[Closed] Happy Birthday Ma'am

Get up off your knees serf!

The sooner we take the French approach to royalty, the better....

Quicker than expected !!! 😉

(I hope I am that fit at 90)

If you can guarantee a stress-free existence with the absolute best of everything and an army of attendants seeing to your every need at the tax payers expense then you will increase your chances immeasurably.

Has she brought cakes in?

Though not an absolute pre-req as my 95 yr old neighbour living in a council house just round the corner from me proves!

Has she brought cakes in?

As long as there not bloody cupcakes...!

I understand the tax burden argument and have no idea if the following is true, but I'd imagine that every penny spent is earned back multiple times over in tourist/media revenue. Not to mention the vast sums raised for charity by the royal family. If nothing else, they serve as a living Tussauds type cash cow.
I'm hardly pro Royal, but I think calling for their heads is a little far fetched.

Regardless of treatment, the old bird is doing incredibly well for 90.

Happy Birthday to all, especially public servants like Mrs Saxo-Coburg-Gotha. ( or whatever)

Enough of this royal wheeze now though and no we are going to fight for you and stuff.

My kids are going to school in red, white and blue today to celebrate the queens birthday. They were well excited about it. So for that reason, Happy Birthday Ma'am!

Hippo Birdies, Two Ewes.

Not those Duchy Originals, pass me a fig roll please

when they are no longer useful to our cause, we take them to Paris and murder them?

I thought we already did that?

Happy Birthday Ma'am ....you're a Star!

And Binners, good effort Sir, like the slippers.

Apparently she is grooming her son to succeed her, with the support of senior state clerics.

Yes, well done. You've done a fantastic job.

Not a Royalist, but you can't deny Liz has put one hell of a shift in.

Remarkable individual.

Vive la République !

90 and still working. She must have the same pension plan I do.

(I hope I am that fit at 90)

All the more remarkable for an inbred. Gawd bless 'er

90 and still working. She must have the same pension plan I do.

Could be. Did you get your job via a hereditary process? Or did you have to demonstrate aptitude at some point?

She must have the same pension plan I do

I am not sure what she has done is a job - its more a sycophantic fawning lifestyle

Interesting to see those who are sucked in by her "majesty".

Your choice.

90 and still working.

Working. Yeah, right. Working.

If she's got all this money, why doesn't she spend of it on worthy causes? why sit on a vast fortune? many people are suffering every day, many desperate and homeless in the world, if you care about the people then show it.

did you have to demonstrate aptitude at some point?

Not so far - no. 😀

Edukator - some photo!!!

As every PM who has served her notes, she hardly works at all....no really. : wink:

Love the H8!!!!!

Quick spin round swinley, back to Windsor for a bit of cake and a glass of chilled retsina with good old Phil. What a day ahead....

Working. Yeah, right. Working.

Forelock tuggers be tuggin'.

Love the H8!!!!!

Best wishes. Exceptional Monarch

Wasn't She and Uncle Phil off [url= http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/in-pictures-the-queen-visits-windsor-delivery-office-on-the-eve-of-her-90th-birthday-a3229731.html ]visiting a Royal Mail delivery office yesterday[/url]?

Okay it may not be the back-breaking manual labour we all have planned for our 90s, but it is still a day on her feet, flirting with postal workers, and trying to fake an interested smile for hours on end as people show you some stamps.

Such obsequiousness!

Binners has nailed it .

We need to get shot of these parasites once and for all .

Vive La Republique !!

There is an outside chance our esteemed Monarch and Defender of the Faith will survive longer than the Guardian.

I wonder if she can tell me what happened to my Amazon order.

Just to be clear, by overwhelmingly jambalaya means 54.87% in favour.

It would have been if they had won 😉

Not sure about the Union Jack bunting all around the blue trail at Swinley - as nice as it is that the Crown Estate allows us to ride there for free, this might be going too far, birthday or no birthday.

Interesting that the Queen is involved in weekly meetings of the Joint Intelligence Committee, [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Relationship ]which also attended by the Local head of the CIA[/url]:

This agreement brought together the SIGINT organizations of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and is still in place today (see: Five Eyes). The head of the CIA station in London attends each weekly meeting of the British Joint Intelligence Committee

Makes you wonder on whose behalf Special Branch and the intelligence services were keeping files on Prominent people abusing children, then intervening in police investigations... why was it Jimmy Savile was so well protected?

[img] [/img]

Aside from that, imagine all the secrets she has tucked away from her myriad dominions...

Being as she is head of state of many various countries and territories, how many other leaders is she in regular contact with?

