Her Majesty sets a new record.

[Clive Walker]

Can you elaborate?

she's a bloody idiot

 

[Clive Walker]

Elaborate? He can't even punctuate.

let me try this......your'e and idiot......mastered it!

 

[Surf's Up]

We will finally grow up as a country when we stop bowing and scraping to inherited privilege. Hard to know whether all this forelock tugging is comical or depressing

It's depressing.

 

[BBassic]

She's a great tourist attraction and I admit, despite not being enamoured with the Royal Family, that it'll be immensely sad for the nation when she does pop off but I'd struggle to call her 'amazing'.

She's just another human albeit one lucky enough to be born into a privileged family.

 

[Pavilionaire]

A remarkable woman, and I think now we need the Royal Family more than ever to promote Britain in a post-Brexit world.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Keep going your Majesty, keep Charles off the throne as long as possible.

I was a dyed in the wool republican and would always have said that an elected head of state was preferable but after the two big voting surprises last year, I'm now more favourably inclined to having a head of state that does it with the quiet dignity that the Queen does. Would anyone want a British Trump ?

Indeed in 2 weeks, Donald Trump as head of state of the USA has already embarassed that country more times than Liz has embarassed ours in 65 years. You can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times she has let our country down......her husband and children are a different matter..........but not her, Gawd bless your majesty. I think history will regard her as a great monarch.

I'd rather bow down to the Queen than the IRA-what's it got to do with you anyway?

What about Phil though?

 

[simmo]

What about Phil though?

Well as per my original mail Phil the Greek has let us down a few times, however, although indiscreet, he does I believe say it as it is. No doubt when the aforementioned Mr Trump arrives for his state visit he will do the same again, just in earshot of a rogue microphone....remarking to her majesty......"who is that dumbass, orange faced Yank"

Considering you identify as Irish, what are you on about as "we" ? It's got absolutely fvck all to do with you.

 

[whitelion]

Really?

That apostrophe is in the wrong place.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

big phil is an absolute lad

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What a pathetic post, is that the best you Republicans can do?

No. But I don't want to bore you.

I always assumed that London Irish was a Reading-based sports club.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It's a weird one-like i said earlier,when growing up i thought they were a waste of space,Princess Dianna and to be fair the Queen her very self have done more than most to bring the family closer to the public and it's affection and understanding than perhaps any other royals in recent times-
...

Eh? Is that the same Diana Spencer who went on the telly to slag off her in-laws?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Keep going your Majesty, keep Charles off the throne as long as possible.

I agree. I don't think Charles will be as good a sovereign as his mother. William, on the other hand, will be.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Exactly, it's not as if she hasn't had the best healthcare taxpayers can buy for her.

So did her father. 57 years old when he died.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

65 years without having to endure the expense and hype of a coronation ceremony? We have lived through fortunate times.

As opposed to an expensive inauguration ceremony for a president every four years.

 

[Hungry Joe]

I love these threads. Carry on.
