Alex 40 Posted December 20, 2021 Quote The Queen has cancelled her traditional Christmas in Sandringham in Norfolk, amid concerns about the rising levels of the Omicron variant. Instead she will stay in Windsor where she will be joined by members of the Royal Family. Buckingham Palace aides described it as a personal decision and "reflects a precautionary approach". COVID could well be a convenient excuse in this case, but the decision could well be due to HM The Queen's overall health. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59735413 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 40 Posted December 23, 2021 Quote The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will be with the Queen on Christmas Day, Clarence House has said. It comes after Buckingham Palace announced the Queen had cancelled spending Christmas at Sandringham, Norfolk, amid concerns about the rising levels of the Omicron variant. Instead, she will spend the day in Windsor, as she did last year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59769243 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until or rather unless there is electoral reform which in reality is a very very unlikely long shot then any voters who oppose the tories( or indeed oppose Labour when they are in power) needs to get smart , follow your example and embrace tactical voting. The humiliation of the Shropshire by election last week wouldn't have happened without it. There would be far fewer safe seats were the voters are taken for granted and that is good for all parties and the health of democracy in my humble opinion. But to get back on topic I am increasingly confident that the Queen is going to be healthy enough to have a great platinum jubilee celebration in the summer of next year. I don't see Prince Harry's book ruining the year because I think more people are losing interest and sympathy with the hypocritical whining busted flush of a grandson. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted December 24, 2021 Nicely timed release. The nationalists on the outskirts of my family tree were telling folk that Prince Charles was doing the speech this year. He was going it, they said, because the Queen was already dead and the government were trying to cover up that fact to prevent gatherings of grief stricken subjects. She is looking remarkably well for a dead woman in that picture, although I’m sure they will now be convinced it’s CGI. Stupid nationalist fucks. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
