What more power do I need to subscribe to her? Just because the queen wasn't an obstacle to democracy does not mean that she lacked the power to be one. And if anyone tried to stop her? British Army would always be hers to step in and ensure she got her way. I wonder how many other...

It did seem like that's what you were saying when you said that in your mind a monarch was just a mascot for life, but that's not what the UK monarch is. Strawman, whatever, sure. If you don't think the monarch of the UK is only a mascot for life then my post is not for you, but that's the...

Wow, I wonder where they got those figures from. They certainly aren't reflective of the society I've grown up in. I do question where they're getting their figures from - is this an actual representation of the nation, or is it just a reflection of the percentage of society who lack the savvy...

In the UK or in some country that doesn't need to doff their cap to her?

lol It sure is.

I call bullshit. That tree resembles nothing like a spider web.

You think Andrew offered to watch the kids while the rest of them went to Balmoral? He's a nice guy like that.

English bank notes, aye. Mibbe we'll get a wee holiday too, that'd be nice. I'd blaze a fattie for the Queene if they gave me the day off for it, just in case any Government types are reading this.

This changes everything. Nah, just kiddin.

After years of enjoying the privilege of working with both Americans and Ukrainians I'd have to say here that Zelenskyy is showing considerably more Ukrainian traits than US ones. No offense at all meant to my American cousins, but there's a grit behind Ukrainians that I just don't see from...

Loads of oil spills near the top floor windows of most Russian hospitals, I hear.
