Can't believe seem to believe some people are criticising for showing a lack of empathy in that visit. She has a 92 year old woman who undoubtedly would've struggled with those visits, the fact she did them rather than sent Charles or William is a testament to her ability in her role - one she never really had any choice in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not quite right. Prince Charles told them she had died when they woke up that morning. It's not difficult to understand why they wanted to protect the boys from the wall-to-wall media coverage. Common sense. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,941 Posted June 8, 2017 Could this be the final time a PM goes to see the Queen after an election? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,486 Posted June 8, 2017 2 hours ago, Deathray said: Could this be the final time a PM goes to see the Queen after an election? Given the likely landslide, the Queen will be hoping not. From Wiki, via Andrew Neil's book: Quote ""The Queen was reportedly worried that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's economic policies fostered social divisions, and was alarmed by high unemployment, a series of riots, the violence of a miners strike, and Thatcher's refusal to appy sanctions against the apartheid regime in South Africa. Thatcher said the Queen would vote for the Social Democratic Party." Likes Dr Who, didn't like Thatcher. I can live with that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you'll figure it out though. Also bear in mind that it's inappropriate to use a "chanting priest with a cross on his hat emoticon" for celebrities that are either Jewish/Muslim/Zoroastrian/... or non-observant. And only use the "burning in hell" emoticon for paedophiles or mass murderers. And while at it, forget about these silly rules and use whatever you like and have fun. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
