What "servile rubbish"?

She isn't the same as you or me at all ,she is the Queen of England and should get all the respect that office deserves

she's more than that

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926[a]) has been Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand since 1952. She is also Head of the Commonwealth and the queen of 12 countries that have become independent since her accession: Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.[b]

And yet you have an issue with so called unelected in brussels, deary me

And let's drop the pretence there is any trade value from the commonwealth, it's a relic of old empire that these countries want to move on from tryany of slavery and don't wish to be lectured by a broke country, they are doing very well without us

You are missing the point, she *is* the same as you and me. It is just her job is different ...

You answered the point yourself: it is the "office" that deserves respect (assuming the incumbent keep to the rules). The person is .. just a person. No more, no less.

Yet Australia, New Zealand and Canada ( to name just 3 ) have all expressed a desire for trade between us.

The difference between Brussels being unelected is that they can pass EU law/regulation (call it what you will) that effect us. The Monarchy can do nothing like that, they are just a figuredhead.

Like it or not they do a very good job of representing this country to the rest of the world.

I was referring to the Monarch not their consort. You really need to learn the difference.

I was wondering when my name would come into this discussion.

I find the whole issue totally a disgrace to the vulnerable of the UK. She maybe the monarch of the UK and all the Commonwealths.

But, l look at it this way.
We have thousands of her 'subjects' you and me that cannot make ends meet. We have severe cuts of everything possible. We have a NHS is totally financial disarray.

We have police forces all over the country making cuts.

And yet the Government have agreed to pay OUR money into refurbish the Palace. And l bet the Contractor's will be offered tenders for the Company to put in good offer. And it wont be a British Company that wins it.

The Royal Family, go round the world at OUR expense. I just find it disgusting
