Subject: RE: Queen's 90th
So our prime minister comes free just because he's not called Mr President? Garn, pull the other one! 😂

Landed gentry such as the royals possess their wealth as a result of their ancestors' stealing land from the rest of us. All their profits are ill-gotten gains. We can only hope that they at least put them to good use for the benefit of their tenants. Unlike many of the latter, they do seem to have rather pleasant lives, no five-day forty-eight hour weeks with just four weeks' holiday for them! And how do you know I wouldn't last a week in her shoes (given that they are size tens, wide fitting)? Oh yes, I forgot: she has to go around on the bus and fly Ryanair, then when she gets back to her mansion of choice after having those flags gruellingly waved at her as she asks people "hellay, and what do YOU do?" she has to put the washing up away, cook the tea, make the beds...