[img] [/img]

Must be feeling the heat a bit after the Panama Papers mind, what with presiding over more tax havens than anyone else on Earth

....and the hollowed out core of the Moon with the rest of our Lizard overlords. Makes you think.

Yay, whooo. The Queen. Whoo. Yay.

Of course she is privy to intelligence information.

How else is she supposed to run the worldwide Masonic Catholic Satanist Police Psychopath Black-Ops Paedophile Network?

I find this chart helps me to understand it more clearly:

^^ Is that a tea towel?

At least the House captured the mood of the nation!

Meh They're big tax dodgers and subsidy junkies Don't know why they're not on Benefit Street, maybe the tv company didn't offer enough money

Predictable thread is predictable!

😆

Correction: Big Phil runs all that shizzle.

STW Bingo!

It is only now that I have appreciated that the reign of Henry VIII was the most successful disinformation operation of all time.

I'm fairly ambivalent about the royalty, but she's doing well for 180. (-:

90 years old and still the head of state, most 90 year olds I've known can't be trusted with the TV remote.

over 200 bedrooms in Buck Palace

and yet the number of people sleeping rough in London has doubled to over 7500 in the last 5 years

something not right there

Well I didn't vote for her...

over 200 bedrooms in Buck Palace

Fantastic idea. And what do you propose to do with the other 7300?

If I were homeless in London, first thing I'd do is use my begging money to buy a compass and then start walking North. Why on Earth would you stay in the most expensive place in the country when you'd no money? Never understood that.

Aren't they camping out with Yvetter Cooper and Nicola Sturgeon - or were their offers only for refugees?

Oh, one o'clock news for some more celebration.... 😉

Now remind me, is she actually a lizard in disguise or just a host for a lizard?

The other 7300? Requisition other unoccupied properties.

London is about the warmest driest place to be in the UK. Lots of cover, pretty safe, people rich enough to give to beggars, soup kitchens, Red Cross. If I had to be down and out anywhere in the UK it would definitely be London. The worst place to be down and out would have to be a cold wet small northern provincial town on the west side of the Pennines with Torries running it and Hot Fuzz policing it.

Why on Earth would you stay in the most expensive place in the country when you'd no money? Never understood that.

isn’t it obvious? 😯
you are better off begging somewhere with high disposable income and a large footfall of people than a poor northern town with a failed industry and high jobless numbers or a seaside town full of doss houses and addicts.

If I were homeless in London, first thing I'd do is use my begging money to buy a compass and then start walking North.

Not been in Manchester city centre recently then?

This is what the aproach to Piccadilly station looks like at the moment. There are now these little villages of tents all over the city centre.

Doesn't change the fact that the queen has hundreds of spare rooms in her multiple residences, and lots of gold plated carriages, n stuff, I suppose

I find the forelock tugging fawning of the British people to the royals really embarrassing. Even worse than watching Wimbledon. WTF does it say about us as a nation? That we're a bunch of ****ing spineless, subservient serfs, and thats a state of affairs we're apparently happy with

[i]The worst place to be down and out would have to be a cold wet small northern provincial town on the west side of the Pennines with Torries running it and Hot Fuzz policing it[/i]

And I thought the Norverns were s'posed to be friendlier than those awful Laanderners? 😕

Got to hand it to binners, spot on

Servility always makes my skin crawl - what on earth is wrong with people?

True, but that's due more to the twunt ib City Hall than the one in Buck House.

When you rehouse 200 homeless in Buck House, where are you going to rehouse the people who sleep in those bedrooms?

Balmoral.

TBH I'm against the monarchy but a) she's been a pretty good monarch and b) she's kept out an obviously shite one. And she totally gets the privilege/duty thing, which goes a long way with me (the actual balance of it is completely screwed but that's not actually her fault...)

Her son on the other hand I'd like to see in the jobcentre tomorrow 😆

She didn't send me a card for my 40th, so i'm not sending her one

Isn't that the whole point?

She's been a benign presence for most people's lifetimes. But the people who sit on the throne over the next 60 years may not be quite so benign or harmless.

It's worth remembering that the monarchy has rarely, possibly never been as popular as they are currently - even Victoria had attempts on her life.

I dont think William fancies the gig, its all just a bit silly now even to them.

She's been a benign presence for most people's lifetimes.

Overtly benign. Who knows how much she's meddled behind the scenes? We'll never know, because the royals are exempt from FoI. Then there's the £300M they cost every year, that's not benign - and that doesn't even include the security costs, the lavish banquets, the state events where everyone gets to wave a flag as she trundles past.

Yes, probably what I meant.

How many armies does she have?
