022 6:00:43 GMT 1, I'm perfectly happy and content. It's those of you who appear to feel depressed, oppressed, about their lives and the World that worries me ๐ I just wonder with your love of queen and country, what made you leave. Extra word, because 15 words directive MUST BE RESPECTED.
Are you suggesting if someone has "Love of Queen and Country" they should always stay in the Country? And so maybe those who don't have "Love of Queen and Country" should "Leave"? Maybe find another Country that's suits their beliefs more?

Queen Elizabeth II, by Acme Thunderer on Sept 15, 2022 7:00:05 GMT 1, There is a difference between free speech and inciting hatred/anger. Now is not the appropriate time to criticise the monarchy. At least wait until after the funeral.
Whatever you think of the monarchy, try to have a bit more respect for other people as you are now purposely trying to stir things up (and now bragging about it). It personally doesnโt upset me, but I know it creates bad feeling and upsets people, which is why decent people respect other peoples views and beliefs.
I find it ironic that for someone who criticises the monarchy you have been profiting for long enough by selling the Queenโs image on the prints you sell.
I know you wonโt take a blind bit of notice and you will try and defend yourself, but I am only asking that you put other peoples feelings above your own for just a few more days.

"which is why decent people respect other peoples views and beliefs", does this include racists, nazi's, indoctrinated conformists and violent ignorant right wing biggots? Enough of this cap doffing forelock tugging nonsense, wild to see the wheels come off the country but no suprise there's a collective mental illness sweeping across the land considering how the media and the ruling class frame this idea of "respect" for a family up their elbows in the blood and toil of others. It crushes me to see what the UK has become, a collective #stockholmsyndrome that's looking increasingly impossible to treat as it slips into an oppressive form of neo-feudalism. |

Understanding that on any subject, a percentage will always have the opposite opinion to yourself, and being able to accept that's inevitable.

I don't think there's anyone that would disagree, but how do you think those opinions are formed Daniel? who has the power to shape them? and knowing that "opinions" influence acts, how do you think we should combat "opinions" that are shown to be damaging to marginalised groups for example? It was "opinions" that lead to the belief and maintenance of the idea that the power of the monarchy, and subsequently their armies, were "God given". If you can't legitimately question this power by holding up a blank sign, what hope is there for the millions struggling under the tyranny of feudalism? By all means hold on to your beliefs and opinions, but the idea that they shouldn't be questioned or challenged by pain of prosecution, is literally fascism. Anyone speaking out against this, through their art or in whatever other means they have, is in my opinion, far more deserving of respect, than those that parrot and support the ambitions of the ruling class. |

Queen Elizabeth II, by Pete the Post on Sept 15, 2022 10:00:38 GMT 1, I was saying to someone yesterday- You could go around with loads of those signs printed off, sticking them to just about anything, and it would be entirely believable at the moment. It would appear that the whole country is under one! I mean I was waiting for BOE decision on interest rates yesterday only to find its been put back another week. Does the whole country have to grind to halt for weeks on end for the funeral of one person. Isn't it high time people woke up and realised that they are nothing more than a tourist attraction and one well passed redundancy. Pathetic!
I was saying to someone yesterday- You could go around with loads of those signs printed off, sticking them to just about anything, and it would be entirely believable at the moment.

People dont come to see them, as they know they wont get to see them. It would be a million to one that they would even get a decent glimpse. Tourists come for the buildings and the historic exhibitions in said buildings. The buildings arent going anywhere. |
