The Queen

[anonymous-user]

I seem to be reading from a few different sources on social media that the Queen has died and it will be announced tomorrow.

Or is this a sick joke?

This appears to be the source of the rumour.

So basically a sick joke.

Seems to be happening all the time now. Some people have very sad lives.

Xmas Day Speech?

"Dear Subjects, this year I had a st time. The PM lied to me, my new daughter in law had a ranty at the papers, my fave son (bd that he is - yeah that one is true) was found out as a perv, and then, I died. Oh well, it was fun for a while. With any luck, next year it will be President Katie Price sitting here saying this bks. Ciao!"

Due to science and technology, the Queen will live to approximately 120 years of age, so this is bks.

Why do you think that?

I should think she'd be having stem cells up the wazoo

There's an image..

Oh, and Prince Charles will reach 140! Really advanced in technology then!

I think they're probably just injected in the arm

Not sure why this thread is so jokey?

Me too.
same age as my Mum who passed 7 years ago.
Can't explain it just like the woman

She's been good. A positive role model, to each and every one of us.

For real? Forcing her sister to give up the one decent bloke she knew? Presiding over a gaggle of entitled brats? Swanning about doing no work and slurping Dubonnet? What sort of role model message do inherited wealth and unearned status convey? Hey kids, wanna go about in a gold coach? Then get lucky: have a distant ancestor who was a successful armed gangster.

I always find it a bit odd when people say she's an inspiration or a role model. How exactly?

She is the supreme leader by divine right. She didn't choose it and despite the wealth I wouldn't really want the job. She does it well, but she has been raised to do it well since before birth.

Slight exaggeration surely

JuanCarlosFandango said:

With a clean sheet of paper a hereditary monarchy is an absolutely ludicrous way to appoint a leader but we don't have a clean sheet of paper and we won't get one by overthrowing the monarchy.

Not absolutely ludicrous. It removes uncertainty as to who is in charge so makes a fight over the question less likely.

Elizabeth was born in 1926, her father George became King in 1936, he should never have been King, but his elder brother Edward abdicated meaning the line of Monarch shifted to Elizabeth.

For the first 10 years of Elizabeth's life, she was not to be Queen. The same applies when she was a fetus.

If Uncle David hadn't abdicated, she would still have been queen but would have had to wait another twenty years.

Not if he got a new squeeze and pumped out a royal sprog.
