The Queen And I - Anyone Seen It?

[ToraToraTora]

The main idea seems to be oh look the Queen lives in a council house when in reality it paints a pretty accurate picture of what would happen under Agent Cob.

I read the 1992 book, haven't seen this latest version.

in order for it to be an accurate picture, it would require labour to be campaigning on a republican platform. at this time neither Corbyn or his party are doing this, also at this time public opinion would not support a party that did advocate abolition. dismantling the monarchy would require much primary legislation and the drafting of a written constitution, both would take years. tony benn's 1991 commonwealth bill was debated on and off in parliament for nearly ten years, without it ever getting to a second reading.

If it's half as funny as the book, the film would certainly be worth watching. Ignore TTT's mini synopsis.

[Mamyalynne]

Agreed , the book was a laugh out loud read, she writes so well.

[ladybirder]

Agree, the book was hilarious.

[ToraToraTora]

that's the point mush, the socialists completely mis managed the country as usual. Abolishing the monarchy was just a vehicle to show us that.

[Old_Geezer]

Not seen it; but it's irresponsible for T³ to push for a Labour government until we've left the EU.

Can’t bear Samantha Bond. Switch over when she comes on anything

I've seen it and I thought it was really funny except I can't stand David Walliams.
