Personally I understand both perspectives (and at the end-of-the-day there are people more-opposed to official respect for the queen’s passing just-because weekend-footie’s been cancelled) but I just feel like she was too-much of a formidable and loyal character overall for her memory to be post-humously tainted by the fact that the monarchy she was under was (directly or indirectly) responsible for certain colonial mishaps. Plus there are some people out there who’ll say anything on social-media for clout/a reaction under the projected guise of sentimental morality so it’s just one of those things. One-way-or-the-other, people of any race who think her death is something to actively-celebrate are disgusting.
