Hers is a largely ceremonial role and she plays no part IN government. She is above politics and cannot change or influence the actions of the government.
Yes I know how the system works. But it is a system she heads-up, albeit ceremonially. So I was confused as to why you took issue with someone pointing out something factually correct. |

I bet she purred longer and louder when the clown was forced to resign after the EU referendum...and I say that as someone who voted FOR Scottish Independence.
Serves him right for being a complete clown and being so utterly clueless and indiscreet. Wasn't fit to clean out the cat's litter tray, let alone run the country. Those are my thoughts - not necessarily those of the Queen, by the way! ![]() He's her fifth cousin twice removed or second cousin five times removed or something like that. They are related |

Have you really? Because I haven't. Most of the Queen's reported views have come from third parties who blabbed to others and then ultimately the press.

I don't envy her either. Abolishing the monarchy would mean we never had to inflict that life on anyone ever again.
Is it my imagination or does William not look and sound all that keen about his fate? |

Indeed a point I made a few pages back. It should not be acceptable to as good as ordain the lives of unborn children in this way.

There are lots of things if we were starting from scratch we'd probably do differently like making time decimal. But there'd be little reward for the effort. Similar with the monarchy. I get it's outdated and archaic and all the rest of it, but I can't see the point in bothering to change it.

There is no point in accusing her of "heading up" anything over which she has no control or influence. |
