Everyone has the right to feel what they feel about everything

But there's feeling a certain way, and then there's being vile - an American "professor" got dragged on twitter for wishing an excruciating death on the Queen (before the announcement)

However much blame you throw at her for historic wrongs she had nothing to do with, that's disgusting behaviour.

For once I 100%-agree with you. I’ve seen people on Insta. posting non-stop venom about the Queen and that’s just beyond the bounds of acceptability/propriety. Why wait until the queen dies to paint her out like Adolf-Hitler if you’ve always seen her as an evil colonial enabler?
