Is The Queen A 'stoopid' Swivel Eyed Looney?

[youngmafbog]

Now I am no Royalist but I do understand the Queen is in a real good position to get a grasp of many things as She can see and hear things I dont have the opportunity to.

jno; "Leader"; 'One who is in charge or in command of others. One who heads a political party or organization. One who has influence or power, especially of a political nature.'

The Queen (whom God preserve) is none of these.

[jno]

she's not head of state at all?

[hereIam]

My opinion is that she is entitled to her opinion and good for her !

[youngmafbog]

jno are you at all familiar with UK Constitution?

[mikey4444]

YMB....Britain doesn't have one codified Constitution :::::

[youngmafbog]

No, but it stil has one just as we have common law. It is because we are an old Nation that never had a proper civil war to draw one up and write it.

[paddywak]

So the events that ocurred between 1642-51 were just a familly arguement?

[mikey4444]

paddy....please don't...laughing too much just sets my cough going !

[paddywak]

Sorry mikey,but it amused me that we've never had a "proper" civil war just a series of battles that left about 80-85,000 men dead in battle and probably as many dead from related related disease and illness.Thats not counting the execution of a king and the setting up of a totally new form of government,still it wasn't really a civil war was it,

[mikey4444]

Paddy....its been a very long time since I was in school but history was one of my special subjects and I seem to recall that the period in question was indeed referred to as the "English Civil War"

Even that wasn't terribly accurate as it affected Wales quite considerably as well as England.

It had a significant effect on our future British history though....beheading a crowned Monarch was a pretty big affair back then....something we haven't seen again since.

I have always maintained that a full civil war will never happen in a country like ours, as it did France, Russia and other places. Regicide is a nasty thing, after all.

Anyway, our customs would prevent a full-scale civil war from ever being successful....we would always be breaking for Tea, or to dress for dinner, or something similar.

One of my favourite Noel Coward quotes, ::::

“Wouldn't it be dreadful to live in a country where they didn't have Tea?”

Our very Britishness has saved us from all that undignified rioting in the street, and all those tiresome barricades !

I'm sure I once read that the King fought the Parliamentarians, the Parliamentarians fought the Irish and the Irish fought the King. Whilst the Scots fought everyone. (^_*)

[mikey4444]

Togo...probably true, and the bloody Welsh hated them all !

"Wants her country back"

Badoom tsch.

[jno]

ymb, you don't recall her sacking a government?

[Ellipsis]

Hmm, tell me, does HM prefer Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, UKIP or SNP? And would this make a difference to how you voted, or what you thought of her, if you knew?

[hereIam]

^ No !

[Ellipsis]

Well there you go. The OP exhibits a few logical fallacies. It starts off telling us they are no Royalist, but then uses an appeal to that Royal authority's alleged opinion to back their position. Presumably if the Queen held the opposite alleged opinion then her opinion would count for little ...

Perhaps Prince William, unlike his 90 year old grandmother, is a Remainer. Would that make a difference? Not to me. The Royals are hardly representative of the people. The unelected (or hardly elected) European superstate takes power from their unelected Monarchy, so they have a bit of a vested interest in the question ...

//The unelected (or hardly elected) European superstate takes power from their unelected Monarchy, so they have a bit of a vested interest in the question ...//
and British Governments have taken all executive power from the monarchy, so their loss isn't one of personal power, and their views, like yours or mine, are based on preference, i.e. whether Britain is ruled from within or from without.
