this shit is literally crashing reddit servers

lmao, from the top thread on this

I haven't felt like this since the opening credits of The Force Awakens.

 

[Snarfington]

It is a load of nothing. Zilch on UK media about this today.

Definitely not saying it's something (I don't think it is), but you'd hear absolutely nothing from the press beforehand if it was bigger news.

 

[mo60]

So will we now why this emergency meeting was called in like 27 minutes from now?

 

[_Nemo]

Queen just forgot the wifi password, again.

Not long to go until the BBC would comment if it was something (8am).

 

[Cepheus]

UK GAF member here. The Queen's abdicating because she doesn't want to deal with Trump on his state visit.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Queen just forgot the wifi password, again.

"123Queen" is really hard to remember.

If TMZ doesn't know, it's nothing.

Don't think so. From looking at that reddit page people were just speculating that there might be an announcement.

 

[Yoda]

The Royal Family has come to the realization that they should returned all the stuff they inherited which was stolen via conquest by their ancestors.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Don't think so. From looking at that reddit page people were just speculating that there might be an announcement.

Isn't there a load of press gathering outside though?

 

[wandering]

For all the shit Gaf gets for overreacting, Reddit is even worse.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Where'd you see that?

 

[Symphonia]

If TMZ doesn't know, it's nothing.

I don't think you know how royal announcements working. Literally no one knows anything until the BBC does. And even if they do, only the BBC can officially confirm the news first. Always been that way.

News page on Twitter,

This is true.

If anyone important were dead we'd know already.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Hmm ok, thanks. Strange.

Good to hear. I may not be British but have always wished I was.

 

[EVO]

Half Life 3 announcement?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

If it is anything serious, life is going to be unbearable for the short term future. Nearly every conversation in Britain will revolve around this, for weeks.

Quit facebook now. It's your only hope.

I can already see May taking advantage of any potential royal death in the Brexit negotiations.

Not to mention the crazy ramp up of rhetoric we'll see from the Tories. Sovereignty will take on a whole new meaning for some people. Enemy at the gates, EU pillaging the country, etc,etc, etc.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Good to hear. I may not be British but have always wished I was.

Why.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Could it be as simple as a staff restructure?

 

[Banderdash]

Why.

Tea, good manners, NHS, instinctual understanding of queuing?


Could she be dismissing the government?.. she has that power right?

Spoiler

It's probably Harry getting married.

 

[Kalor]

Could it be as simple as a staff restructure?

Maybe but I don't know why they called a meeting at 3am for that.

 

[theaface]

Could it be as simple as a staff restructure?

A new strong and stable leadership initiative, perhaps?

 

[Einchy]

Tea, good manners, NHS, instinctual understanding of queuing?

Saying mate.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Could it be as simple as a staff restructure?

And you'd call a meeting at that time of day?

Nah.

Harry's getting married.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Maybe but I don't know why they called a meeting at 3am for that.

Someone is dead, or there is a threat to royal or national security...otherwise they wouldn't call them in at 3am

 

[daviyoung]

Shotgun wedding?

 

[GCX]

And you'd call a meeting at that time of day?

Nah.

Harry's getting married.

Considering the time of the invitation call, Harry probably got married last night at 2am.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

3am indicates to me it's something serious even if they're downplaying the news thus far. Hope we find out soon.

 

[BeardyChan]

Are they bringing charges against Trump? Whatever it may be I hope it's at least worth the drama.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Fair enough, the timing certainly seems odd for something that's not really newsworthy.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Tea, good manners, NHS, instinctual understanding of queuing?

Spoiler

It's probably Harry getting married.

She dissolved the government yesterday, as per protocol for an upcoming general election. Beyond that, she wouldn't be doing anything regarding the government, realistically.

 

[Plasma]

I think whatever the announcement is we should at least be given the day off to process it.

 

[Spaghetti]

I hope they put out a statement at 8. The curiosity is killing me.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

I hope they put out a statement at 8. The curiosity is killing me.

Same here. Really want to know what's going on.

 

[Brinbe]

Can't wait till it's nothing

[travisbickle]

This is what happens bremoaners when you keep putting Britain down! The Queen dies.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I hope they put out a statement at 8. The curiosity is killing me.

Yep.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Nothing on BBC Breakfast.

It's nothing.

 

[Meadows]

Nothing from BBC or Sky.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Hmm :/

 

[Chumley]

Nothing on BBC Breakfast.

It's nothing.

Then what the fuck was the meeting for

 

[mo60]

Yeah. I don't think it's anything huge anymore.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Fuck you reddit.

Social Media strikes again!
