Must be feeling the heat a bit after the Panama Papers mind, what with presiding over more tax havens than anyone else on Earth
....and the hollowed out core of the Moon with the rest of our Lizard overlords. Makes you think.
Yay, whooo. The Queen. Whoo. Yay.
Of course she is privy to intelligence information.
How else is she supposed to run the worldwide Masonic Catholic Satanist Police Psychopath Black-Ops Paedophile Network?

^^ Is that a tea towel?
At least the House captured the mood of the nation!
Meh They're big tax dodgers and subsidy junkies Don't know why they're not on Benefit Street, maybe the tv company didn't offer enough money
Predictable thread is predictable!

Correction: Big Phil runs all that shizzle.
STW Bingo!

It is only now that I have appreciated that the reign of Henry VIII was the most successful disinformation operation of all time.
I'm fairly ambivalent about the royalty, but she's doing well for 180. (-:
90 years old and still the head of state, most 90 year olds I've known can't be trusted with the TV remote.
over 200 bedrooms in Buck Palace
and yet the number of people sleeping rough in London has doubled to over 7500 in the last 5 years
something not right there
Well I didn't vote for her...

Fantastic idea. And what do you propose to do with the other 7300?
If I were homeless in London, first thing I'd do is use my begging money to buy a compass and then start walking North. Why on Earth would you stay in the most expensive place in the country when you'd no money? Never understood that.
Aren't they camping out with Yvetter Cooper and Nicola Sturgeon - or were their offers only for refugees?
Oh, one o'clock news for some more celebration.... 😉
Now remind me, is she actually a lizard in disguise or just a host for a lizard?
The other 7300? Requisition other unoccupied properties.
London is about the warmest driest place to be in the UK. Lots of cover, pretty safe, people rich enough to give to beggars, soup kitchens, Red Cross. If I had to be down and out anywhere in the UK it would definitely be London. The worst place to be down and out would have to be a cold wet small northern provincial town on the west side of the Pennines with Torries running it and Hot Fuzz policing it.

isn’t it obvious? 😯
you are better off begging somewhere with high disposable income and a large footfall of people than a poor northern town with a failed industry and high jobless numbers or a seaside town full of doss houses and addicts.

Not been in Manchester city centre recently then?
This is what the aproach to Piccadilly station looks like at the moment. There are now these little villages of tents all over the city centre.

Doesn't change the fact that the queen has hundreds of spare rooms in her multiple residences, and lots of gold plated carriages, n stuff, I suppose
I find the forelock tugging fawning of the British people to the royals really embarrassing. Even worse than watching Wimbledon. WTF does it say about us as a nation? That we're a bunch of ****ing spineless, subservient serfs, and thats a state of affairs we're apparently happy with

And I thought the Norverns were s'posed to be friendlier than those awful Laanderners? 😕
Got to hand it to binners, spot on
Servility always makes my skin crawl - what on earth is wrong with people?

True, but that's due more to the twunt ib City Hall than the one in Buck House.
When you rehouse 200 homeless in Buck House, where are you going to rehouse the people who sleep in those bedrooms?
Balmoral.
TBH I'm against the monarchy but a) she's been a pretty good monarch and b) she's kept out an obviously shite one. And she totally gets the privilege/duty thing, which goes a long way with me (the actual balance of it is completely screwed but that's not actually her fault...)
Her son on the other hand I'd like to see in the jobcentre tomorrow 😆
She didn't send me a card for my 40th, so i'm not sending her one

Isn't that the whole point?
She's been a benign presence for most people's lifetimes. But the people who sit on the throne over the next 60 years may not be quite so benign or harmless.
It's worth remembering that the monarchy has rarely, possibly never been as popular as they are currently - even Victoria had attempts on her life.
I dont think William fancies the gig, its all just a bit silly now even to them.
She's been a benign presence for most people's lifetimes.
Overtly benign. Who knows how much she's meddled behind the scenes? We'll never know, because the royals are exempt from FoI. Then there's the £300M they cost every year, that's not benign - and that doesn't even include the security costs, the lavish banquets, the state events where everyone gets to wave a flag as she trundles past.

Yes, probably what I meant.

Jivehoneyjive ?
How many armies does she have?
One for each sleevie?

That rather depends who you listen to.
The "Republic" pressure group said that Royals cost ~£334m a year, which I guess is where you got your figure (though that includes security):
"Republic says the amount is eight times the official figure – because of the cost of security, councils' expenses for royal visits and lost income to the Treasury from the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall."

Meanwhile others say:
The annual report states that the monarchy costs the UK approximately £35.7 million. That works out at about 56p per person, per year for the taxpayer.
..
The revenue paid to the UK from the Crown Estate is at a record £285 million. So, take away the Queen's £35.7 million, and the UK is left with £249 million. So, because of the royal family, your taxes are actually about £3.80 cheaper per year than they would be if the Queen did not rule.The £249 million doesn't even include the money that tourism brings in, which is estimated at £500 million.

That's a point actually. If she lives another ten years does she get a card from herself?

I'm being stupid here, but why would they need any of our money if that was true?
she's been a pretty good monarch
How are you measuring that? Seems to me the main metric seems to be the fact that she hasn't died yet. Or is it the number of state dinners she's hosted or hospitals she's visited? Or maybe the fact that she's gone 60 years without the royal family's support for the nazis ever becoming a major issue?

Let's put aside all the keyboard warriors and look at the tens if not hundreds of thousands of people who will take the trouble to get out there and celebrate the occasion.
Ooh dragging that picture up again. Here's the England football team doing the same thing in 1938.

and what makes it worse is historical civil unrest used to bring about change. now people are more interested in borrowing money for nob cars to show off to their mates or which celeb is shagging some other celeb instead of empowerment/equality/exposing the secrecy and agenda of the ruling elite which would have a huge effect on their lives. much more than the leather seat option, going from 26 to 29 or 4 to 6plus.

That's a good point - what's wrong with these people? why are they so pathetically servile?

Same reason they vote for a bunch of nobbers from Eton - they think they are in Downton Abbey. That's the sort of depressing thing - if you get rid of the Windsor family as head of state, you may end up with someone elected by X Factor viewers.
