Totally ridiculous

It’s ridiculous. Horse racing maybe as she was involved in but football. It’s pathetic and the number of random organisations tweeting condolences because they are petrified of criticism if they aren’t tweeting is astonishing. Bloody legoland has expressed condolences. I get it’s historic and I have no particular Bad feelings about the monarchy but some of the reactions from people who couldn’t give a flying f about her when she is alive is nauseating.
