Today, we have lost a remarkable woman. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth.

Over her 70 year reign, and 96 year life, she has shown constant courage- and appreciation, for her beloved kingdom. I am personally wishing the people of Britain the best in this time of mourning. From fighting in World War 2, to the recent war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic- she has shown how dear the UK was to her.

4 years ago, we gained independence from the UK- and have had a consistently good relationship. I, and many people across the island of Great Britain, are shocked. The national anthem of the United Kingdom- God Save The Queen (now King), will be played tomorrow at 12PM to show solidarity with our neighbours. Our views may have been as different as can be- but I have always had respect for her, and what she has done for this nation. I wish the best for the British people, and the best of luck for King Charles III on his reign.

God Save The Queen,

Long Live The King

We refuse to pay respects to a monarchy based on colonization and we must abolish the monarchy.
