Congratulations to her for becoming the longest migrant that has managed to scrounge our benefits......it'll take some going to beat her.

Your revealing ignorance yet again, she is not a migrant, her ancestors have lived here probably longer than yours, as for scrounging our benefits, the income from Crown lands of Lancasire which have been in the hand of the monachy since the 1300's which go to the goverment, far outweigh her cost to the country.

She is of far greater value to this country than the dipstick with his perverse obsession for the sexual abuse of children

But I've prehistoric ancestors buried under Accy Stanley football club that use to hunt dinosaurs

I know she adds to our economy (and served during the war ) and as much as I prefer her to having a scameron&co as president etc,taking money from the civil list (when your a multimillionaire(ess) is scrounging taxpayers hard earned brass.

Who are you trying to kid?

[Margaret Pilkington]

So you don't mind the money that is being taken from your pocket by greedy self serving MP's but you do no like the queen taking what is her due from the privy purse.
This is an 89 year old lady who continues to work for this country. She could have put her feet up years ago and handed the crown to her (loony) son Charles....but she vowed to serve the people of this country for all of her life. That is what she is doing.
If you cannot say anything positive, then perhaps you should say nothing, rather than making yourself sound ridiculous.....and back pedalling again(you'd rather have her than scameron is what you said)

[Accyexplorer]

Your trying to put words into my mouth M,you know I despise MP's (nearly as much as I despiae the royals).Could we not have a ceremonial President like Germany

[Margaret Pilkington]

No I am not trying to do anything of the sort.
A ceremonial President would still need to be paid, would claim expenses, would still be corruptible and would not bring in the same revenue as the queen does(in tourism).
If you value your history, and the history of the country so poorly then I feel very sad for you.
The Queen has, and is doing a sterling job.
I would rather have her on the throne than her son, Charlie boy....So long may she reign!(I hope she lives to be 110)

Why do you despise the Queen ?

At least you can do so without being in fear of being carted off to the Tower to await beheading .

It is not generally known that the queen and philip have been charged with complicity in the disappearance of some canadian orphans - case referred to-
International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS)

The only surviving witness to the event has died unexpectedly shortly before he was due to give evidence.
The following links are just two mentions of this on the web - there are more.

Philip is said to have had several affairs, including the queens cousin Alexandra of Kent.

I do not care whether the allegations are true or lies.
I just choose not to automatically assume they are not true.

Many people, me included choose not to believe everything reported is true, I am no royalist by any stretch, but i fail to see the the point of highlighting allegations of Phillips affairs, have anything at all to do with the Queens long reign.

But , Margaret , do you choose , as far as you are able , to check their accuracy before posting them on a forum ?

[Accyexplorer]

I don't despise the lady that is Liz (though I am envious of her dentition ),it's more I fail to see how the royals can are justified in modern Britain.
She doesn't need the money she gets from the public purse so why dip into it when there's so much poverty amongst her people?

When I ask myself does she really care about 'her people',I always come to the same conclusion and that is she doesn't give a flying about the people....


....Without mentioning tourism,feel free to try and explain why their needed/justified I may change I view on them

[Margaret Pilkington]

It does not matter what anyone says....you would not be convinced.
Why do you think she does not care about the people?
Do you think those who are voted into power give a flying whatever? Of course they don t the only thing that figures in their outlook is money, position and making sure they are in a better position than us. They care nothing at all for you and me.
The Queen has been a tireless worker for this country for the whole of her life..She has gone to countries and promoted Britain, everything about Britain.
If you cannot work out how the Royal family benefits this country by yourself then you are nowhere near as smart as you think you are

[Rowlf]

Well said Margaret. The Crown has a stabilising effect on things while the politicians come and go while grabbing all they can along the way. Every country has to have a Head of State .Our monarchy system may not be without flaws but it is infinitely better than having a President who I have no doubt would cost far more than a Monarch.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, you are right. Spot on Rowlf.
