Snigger, I love a double entendre

Fluffyears · 13/07/2018 22:11

Massive no no to turn your back on the monarch! Surely he had someone to coach him in the etiquette!

BestIsWest · 13/07/2018 22:15

No corgis left Stealth. I think the last one died last year.

hotcake80 · 13/07/2018 22:15

I'm still not a royalist, but I still don't see why a nice old lady should have to be near that creature.

With what is coming out with information about his links with russia spies during the 2016 election , he will be locked up, indefinitely. Hopefully Smile

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 13/07/2018 22:19

I hate etiquette, strangled sense of what one should do. Fuck that

ToeToToe · 13/07/2018 22:46

Yeah - you just hate etiquette Lipstick. You have the luxury to do that, The Queen does not, you do, she does not. Get it?

She has more money than you - less freedom. You have the privilege of a private life - you can do what you like, and it's unlkely to make headline news. How about that? How privileged are you - to a private life??

Massive no no to turn your back on the monarch!

Do you know how ridiculous this sounds in 2018? I am minded of The King and I where everyone had to have their head lower than the king.

All very silly.

RedDwarves · 13/07/2018 22:55

They were on time, and were under no obligation to bow or curtsey to the Queen.

In other words, they did nothing wrong, but people still tear them to shreds. Hmm

The Queen does not rank higher than the President of the United States. He occupies the highest rank in the US, she the highest position in the UK/Commonwealth. Same diff.

He's direct. He speaks his mind. And he gets results! A refreshing change from most politicians.

Yes and those with barely a single brain cell to run together absolutely love him!

2up2manydown · 13/07/2018 22:58

Hilarious watching the lefties lose their minds over the elected leader of another country visiting ours. The very same people who wouldn’t curtesy to the Queen but self-combust when the Trumps don’t because it’s SOOO disrespectful.

I think Brits have shown themselves up this week. Very undignified protests. And protesting why? Because the elected leader of another country is a sexist bigot and has daft hair? Why exactly is that any business of the British public?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 13/07/2018 23:00

he comes over as simply an arse of a man.

He certainly does.

They say that "punctuality is the politeness of kings". HM would NEVER be late for meeting anyone - she is always son time and always courteous (though of course, she doesn't encourage familiarity).

Trump is an appalling twat. I pity Melania. I doubt that she had any idea what she was getting herself into when she married him.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 13/07/2018 23:00

Toe,etiquette is simply a layer of social control imposed upon people
One must curtsy, one must use correct cutlery,one must defer to unelected monarch
Do I need to spell it out,are you that hard of thinking that you think queen has it hard
Can you not observe quantifiable differences between working folk and monarchy

woman11017 · 13/07/2018 23:02

Why exactly is that any business of the British public
Why not?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 13/07/2018 23:03

He should be rolling around with the swine in their sty.

No animal deserves that Styx Grin

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 13/07/2018 23:04

It’s my business that constitutionally I’m a subject.v much my business

maxthemartian · 13/07/2018 23:08

2up2manydown I was at the Glasgow protest this evening. It was anything but undignified. It was peaceful, there were many really witty, funny and creative banners and costumes.
Undignified is that orange twatbadger.

(Important note to the security services: this is posted as a piece of humorous satire, 007 is not real, and even if he was real, I'm not suggesting anyone does this).

But if anyone does, there's a Royal Pardon, a knighthood, and all the corgis they can eat for the rest of their lives . . .

Mrsharrison · 13/07/2018 23:14

Through my wotk i saw the queen close up 20 years ago. Fab skin, cornfflower bue eues, great colouring, glowed with health. She was in her 70ss but I've never seen someone that age glow like she did. She has a great life and the best of everything - thats why shes still going strong.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 13/07/2018 23:17

Through my work I met adults who’ve not had the advantage of servants,private physicians. They’re not going strong
Queen Going strong is a manifestation of privilege.
Let’s not pretend otherwise

Typhers · 13/07/2018 23:19

Looking at the language, bigotry and hate of many in this thread, rather than hate the guy I’d suggest you have a lot in common.

The guy is a dick, like most millionaire playboys I’d imagine... that doesn’t mean you have to be blind to his successes.

TomPinch · 13/07/2018 23:21

I think Brits have shown themselves up this week. Very undignified protests

Down where I live, people are having a good laugh about the Trump baby at Trumps expense.

There are a some idiots who disagree.

Mrsharrison · 13/07/2018 23:22

Lipstick, I made the point she has had the best, hence her rude health and longevity. No pretence here - please read posts carefully before you reply .

TomPinch · 13/07/2018 23:22

that doesn’t mean you have to be blind to his successes.

What successes?

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 13/07/2018 23:27

Given that I wasn’t directly replying to you MrsHarrison your observation is not relevant

coolncalm · 14/07/2018 00:05

Foisting that misogynist, rude and almost certainly deranged orange buffoon on her and HM not giving him a bash with her sturdy handbag
She's used to buffoons, she's married to one. In fact Donald and Philip will hit it off just fine, both extremely racist, arrogant and outspoken. All the royal family are racist, some manage to cover it up well. The queen mother was extremely racist, she never tried to hide it.
