Are you Lizz Truss? Because apparently she got the news around the time you posted this message.
I might ask Scara for one of those ITK badges.

Seriously? Why the hell not? FFS. A 96 year old died, so what.we don't get to see any PL football this weekend.
Wrong kind of Queen mateGot a stag do next week abroad, better still be going ahead.
Official mourning guidance?! WTAF!
He’s made that up.

Got to side with the 96-year-old-woman-dies-in-palace shock phalanx on this one.
Genuine question - what has been her impact? What did these years of 'service' actually look like and entail?
She never stood up as anti-racist or spoke up for equality, never meaningfully acknowledged the issues of Empire or the Commonwealth or Windrush or immigration. She never overtly moved to support or improve education. She has never supported LGBTQ+ rights or anything that went against her out-dated moral values. She never used either her position, wealth or land to improve the environment. She wore a broach once to show she possibly preferred the UK to stay in the EU but otherwise was unable to express any position at all on any major civil issue (non-political) of the last 60 years??
She opened a lot of hospitals, launched lots of warships, helped some trade deals and drank lots of tea. Anything else?
I'm sure she was a nice lady, maybe even lovely, and not talking ill of her as person but '7 decades of 'service'? Really?

To be fair I did meet her once and she was alright.
I hope having a more left wing monarch now does some good for the green agenda

Has the world changed or have I changed?
The finest moment of my favourite band. An incredible song.
(Given his later swing to the far right Morrissey now likely to be a pall bearer at the funeral.)
