After the death of the QUEEN the UK has gotten a taste of government propaganda and what it feels to live under a monarchy as millions of advertisement board with the queen's face fills everywhere.
Lots of British are taking to social media to complain about the awkward experience they've had with this pictures. With many comparing UK with NORTH KOREA.

There is an unofficial mandatory mourning for every organisation in UK and they're required to each put out this Ads on respect to the queen or get cancelled by the government.
So they don't really have a choice

It's cringe and the people don't appreciate it,you can't forcefully make people see the queen's face in every inch of the country, including public toilets .

A few posts by people whose nationality you can't really confirm is what you're riding on to push your anti-west narrative? Even without being told, do you think it's wise for a bank in England for example, not to put up a picture to mourn the queen? Even if the owner of the business does not like the queen, it's the logical thing to do out of respect for his employees and customers who do. If you disregard the country to that extent, you're canceling yourself.

It is not mandatory to mourn the queen, however, businesses know it is in thier best interest to show respect to the lady who has occupied the thrown for 70 years. It's a matter of PR. If the market you're targeting takes the queen seriously, you are obliged to, at least, pretend to take her seriously as well: BUS101. I'm very sure the person that compared the situation to North Korea is not from England and he's extremely dumb. He doesn't even know what dictatorship is. The queen couldn't influence dictatorship when she was alive, it's in death she's doing that? It's natural for some people not to like how things are done by thier leaders, but the comparison to N. Korea is overreaching.

The royal family, at this point, is merely a cultural heritage protected by the country (and others where they're still recognized) as a "living history". Asides from being a live demonstration of what things used to be like, it also serves to maintain the unique classic nature of England which, in addition to thier architecture and accent, makes the country stand out in the West. But then again, it's expensive to maintain and only a family gets to enjoy the royal privileges. Some people are not happy with this and their concerns are valid. However, this has always been the case even before the queen's death.

How do you know that north korean leader is a dictator? You just swallow what the west feeds you with. The people of north korea love and adore their leader just like the Uk adore theirs. His family has fought and. secured north korea from the scourge of capitalism promoted by US just like the monarchy has secured greatness for Uk. He kept the country going even with sanctions, so his people adore him. The monarchy is far from perfect and this here is pure dystonian. Forcing the image of the queen down the people's throat. Businesses have to comply or be shut. This is pure polite draconian move. Do you know how much they are loosing from not marketing their products. Enough of this hypocricy. If we codemn nk let us also codemn uk too.

I guess China and Russia were also forced to send condolences or else the countries will be shut down, right? I'm sure the US was forced to hang their flags halfway or get shutdown. Even Nigeria was forced to do same, right? Apparently, you don't know what is called social responsibility.

Pray tell, where did you read that businesses will be shut down if they refuse to mourn the queen? Which business owner have you talked with and they told you they were forced to put up an image of the queen? The queen's image is all over public properties like train stations and others. International companies like Google, etc also put up her image. Advertising firms and other big organizations in the UK are also doing the same all because it's good for their image. They're simply jumping in on the trend. They are mourning the queen cause it's good for thier PR, dude. It is a major event in the country and this is exactly what is expected. They're not doing it for the queen, they're doing it as a sign of respect to the country and because not doing so is bad for business. Have ever had a business outfit before? You guys just stay in Nigeria, cook up things and start wriggling.

As for North Korea, a system of government in which one person makes the law is called what? Democracy? Please, dude.
