I am surprised by how the queens death has arisen so few reactions. This is a new era for England and the empire. The queen has been the corner stone of the imperial psyche for 70 years, the longest reign in history, like an undestructable monument, which infused an oceanic feeling of invulnerability, greatness and eternity. The hole left in the country's collective unconciousness will by no means be filled. And the contrast with the shrinking, miserable new era which looms behind the horizon will be so dramatic that we could easily see the coming of a republic in england
