    Doesn't the queen have like all the power and all the politicans just suggest her shit?

    Like yeah, yeah, theoretically she'd be ousted if she ever disregarded any of it because britain is a free democracy but that's putting a lot of trust in the democracy of a country that, as noted, still has a fucking monarch as a head of state

    More fuel for the long-standing theory that people in the 21st century pick their politics mostly out of vague aesthetic identification. This case being representative of the new "TERF" identity, which hegemonic left-liberal culture vaguely codes as woman-positive but also right-wing and anglophilic, see the profile picture.

    Very cool imo. You need people like this, dumbasses who believe shit so absurd that they only have like 2 peers in a 100km radius. They'll never be relevant and you get to say "oh that guy down the street? Yeah he thinks Boris is the reincarnation of Amun Ra." to your friends when they come over.

    The British queen really rose above politics when she got the government to exempt her vast property holdings from taxation. She was also really being apolitical when she decided that brown people couldn't work for her in clerical positions.
