Whether a loyal Royalist or a Republican should not matter.
However, the lurking suspicion & fear is that the round of games were cancelled for fear of disrespect from some elements of the terraces (which might undermine to some extent the establishment messaging to the nation).
The fact is most other sports (golf, rugby, cricket) carried on and it is grossly unfair on those supporters who are out a fortune and massively disappointed as a consequence of this imo wrong decision.
Once again the fans opinion was simply disregarded.
Small p - political point of sorts of my observation/opinion (right or wrong who knows?):
What was also imho laughable & lamentable, in a so called free open information society and democracy, was the pretence the Queen was not deceased from 12.30pm, when the PM & commons were imo informed that the Queen had sadly passed away, until the 6.30pm official Palace announcement.
If she wasn’t deceased around this time (circa shortly after midday) why were the news presenters suddenly wearing black outfits and black ties long before the official announcement which just said regarding time of death ‘this afternoon’? And why have we not been told the official time of Her Majesty’s death at any point since?
It all felt & feels a tiny bit like being in North Korea or Russia with collaborative media outlets pouring out establishment misinformation.to it’s loyal subjects.
Finally R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth 11.
