Thread Name: BS: Her Majesty The Queen
Subject: RE: BS: Her Majesty The Queen
Hmm. Rather unfortunate that Bonzo should be bigging up Her Maj on the very day that her plot to keep her wealth secret, conjured up using archaic laws, has been revealed. Her embarrassment over her unearned Croesus-like fortune was successfully covered up with the connivance of the Heath government in the early 70s. Of course, in those days the very suggestion that the ultra-wealthy Queen, recipient of massive dividends on her land holdings (lands stolen by her ancestors from the ordinary people, who are now duped into supporting her, lest we forget) should have to pay any actual tax, let alone have the plebs knowing how much she and her ancestors had robbed from them, would have been utterly outrageous. So it looks like the queer old dean is just as corrupt, if not more so, as any other rich bugger. Well who'd have thought it...

Of course, the poor old bugger has probably earned her fortune. After all, all that waving back to picaninnies with their plastic flags (don't touch them whatever you do, these foreign johnnies have all kinds of lurgies...), let alone having to explain to Phil why some of their "subjects" have funny-coloured skin, must have been so taxing. Good job they didn't have to pay their own air fares, which would have given them so much more stress. Such good value for the undeserving poor on disability benefits, etc...
