(14 Sep 2022, 4:56 pm)Adrian I've seen some foodbanks are also opting to close, which is absolutely bonkers given the reasons why they exist in the first place.

Some businesses seem to have gone mad over this. The Center Parcs fiasco is a prime example of it and has ultimately ended up being a PR disaster for them as a company. I wonder who ever thought it'd be a good idea to ask guests to leave mid-break for 24 hours, find somewhere else to sleep, then come back and 'enjoy' the rest of their holiday.

People already being force-fed coverage of this around the clock and now they're being pushed into spending their day in a sombre fashion, because at this rate they'll not be able to do anything else. Add people being arrested for protesting to the list, and it's becoming more-and-more authoritarian by the day.

I was originally meant to be travelling to Nottingham on Monday but considering that I am going to be left with several hours of everything being shuttered up its not going to be worth it, shame that when I contacted Northern this afternoon to seek about refunds for train travel, their customer services came back to me unsure what action they're even meant to be taking and suggest I ring their customer relations number, bad enough I don't particularly know what I'm doing considering all their website has on the matter is a dummies guide for how to get to/from London for the funeral full of insights such as London may be busy... geez, ya think?!!!

I found the news sad but expecting us to be sombre for nearly a fortnight is too much, its actually impacting my mental health as its just leading me to think of death and all that goes with it wether that be for myself or others I actually know which I will have to encounter in future, bad enough I already had death on my mind after a near miss from a car in Glasgow a few days prior.

The authoritarianism is unbearable, social media for me has been the same for the most part as it's all very much not allowed to say or do anything that disrespects her majesty, I'm not going round celebrating her death like that woman with a chip shop in Scotland was but feel like I'm going to get hell for the stupidest things, even making a comment about bus companies putting special destinations showing condolences seems off limits even though I've always held the stance of showing anything but the service indicator and service shouldn't be done, this post alone is probs enough to upset people I know.

Just want it done with as the atmosphere rn is unbearable.
