I wasn’t attached to him, but why are we celebrating?


General  belief that he was a racist, misogynist, prick to be honest. I’m not so much celebrating his death, rather not mourning (outside of the empathy felt for a family that has experienced a death).

I don't celebrate the person dying, but I do celebrate the death of what he represents. I'll feel the same way when the queen eats dirt, if that ever happens.

 

Does anyone know what will happen to all the land they own if/when the monarchy is abolished? Would it be like a divorce settlement where they're still allowed to keep half? In that case they would still be ridiculously wealthy.

They keep only the lands they own which is Balmoral Castle and Sandringham Estate. Everything else they own by virtue of being the monarch, it goes when they go.

Imagine a world where the monarchy says "NO!" To that and raises their own army of crotchety old men
