Disrespecting the Royal Family?
Discussion
First of all, I have nothing against the Royal Family and actually quite like them, however I was pondering the following.
What would happen if a person (of ill repute) decided to be disrespectful to a senior member of the Royal Family, lets say Charles or Queenie. For example, the Queen is doing her meet and greet and the person really launches into a tirade of abuse.
Would they be arrested? Locked in the tower?
Also, what about a minor incident such as refusing to shake her hand or turning your back on her?
Anyway, just wondered...

I suspect Brenda would deal with it far better than most of her aides. She would move on, forget about it and be pleasant and polite to the next person in line.
I am in no way a royalist, but I do think she in particular has enough sense not to get into a spat. Philip, on the other hand, would probably chin the offender.

Not really on the same lines as such, but it always pisses me off seeing our National Football Team standing while the National Anthem is playing before the match, and yet barely half of them seem to know the words and the other half either don't or can't be arsed to sing. Winds me up every time!

Its because our national anthem is rubbish.National anthems should be about murdering foreigners, not deifying an owd biddy.

I'm Scottish and it makes my piss boil that England use God Save The Queen as an anthem - that's the British anthem, not the English one.

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King.
But let's not forget that 19th century scholars believe the source of the tune was a sweaty socks' carol, 'Remember O Thou Man'.

My dad said just after the war, sometimes, if someone didn't stand up in the cinema after the film for the national anthem they were given a "pasting" outside down a dark alley.
May be bks, but that's what he once told me.
