While losing a dog is always very sad, I was reassured to read that she still has three other dogs, including a corgi that she adopted on the death of its owner. So not really "her last corgi", although the last of her home-bred ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,085 Posted April 18, 2018 Given that she is a shape-shifting reptilian alien she probably only bred them for food anyway. So as it is the last one it must mean she no longer needs them as she is on her way out/back to her home planet. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,025 Posted April 19, 2018 Chuckled this morning as I watched the Commonwealth HOGM opening. Old Tezza did her toadying obsequious speech, little realising the thousand yard stare Her Majesty was giving her. After all, she's been totally embarrassed by holding the meeting in the country where we've locked up Commonwealth citizens, and some have lost their official documentation (driving licences, etc) and jobs as a result of the simple failure to exempt such citizens from the immigration rules Tezza introduced in the early 2010s. Redolent of the spat where Thatcher refused to impose sanctions on South Africa's apartheid regime (probably solely because of Mark Thatcher's business interests - Thatch really was a self serving biatch). Her Maj loves the Commonwealth. Once again the Tories have stamped all over it. Hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,025 Posted April 19, 2018 Just now, Ulitzer95 said: Hmmmmm Look just be honest. All at Westminster are at fault. They are all utter fools. However, the documentation wasn't needed for citizens in 2009/2010. Nobody lost their job, their driving licence, their home, their liberty, or their freedom to come and go from this country. It was Tezza's subsequent changing of the rules (2012/2014?) which brought Commonwealth citizens into the category of immigrants who needed checking up on which put them firmly in the firing line. By which time of course any help those documents could have given were gone. Tezza's policy was racist, pure and simple, and not only that but a money making scheme out of black people. Be honest, Tezza's smug rebuttal simply doesn't wash. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody here gives two fucks about the Commonwealth. It is an utterly archaic institution that should have been taken apart decades ago due to lack of interest. To be fair to all though, if the Commonwealth nations are that unhappy with the situation then they need to grow a pair and walk away instead of bleating on about how the UK still treats them like we own them, our colonies, etc etc etc, shite. If it is wrong then do something about it and stop fucking hiding behind the hackneyed old arguments and traditions that seem to indicate that they can do absolutely nothing about the situation. They can and they should. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathisallaround 21 Posted April 21, 2018 I just watched the birthday concert on BBC 1 despite some interesting choices of performers (Shaggy singing Mr Boombastic and Craig David singing 7 days!!) It was interesting to watch Queenie stumble on to the stage and back. I know she's 92 but appeared much more frail and heavily made up than before. Looking very worrying!

I mean she looked in her late 80s rather than early nineties. She didn't seem quite with it on stage though, just something off. Could just be concerned about Philip and distracted. Notice she didn't speak herself though, which is unusual! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't watch this one but at the Diamond Jubilee concert in 2012 she didn't speak, Prince Charles paid tribute and she just smiled on stage. Don't think she's the sort for a 'Thanks for coming to one's birthday bash, be sure to grab a goodie bag and a piece of cake on your way out...' 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
