I'm sorry, but the Queen of England is a b*tch.

[UrbScotty]

I say that because Charles is her son, and he's a son of a b*tch.

:evilgrin:

1. I like the Queen.

She seems like a nice lady. I have no anamosity towards the Royal Family whatsoever.

Just to put things in perspective....The President is the head of state in the United States. The Queen is the head of state in the British Commonwealth. Who would YOU rather have as a head of state? :-)

[UrbScotty]

2. The Queen, of course - if she actually DID ANYTHING

Tony Blair and his minions do all the work.

3. She represents Britain and the Commonwealth.

The Queen (or the King) is the head of government. Yes, Blair runs the country, but he is answerable to the Queen.

If I were British, I would be in favor of the monarchy. There is a public role fot the Royal Family. But that's up to the British people to ultimately decide.

4. What the Queen does with the British Government is largely ceremonial.

Opening sessions of Parliament, dissolving Parliament when the PM asks, etc.

But no, she is not really head of government, just head of state.

Either way, she's still a b*tch. }(

5. Very unchristian language coming from you, but

I don't like Charles at all. However, wouldn't call the Queen a bitch. Not as annoying as Charles... Why do you call her that?
