@georg Lassen,

Sorry, but that is the difference between ceremonial affairs defined on paper, and reality. And reality is the decisons are made by the government, and the queen approves them afterwards. She rteads what is beign given to her, and usually she is expected to not give even a hint of a comment or political bias of her own.

Don't take a stage actor for the character he plays. Its all big theatre today. Enjoyable theatre, and nobody plays especially this stage play like the British Royal theatre company does. Superb performance, great show. But its theatre nonetheless.

Good riddance? EU's 'Brexit fatigue' limits UK extension options

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain has just four weeks left as a member of the European Union. Or maybe not. Staying weeks, months, even years longer is the talk of London; but such ideas are getting a frosty hearing on the continent.

The Queen performs 'ceremonial' duties only, having relinquished any real power many years ago.

The one question I sometimes ponder over is should there ever be a revolution in the UK (fat chance of that of course) which side would the military take, Crown or Political?

I suspect Crown.

Two of Labour's most senior figures have clashed over how to handle anti-Semitism within the party.

General secretary Jennie Formby accused deputy leader Tom Watson of "completely unacceptable" behaviour for asking that complaints about anti-Semitism be forwarded to him for monitoring.

She said his approach would "undermine" and "pollute" existing party processes.

Mr Watson stood by his request, saying "opacity and delay" by the party had led to "a complete loss of trust".https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47425319

The cancer continues to spread within.

Errr in most part yes, she has over ruled the government round about five times on matters. This bit of info was from a radio show back end of last year and the guest was a expert on the Queen and Parliament.

The Queen can declare war, I suggest she goes ahead a declare war on Parliament as I'm sure our Army will back her after years of cut backs.

And here is the full story on Churchill.

https://www.ft.com/content/3d6bbabc-...9-1365ce54b926

Quote:

As Churchill urged a Franco-German partnership to lead his vision of a new Europe, he declared that Great Britain and the British Commonwealth, along with the US and USSR, should be “friends and sponsors” of the project. He did not talk of the UK becoming a member itself. “We are with Europe, but not of it,” he wrote in an earlier essay. “We are linked but not comprised.” That ambiguity has haunted Britain’s relationship with its continental neighbours ever since, culminating in the UK referendum vote on June 23 for Brexit.

Also, the founding time of post-war Europe was a very different time than it is today, the economic and especially the fincial precondtions could not be compared. The money was a different one than there is today, and I do not just talk about a currency's simple name. Continental self-sustaining corruption and ursurping of powers, mass-migration and global drowning in hopeless amounts of debts were not even imaginable.

It is highly questionably that Churchill would repeat his Zurich speech again in that exact manner like he delivered it in 46.And many deformations and perversions there are today in the EU policy forming and demand for power that also should not be taken for granted to have found his approval. He was no fool denying reality.

Catfish · 03-03-19, 05:50 AM

He said a lot of things contradicting each other.

What was alwas the guiding line, was called the english "destructive embracing" of Europe, and his successors tried to do their best

However now they are out of the game.
