[News] The Queens speech .... Your reviews

[Questions]

Solid enough effort from the old girl.
Obvious weakened this year but some nice deflection to Landing on the Moon and The D Day Landings and then the religious Baby Jesus

6/10

You could tell her favourite grandson/family by the photo on her desk.

Missed it unfortunately, normally hang on every word of her maj. Did she give any explanation of why she let a corrupt, obese liar form a government ? and, did it leave a bitter taste in her mouth ?

No. Corbyn didn't get in. Didn't you follow the General Election.

I am sure some papers will pick up on this, even though it was obviously the order of succession that she had on display.

This may come as a surprise to you but she has no say in who forms a government, but I imagine she sighed in great relief when it became clear she’d be asking the corrupt obese liar. Hard to believe eh?

Strange times indeed.

I was slightly disappointed she wasn't wearing a golden star broach with her blue dress.

I got the impression she's a bit embarrassed by the state of the nation (her and at least 40m others)

Pretty obvious what she was alluding to, it won't make any difference. A lot of anger out there still.

80 years on people are still jingoistic about the Germans and the war . . . . Brexit division won't be going away time soon.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I bloody LOVE the Queen. What a magnificent woman and done her duties flawlessly for decades. A real Diamond

Isn’t that a first warning until the revised mod rules ?

 

[Live by the sea]

The Queen was classy as always. The rest of the royals much less so, William is ok.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Did she mention getting Andrew a Pizza Express gift card for Christmas? I heard it is his favourite chain restaurant and he always remembers every visit.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

No. Corbyn didn't get in. Didn't you follow the General Election.

When did Corbyn become obese?

 

[pastafarian]

Havnt watched it yet so can only give it 8/10

 

[Beach Hut]

God Bless her, wonderful Monarch

 

[Solid at the back]

Embarrassing. Abolish the monarchy

I assume she apologised to the people for falling for the advice of a proven liar and unlawfully proroguing Parliament on that advice ?

 

[pastafarian]

seems to have upset some people, still havnt seen it but im raising my initial 8/10 to 9/10 purely based on the fact some usual suspects are grrrrrrr angry

 

[Chicken Run]

Usual bitter pathetic’s turning yet another thread into political rants.

 

[Hastings gull]

Although politically I disagree with so much that the royal family represents, I find it absolutely impossible to have anything other than respect for the Queen.

I suppose this is why the royal family still survives as it is in the modern era. She seems to know it too. Would people tolerate Charles as their king in the same way? Not a chance.

A nice thought provoking speech. 7.5/10

Whatever one's persuasion, I think it is fair to say that the Queen over the years has earned huge respect, even if some of the younger generation royals have been a let-down.
