There he was behind the casket, with the corgis, sitting front row, and not hidden far, far away behind the tall guy. Reminding me there are no benevolent seats of power.
You forgot about the British occupation, oppression, subjugation, and murder of the Irish People for over 800 years. Also that they still occupy a sizeable portion of Ireland, and only "let" the rest of the country go free in 1922.
The Troubles and Bloody Sunday happened under Queen Elizabeth's reign. She did not condemn any of it.
I'm of Irish descent, my great-grandparents having emigrated to the US to escape abject poverty and oppression of the British Crown in 1896, only to find more poverty and bigotry here. They ended up in Philadelphia, where my great-grandfather died of TB, only 12 years after arriving in the US. My great-grandmother died ~14 years later, poor, longing for home, having birthed 15 babies between 2 husbands, not all of whom made it past infancy.
Irish Twitter was on fire after QEII's death. They definitely weren't holding back.
To describe them as salty would be an understatement. Centuries of oppression become generational trauma. This was a release of some of that, but obviously not all.
Black and Indigenous Twitter went hard, but Irish Twitter? Straight to hell they went, and no fucks given!

Sign me up on the petition to make Harry "America's Prince." He can trademark that shit and throw it back in their faces.
