Long live the Queen, but why should I care?
The Queen died and is now being buried in a lengthy solemn ceremony. Tedious, if you ask me. As it unrolls before my eyes, I keep asking myself, what’s the difference between grieving Stalin and grieving the Queen? Stalin was a controversial figure who consolidated the country and won the war of extermination against 30 nations. Elizabeth II was a nominal leader of an Empire based on loot and pillage, she was not a very good mother-in-law and probably not the best sister either.
