Read it carefully 'old-wise-woman'
For god-sake, shave her!
Read here.
( Alright, this is my first blog. Here goes)
As you all know in United Kingdom, the Queen holds the supreme power by the Royal Prerogative. The Parliament makes the law and the Executives i.e. Gordon Brown uses the power given by the parliament. This power has to be according to the law, which the Judiciary later investigates the Executives whereabouts, to make sure that they are not acting ultra-vires i.e. outside the power.
And the Public Law stories bla-ble-bla goes on.
But don't worry; I won't waste your time reading this useless information about England. What I want to say is that the Queen a.k.a the Royalist often benefits by merely sitting in the Buckingham Palace, playing with her dogs and signing legislation proposed by the Parliament nonchalantly, not knowing what's the real purpose for the piece of papers. Unconcerned and careless. While The Majesty lazily sits in her throne or may be sits on her leather cushion sofas, unknown to the public what kind of 'sofas' she would normally sit on, many soldiers are dying in the battlefield of 'long-live-the-Queen'.
Like this article by Jenny Booth, the writer is trying her best to show to the lay-average-reader that the Queen is great and very loving. Like at the end of the article;
The Queen will deliver her address from Buckingham Palace’s White Drawing Room this year. Her speech is one of the rare occasions when she does not turn to the Government for advice and is able to voice her own views.
Would not this wording captured the heart of the British people that they have such a loving and caring Queen who would 'get-out-from-her-palace-once-in-awhile-to-make-a "rare"-speech" to gain recognition and trust from her people and impliedly showing her profound grief to the bereaved paratroopers?
Would not these brave paratroopers have risked their lives for nothing? For the sake of their Queen, they have wasted their training to parachute in airborne force, and later they died in 'honourary-fashion' . Leaving their loved ones crying at home without the Head of the household.. Leaving their loved one with unmovable picture-frames which only brings sorrow and regret. Leaving them with pathetic speeches by the Queen who, I know, has no idea on the full name of the fallen comrades i.e. husbands, sons, boyfriends, gay men.
To me, the Queen is a politician. She conceals her own identity and do her role in a rather low-profile way. She blinds the society with the aids of her Executives wits and hence lives marvellously in her palace.
