Should we not be happy and joyful that we have a new monarch?

It's not like Liz was cut down in her prime. It's been building to this for years.

Celebrate her life, celebrate the start of a new reign, let the family grieve in private, roll out the pomp of a state funeral.

but all this mawkish national mourning can f**k right off.
