UK: From the Summer of Discontent to the Autumn of Mourning

 

Friends in the UK, I feel for you... 

Trains are hardly working, buses have no drivers, the strikers are exhausted, the pounds is plunging, the bills are sky-rocketing, the crises are deep, the forests are burning, the summer only expressed discontent, the new government is bleak... 

And now you have to cope with official days of mourning. 

"There will be a period of royal mourning for seven days after her funeral."

"On Friday, Buckingham Palace announced that the period of royal mourning will be observed from now until seven days after the Queen's funeral. This means the mourning period will last a total of 17 days."
