- 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.

Basically this!
Like I said further up, they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. And it's not necessarily because it makes them look good, but because they think they'll look bad if they don't. And those professional complainers, sorry, journalists, will see them as an easy target to get a few clicks for the Ronnie Gill!

Every company has blacked out their profiles on the socials, why? Not because of respect, but because others have and they don't want to be seen as not doing it.
It's exactly the same as Pride month when everyone adds a rainbow. They aren't doing it because they support the LGBTQs, they're doing it because if they don't, then they think it'll look like they don't support them.
