It’s getting a bit ridiculous now tbh. I’ve seen posts of:

- funerals being cancelled
- operations being cancelled
- cancer treatments cancelled
- some petrol stations closed
- food banks closed

What’re they going to do next, the NHS come out and say don’t get ill or have a baby that day as there’ll be no doctors or midwives working that day as a “mark of respect”. The REAL reason they’re all jumping on the bandwagon of mass hysteria is because they don’t want bad press calling them out saying “they’re being disrespectful”.

Petrol stations and shops need to remain open as they are essential services. The entire situation is getting on my nerves now. I’m all for respecting Her Majesty for all she has done over the past 70 years but not at the expense of people’s livelihoods and especially with the current cost of living crisis as people will possibly lose out on wages.

A lot of these companies seem to think everyone will want to sit and watch the funeral when that is clearly not the case from what I’ve seen on various social media platforms. Some people actually do want to go to work and earn money to keep a roof over their heads and their PR obsessed bosses are too blind to see it.

The Nisa Local across the road from my place will only be closed during the funeral service and then it reopens at 2pm. This is what food shops / stores should be doing not closed for the entire day.
