Speaking as an Irish person who hates inherited titles, those people are effing assholes. What part of don't speak I'll of the dead did they miss out on?

I've always gone by the motto that if the dead didn't want us to speak ill of them, they shouldn't have been bad people during their lives.

Totally fair and I don't entirely disagree but the whole don't speak I'll of the dead thing is very much ingrained in Irish culture.
Also, Liz 2 was presumably a reasonably decent person, and can't really be blamed for the actions of the British government.

They're probably not Irish people.

Either your typical bottom-up social media fake news, or the usual MO of certain intelligence agencies to sow division in the anglosphere.
