It's done with affection isn't it?

BrownTurkey · 13/07/2018 18:32

I wouldn’t bow. Or be interested in meeting a non elected head of state.

keyboardkate · 13/07/2018 18:32

Angelo,

Lilibeth was what she liked way back in the day, when she was care free and never thought she would still have to deal with idiots at age 92. She is a legend really.

As for people calling her Liz, that is just life today, the bowing and scraping to these people who are there as a result of an accident of birth is receding slowly now.

SenecaFalls · 13/07/2018 18:34

Disrespectful. Not bowing. Or curtseying. Ugh.

It is protocol that heads of state and their spouses do not bow or curtsy. This goes back a long way. The Kennedys didn't bow or curtsy either.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/07/2018 18:37

Trumpy doesn't crawl up anyone's arse hole, does he.

keyboardkate · 13/07/2018 18:38

There must be a whole industry in Buck Palace running the protocol section all the same. We are paying for people to tell us whether bowing, curtseying, walking behind, beside, not shaking hands or whatever is the correct the protocol!

But I suppose protocol and rules apply everywhere with Heads of State, not just regarding the Queen and her family.

At least Donnie did not give her a bear hug!

Maybugger · 13/07/2018 18:40

He makes my flesh creep; I cannot think of a more pig-ignorant, repulsive oaf.
Thank goodness the Queen is an expert in keeping her feelings hidden, I couldn't!

keyboardkate · 13/07/2018 18:42

Maybugger,

Melania knows this too. But is keeping her little botoxed head down for now.

They never look happy together do they? Or is it fake news lol.

Jamiefraserskilt · 13/07/2018 18:47

I watched that man bow to a Chinese businessman so why not HM? As for keeping her waiting, his ignorance knows no bounds.

PavlovianLunge · 13/07/2018 18:47

Trumpy doesn't crawl up anyone's arse hole, does he.

I don’t know, it seems to me that he’s always very keen to ingratiate himself with Vladimir Putin.

WallisWindsor · 13/07/2018 18:51

The photo at Windsor Castle speaks volumes, the background is the ugliest I've ever seen. It really is an odd picture.
Trump grinning like a whale.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 13/07/2018 18:59

No bow or curtsy
Good. He’s an individual not her subservient.
no one should have to bow or curtsy to anyone irrespective of their archaic status

Apileofballyhoo · 13/07/2018 18:59

I thought the photo was absolutely bizarre, Wallis.

lidoshuffle · 13/07/2018 19:00

Ha! That photo in the corridor of Windsor Castle has a dog'd drinking bowl on a plastic mat in it! Grin

keyboardkate · 13/07/2018 19:03

Anyone got a link to the pic at Windsor? Thanks!

HeresMe · 13/07/2018 19:06

Absolutely he gets results; he's managed to make the vast majority of people in the UK dislike him intensely and there hasn't been a foreign politician that has managed that on the same scale for quite a few decades.

Stop saying stuff like this, it's the same a saying majority of country were watching England football, evidence shows they were not.

Most people are don't really care about trump they care about there own lot in life they neither like or dislike him, some might agree with him, but ultimately they are trying to get by.

I think he is a Pillock and a scumbag but I'm sick of people saying Their views are everyone else's.

travellinglighter · 13/07/2018 19:08

Singlenotsingle

What results has he got? He’s told us he gets results but I can’t see any?

travellinglighter · 13/07/2018 19:09

Actually heads of state don’t bow or salute each other as they are equals.

SirGawain · 13/07/2018 19:11

He's direct. He speaks his mind. And he gets results! A refreshing change from most politicians.
He doesn’t speak his mind, he merely spouts whatever comes into his head. He simply gives voice to a stream of consciousness.

TSSDNCOP · 13/07/2018 19:12

Oh dear, he’s a boorish classless cock isn’t he?

One slip of those lovely, shiny bayonets would have done the trick. Perhaps that’s what Melania was pondering.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 13/07/2018 19:13

Trumpy doesn't crawl up anyone's arse hole, does he

Not unless their name rhymes with Padamir Flutin, and then SCROTUS is right up there; corrupt, lying, racist creep that he is.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 13/07/2018 19:14

He's direct. He speaks his mind

And what a shower of meaningless, self-serving, lying, mindless crap it contains.

dangerrabbit · 13/07/2018 19:16

Maybe we should be thankful. At least he didn’t grab her by the pussy.

StealthPolarBear · 13/07/2018 19:17

Melania curtseyed.
I don't care what protocol says they are not equals. I'm not aware the Queen has ever grabbed anyone by the pussy. He's a lowlife

drearydeardre · 13/07/2018 19:19

Absolutely he gets results; he's managed to make the vast majority of people in the UK dislike him intensely and there hasn't been a foreign politician that has managed that on the same scale for quite a few decades.
so circa 100K people in London - notice many placards are from previous marches - tories out, waving the eu flag, general election now - even those on the march are not that united in dislike of DT

circa 500 (!) in Birmingham

I do not agree with DT's policies in most areas and I think many people are the same but to say the vast majority of the UK population dislike him intensely is a massive hyperbolic generalisation.
