I’ve already talked this week about how I think The Queue to see the Queen’s coffin is one of the most ridiculous events of all time, but somehow today it’s become even stupider.

Not only has the queue to spend 30 seconds in front of the Queen’s coffin – if that – risen to a 14 hour wait time, but it’s now so long that the authorities have stopped people joining it for six hours. With no other option, people who have made the trip to come and see the coffin have been forced to start a queue in order to join The Queue. Seriously.
Take a look at some of this:
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN’S LYING-IN-STATE QUEUE UPDATE, 09:50 AM, 16 Sept
Southwark Park has reached capacity. Entry will be paused for at least 6 hours. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
Please do not attempt to join the queue until it re-opens.

Is this the most British thing ever?
“What happens to the people who are tuning up now and cannot get into the queue. Will there be a queue to join the queue?”#QueenElizabethIIMemorial pic.twitter.com/Srq4PhBrSl

Man. Chris Morris wish that he could come up with this shit for ‘Brass Eye’. Absolutely phenomenal.
Surely the rest of the world must be looking at this situation and laughing their asses off at us? You have to laugh otherwise you’ll cry. It’s insane that this is the reality we’re currently living in.
For more of the same, check out Grimes saying that she was once accused of throwing a snowball at the Queen. Of course she was.
