I was sick when they started to sing that. I was sitting with 3 scousers, all Liverpool fans who are against the Royal Family. They were all pissing themselves laughing, ‘we booed their anthem yesterday and now they’re singing ours’
Thanks for tweaking my old memory. I'd forgotten that Irish Gealic differs slightly from Scottish. But, apart from English I did think that there MIGHT have been four others and Cornish, a language I dont ever recall hearing as spoken word was all I could think of.
Miss mordaunt even got praise from two, at least, of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition Members -- Labour frontbencher Emily Thornberry said: “Got to say it, Penny Mordaunt looks damn fine! The sword bearer steals the show.” Senior Labour MP Chris Bryant added: “The Penny is mightier than the sword.” (And I wish I'd thought of that pun)
Till now, I've aleays had a lot of time for Liverpool Fans. But booing The National Anthem and singing an insulting chorus to The King is an insult to us all. And the fact that Liverpool has gone way down in my estimation will not bother them one iota. But, praise where it's due. When MotD showed the N/C game, and their reaction to our Anthem,our Friends to the North put on a brilliant, enthusiastic performace. WELL DONE THOSE NEWCASTLE FANS.
why presume i do not understand 'constitutional monarchy'? it is simply what i (and probably others would like to see), the monarch simply showing that the thoughts of the people should be followed...it would be nice to think that someone with a bit of sway is looking after us all. it may well be they are more than happy with things as they are or more probably do not want to 'rock the boat' but as things stand now with this current collection of buffoons, being able to see that there is less chance of it occuring again would be welcome.
While we have a, broadly, unwriten Constitution, there are some firm and binding rules that are well understood by Monarch and Parliament. One is that The Monarch MUST be above Politics. The Crown MUST be politicaly neutral, at least publicly. The Goverment of The Day, must keep The Crown advised of its policies. The Crown may advise The Goverment, but such advice is in no way binding. There are idications, over the years, of Monarchs doing just what you ask, with mixed results. George V was told by his Liberal PM to create enough Peers to get the budget through the upper house. George thought that this was a bad idea, but after more 'discusion', did as he was told. George V1 advised Churchill not to apoint someone to his cabinet. WSC ignored him. Queen Elizabeth has, it seems, a very serious falling out with Margret Thatcher over her support for South Africa. HM had to back off. No doubt there are many other instances that I don't know about. In THEORY, there are people to do what you want -simply showing that the thoughts of the people should be followed...it would be nice to think that someone with a bit of sway is looking after us all. They are called MP's. But as we saw in Sunderland, after the Brexit Referenda they can turn a deaf ear when they feel like it.
That sword apparently weighs 8lb. I set a dumbbell at that to try it. Just 5 minutes and you feel the wrists , pull on shoulders and neck , and that’s without most of the weight being above hand grip level . Good core excercise as well . She held it for over 50 minutes I believe. Great effort Penny .
Bridgerton's Adjoa Andoh called it a 'terribly white' Coronation balcony please log in to view this image Stupidly racist actress, Adjoa Andoh, has caused controversy by labelling the Royal family, posing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, as a 'terribly white balcony' I'm not sure what she expected to see from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, some Minstrels perhaps, Martin Luther King, or perhaps Oprah Winfrey ? What would happen if I referred to her as being 'terribly black' ? "We have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey to a terribly white balcony," "I am very struck by that," "I am also looking at those younger generations and thinking: 'What are the nuances that they will inhabit when they grow?' please log in to view this image
Are white Brits allowed to go anywhere and demand more white inclusion in another society? I just can't imagine going to live in another country and then asking why there aren't more white people on their tv, in their govt , in their palaces etc etc
After reading your post, analysing the content and reflecting on this lady's comments ... ... I'd have to say she's thicker than Jordan's lips.
quite a bit of this 'constitution' goes back to the Magna Carta and anyone who has looked over that will be well aware that there are parts they wish to adhere too and many they are happy to alter when it suits them. i do believe many MP's enter that line of work to help, but it seems that once the 'freebies' begin to stack up they find it beneficial to follow the leaders.
Perhaps she is unaware that there could have been a 'Person of Colour' on the Balcony, but she and Harry preffered to give it all up to move to America.
