Michelle Obama puts her arm around the Queen.. shock horror...

[Denisec4502]

Whats is the big deal with the Mrs. Obama affectionately putting her arm around the Queen...? all these Protocol Pra*ts should get with the real, modern World... There are more important things going on in the World as we speak surely...

[NoMercy]

I bet one was not amused

[rinkins]

But one also had her arm around Mrs. Obama...

[McMouse]

Much better than having Gordon Brown's hand in your pocket.

[Bbbananas]

or cherie blair's hands down your trousers. Yuck.

[Octavius]

or Richard Timney's on a box of tissues.

I would like to know what the Queen carries in that bloody handbag - I bet its a stun gun in case Phillips gets out of hand !!!!


Did you notice when the Obamas arrived at No.10 the other day, Gordon had a black policeman on duty outside.

[funnygirl]

So what!

[Octavius]

Really?

I mean't there always seems to be a white policeman outside No.10 - but when Obama arrived he is photographed shaking the black policeman's hand - I suppose it was good press. That's all.

I was merely making an observation. Nothing more, nothing less !!

Unfortunately on AB some people are allowed to make comments and others not.!!!!

[ethandron]

as i understand it, the queen put her arm around mrs. obama first, and then mrs. o reciprocated. no shock, no horror, just a little gesture of friendship.

[paraffin]

So what's wrong with a group hug?

Didn't you notice Philip hugging that waitress in the background?

[Octavius]

But its not an observation, just a fabrication.

That was the first picture I saw - the article made it out to be Obamas first visit to No. 10 - I was'nt suggesting he had a team of black policeman purely for when Obama was visiting.

Stop reading into something which isn't there - you silly woman !

[Octavius]

That my friend is the funniest thing I have read for some time.

[monkeyeyes]

Eh ?

The Police Officer directly outside the door of No. 10, wearing a traditional pointy policemans helmet, WAS black and he shook Obama's hand..............however, when he extended his hand to GB, he was embarassingly snubbed..........

I can't find a link but I am certain I saw it...........

[funnygirl]

I have seen numerous black cops outside no 10.

I don't think they wheeled out a black cop specially for this ocassion!

How do you know if the black cop did not volunteer as he may have wanted to meet Obama??

[no-knowledge]

ffs am i the only one who heard Prince pill0cks racist Chinese remark ????

[Octavius]

Yes, you are right Monkey and I was playing DA. I just wondered why it was worth a mention, since black officers from the DPG have been present outside No.10 for many years.

[Octavius]

ko-no....

Mr Obama said: �I had breakfast with the Prime Minister, meetings with the Chinese, the Russians, David Cameron...�

Prince Philip replied: �Can you tell the difference between them?"

Is that what you mean?

[monkeyeyes]

Phew !
That's a relief, Octavius..............but I agree that it ought to be beyond comment in this day and age.

No-know...........you certainly seem to be one of the few who are outraged about it..............DTH ?
