<quotes>

James O'Brien has challenged the need to have such a long queue to see Her Majesty's coffin

"This is deliberate, I don't know that we've dwelt upon this fact enough," he said.

The presenter blamed the Establishment saying: "Somebody somewhere has very deliberately conceived a plan to have hundreds of thousands of people snaking through London visibly, publicly, and performatively queuing to pay their respects to the late Queen."

"The more I think, hang on a minute, it's wonderful that hundreds of thousands of people want to walk past the Queen's coffin, but they really don't have to do it in a way that involves people queuing up for eight, nine, ten hours or more, they really could have done it in a way that meant people would queue up for more than an hour or two."

James pointed to possible alternative options such as applying online and turning up in hour-sized slots.

Alternative, they could have just told people to form a queue and driven the coffin past it.

They tried that in Scotland. They'd have to do it more than once. HMQ
would have to pass by every 45 minutes, 30 on weekdays and she'd have to
drive by slow enough for people to be able to nod and cross themselves etc.

It worked in Scotland, worked on the drive from RAF Northolt to Buck House, Buck House to Westminster Hall, will from Westminster Hall to the abbey, then on to Windsor.

People don't have any given right to see the coffin or pay their respects in the way they want so they can take whatever they are given. No need for repeat passes, just enough of a route which maximises opportunity to see it, will do.

I don't see it as any different to attending the Tour de France or other road race where you get a three second glimpse of the peloton as it blurs by. I get there's the 'being there' but one sees so much more watching on TV.

Is it really worth all those 'wasted hours' for a few seconds, worth those few seconds to miss everything else they are missing ?

To me it feels like a public reenactment of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, people all round the country compelled to craft catafalques out of mash before being drawn to Westminster Hall like moths to the flame.

No one can actually articulate why they are compelled to be there, so perhaps it's more They Live!

It feels like a duty or obligation being imposed upon us with some complying by wilfully choosing to believe it's a real duty, behaving like sheeple, while convincing themselves they aren't.

Maybe it's a side-effect of whatever they hid in covid vaccines :-)

At least The Met, Facebook and others, will have a whole raft of facial recognition images to be working with in the coming months.

Such an immobile, distracted crowd should be a great opportunity for all
the 3rd world criminals packed into Londonstan to rob, rape and pillage.
