amateur Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) All we need now is a new Oliver Cromwell to shake the rest of the B#####DS up, then move onto the Monarchy ! everything comes full circle ,just takes time Replace the Queen? With what? A Cromwellian dictator? (Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mugabe anyone?) An elected president? (anyone fancy George W Bush or Schwarzenegger for this?) The winner of a tv poll? ("Britain's got Queens" perhaps) No!, why fix what ain't broke. When Brown finally shuffles off, the new PM will need some impartial advice - which, allegedly, HM provides.

Baldrick Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 When Brown finally shuffles off, the new PM will need some impartial advice - which, allegedly, HM provides. I have read the memoirs of most of the Prime Ministers we've had over the last few decades, and all have been consistent in their adulation for the Queen's impartial advice. I'm not a fervent, jingoistic royalist, but I am confident in my reckoning that her experience is wide and deep enough to be able to comment on almost any matter of substance. Prince Philip's musings would be much more entertaining though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 what amazes me with the Queen and a few other royals is how many engagements they go to each year as part of their "job" the numbers are massive and make most working bods look like they don't know they're born. As said they do bring in a massive amount of investment to the country you just don't have to be too blinkered to the facts. Its easy to mock them but even charlie does a fair bit ok as he's related to prince philip he gets it wrong fairly often but the intention always seems good. Look at how his royal estates are run and you can see he is looking towards the future and trying to buck current farming trends etc to improve the environment etc. And more to the point most of them shoot and have a good understanding of how country life works which is one hell of a lot more than the government.
