In the Soviet Union there was a massive queue to see Lenin's body after he died. In fact the reason his body ended up the way it did was an accident - people just kept coming and the committee in charge of his funeral decided it would be better to establish the mausoleum than to start turning people away.
Anyway I'm hoping that's what ends up happening to Elizabeth, because it would be very funny.
My English co-worker showed me this queue with pride today and was explaining to me, how the Queen is just a cool referee and has no powers whatsoever.
I told her I don't believe that, and sent her the Guardian article showing how the Royals have manipulated various laws, through a very opaque "vetting" process, so they could financially benefit.
She sends me back "YES! She is just a referee!" and quotes the dictionary entry for "vetting" to me...Jesus fucking Christ...
"Yes these billionaires who own vast amounts of land and have every political leader in the world on speed dial and have centuries of accumulated clout have no power or influence what so ever!" :funny-clown-hammer:

Amazing how 100 years later it's the English acting like fuedal peasants

When I say I'm pro-consent, I'm not talking about Crown Consent.
the worst rap lyric ever
It wasn't, until you perceived it as one.
