I'd understand their stance if the rest of their output was "Hey! Look at this cute gif of a small piglet having fun in the rain!", but the rest of their posts are also just slightly more detailed looks at the weather. Nobody (but nobody) is going to pile in on the Met Office for providing a mid-afternoon update on the rain that they forecast that morning. [Post edited 9 Sep 2022 13:34]

What else he says How about the shipping forecast hourly? Semi-clad weather girls showing us their warm fronts? There's plenty more they could do. |  |

Now they've cancelled the weather... on 13:39 - Sep 9 with 2165 views | jeera | I have just been outside and can confirm weather is still happening. Not as I would like as I've just done some laundry in anticipation of a few hours outdoor drying time and felt a bit silly putting the washing line up as it started to rain.

Disagree - I think Bloots is feeling sensitive about this, perhaps mourning and perhaps as a result, a tiny bit over-ready to hit back. Natural enough. Without wanting to sound like a c**ty holier-than-thou, I think we all need to consider each other a bit more than normal over the next couple of weeks, or everything could get very fraught. edit: "we" as in the whole population.

Way to let the air out of the Bloots brand ... I’ll respond as he would have wanted with a “Roflcopter”. Although I agree with your point re: people in general needing more considerate handling at this time. |  |

You took the BANTER approach to the fact a load of our Norwegian supporters, many I know personally, have flown over to an unneeded game cancellation. Is this really or funny appropriate at a time when lost financial costs are affecting us all worse than usual? To have games cancelled out of "respect" for someone who never had such financial concerns in their lifetime? That's the only edgy stuff I've really seen here in said regard. Even Blueas hasn't bothered with that angle. [Post edited 9 Sep 2022 14:01]

We should have been doing that years ago against power structures like the monarchy that got us to such a wealth/inequality gulf nationally and globally. I don't want national unity over things that are actually detrimental to such causes. Some of us would rather carry on as normal. |  |

Well their not exactly gonna publicly post something negative as a collective are they? They can't change it. It's still money and plans down the pan for many. Not sure what sharing this tweet proves, other than further tone deafness. Just because it doesn't affect you personally that much doesn't mean you have to be be a trolly edgelord about it and wind others up. Which is exactly what you're doing. |  |

Quite, because there's a lot more to most people's reactions, I think, than the Queen's death as a single event, significant as that is to most considering she's been around pretty much all of our lives. It comes at a time when we're in post Covid crisis, NHS crisis, Brexit crisis, cost of living crisis, an evil right-wing govt. that's increasingly taking measures to lead us into being a fascist state, and above all an environment crisis that almost every month now is throwing up "weather events" around the world that show we're all in a very perilous state. The seemingly ever-present bastion of stability now going is making us all feel particularly fragile & instinctively more adrenalised, I feel. Peace, bros & sisters :) |  |
