[Closed] Thank you Ma'am

Dem lizards like big gunz.

It's touching that the only people who think the monarchy are really powerful are monarchists, conspiracy theorists and tourists.

Here is the same Lord Mayor of London with the Queen, that afternoon she claimed to not be tied to the establishment in her role as head of the child abuse inquiry:

Confusion is often rife on here, but I rarely succumb to it...

As an aside from the sniping and haters, this is a really lovely photo for any elderly couple:

Quite. They should be treated just like any other elderly couple too...

how many Heads of State can you name. Germany? Ireland? The only ones we know are the ones who have executive power like France or the US.

A match made in heaven?

British people can name their head of state?

British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealandian and about 29 others I can't remember ([url= http://www.financialsecrecyindex.com/faq/britishconnection ][b]many of which are the world's murkiest tax havens, deeply tied to the City of London[/b][/url]) all have the same head of state...

....& he's off and running

I have little time for Philip and find him to be an offensive old fart

However in order to consider him a Nazi one has to ignore the small fact that he fought against them in the war and convict him due to who his sister married.

A view so daft only JHJ will say it

thanks aracer and toys it works great

Good God man. German connections you say? This changes everything 🙄

Is that a bit like the logic that since Chemical Weapons were a reason given for the Invasion of Iraq, then they couldn't possibly have been supplied by the UK(and US)?

Quite apart from all that, I'd like to know more about the story of Anthony Blunt (along with Lord Mountbatten, Edward Heath and the head of MI6, linked to Kincora Abuse) and his trip to Kronberg Castle...

Yes its just like that both claims are untrue.

Really? Some of you really?

As for the Nazi BS it just goes to show JHJ has run out of steam on his usual rants or is just taking a new run at the ban hammer...

I do like that the internet has a conspiracy for everything that ever happens and that JHJ is happy to trawl through and find it for us.

I'm always left thinking that there must be one overarching conspiracy that's never seen the light of day and that the ones we know about are allowed to be out there to keep those interested happy whilst they live in ignorance of the real problem facing the world.

If I were a conspiracy theorist that thought would keep me awake at night.

My theory is that alien conspiracies are actually a government conspiracy to make us think they're really competent enough to hide the existence of aliens for over 50 years.

I feel I must correct a glaring omission to this thread.

Ahem.

In response to the title:

Wham! Bam!

Carry on.

thestabiliser fancies the quee-een!! the stabliser fancies the quee-een!!

I thought it was just GrahamS...

As an aside from the sniping and haters, this is a really lovely photo for any elderly couple:

(Conspiracy theorists aside,) I don't think many people hate them, just their position. I actually feel sorry for them; imagine being William and seeing the press attention that Kate receives, after what that did to his mother.

(Conspiracy theorists aside) Some might say that the poor daaah-lings are more than adequately compensated for any discomfort they suffer.

If he felt that bad about it he could, you know, abdicate and go get a proper job.

Every hole's a goal.

It does surprise me that Prince Phillip went to his sisters funeral though. Highly unusual.

Actually I do think she looks pretty fine in that photo of her younger self.

Proper posh scrumpet 😀

Steady on!!

So whats the actual point in posting the same stupid pic twice on one page? Did you not get the correct response first time. Nothing more sinister than kids running round dressed as cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians at the time. I bet if we pulled out pics of most people from that age something they were doing would look wrong today.

Not [i]that[/i] photo of her younger self JHJ 😀

Meanwhile, here's the England football squad respectfully performing nazi salutes during the German national anthem in a game against Germany in Berlin in 1938.

Funny how different things look with hindsight eh?

Makes you think though.

I don't think many people hate them, just their position

Again I have no time for the queen* but to portray her as a Nazi sympathisers is something only JHJ will find credible.

She is trapped in the role

She can abdicate but she was born in to the role and she had less choice in her own destiny than you or I do ;her role was pre ordained from birth [ ok a bit later in her case].

Trapped may be overstating it but you get the point.

I was assuming Junkyard couldn't see that little addition to his posts. 😆

To be fair, the Nazi salute does seem to have been quite prevalent...

She has the option to quit, like her Uncle, but she's been conditioned from an early age to think it's not really an option.

We have all been conditioned to lead a certain life from an early age, school -work -retire -die, most of us do so without the trappings of incredible wealth and choices available to the queen.

Maybe she's just trying to protect her son from having to do a job she knows he'll hate?

they did a file blocker thing and you can add a signature

they like the show of respect even if you dont

Well done JHJ you found Nazis and folk pretending to be Nazis in Nazi germany
thanks aracer and toys it works great and annoys wwaswas

school -work -retire -die

That's what we've had tattooed on our two

and just in case we haven't done enough thinking

With the talk of a Republic it's worth noting when the Australians had a vote it was conclusively in favour of retaining the Queen as head of state.

Republicans are most likely in the majority in Australia, but (IIRC) the vote was split because they couldn't agree on what to replace the monarch with.

Couldn't you just put 'DrP' like everyone else with a signature?

NO NO And NO
Jam said it was resounding and he will be back in a minute to tell us how right he was and still is.

Personally, I've nothing against the royals as individuals, but their time is well up.
