A 60 year anniversary is not a jubilee. A jubilee is 50 years.

I congratulate her on keeping that twit son of hers away from the throne for another year.

They renamed the tower, not the bell.

Most of the founders were not rabid haters of the crown, certainly not to the extent where decedents 230 years into the future should pretend like they have a legitimate beef with the present queen and wish her ill.

Suspect you are aware,but, the name 'Big Ben' refers to the Bell that chimes on the hour.
The Tower in which it resides has always been just 'The Clock tower'.
Nice for it to now have a name.

Dear Queen:

I'm sorry that you had to tolerate our Royal Idiots when they broke with protocol and touched you on your imperial butt ... and humiliated you by interrupting a toast to you, the sovereign, with a pitiful campaign speech ... and in exchange for your priceless gifts, sent you CD of songs that wouldn't play on British CD players ... and moved a bust of Winston Churchill out of the White House ... and called on you in attire that you wouldn't consider respectful even if worn by ignorant savages on the African savanna ... but look at it this way ... how would you like to put up with the Hee Haw's every day ... and a fawning main stream media who constantly kiss their arses ... and pay for the their regal expenses ... and worse of all, live with their stupid mistakes!

Signed,

/Zak

P.S. I also understand why you didn't invite the Big Boob and Moo Shell to the Royal Wedding.

Exactly...that is the Britain I like to think of, the Anglosphere countries of the USA and Britain who together saved the most of the World from Nazi and Soviet tyranny.

She’ s the richest woman on the planet (sorry, Oprah), so I don’t think a salary (or none) would matter.

But I agree with you on principle.

Big Ben
The name migrated from the bell unofficially to the tower.

What a freaking joke these “Americans” are. WTF is moochelle? She looks like Yoda. First Lady, LOL. I hope she’s known as the last lady.

If the British people elect to keep the monarchy, that's their business and I'm happy for their opportunity to celebrate. But I can't see congratulating a woman for 60 years of doing nothing but living lavishly on other peoples money.

I wish her well. I just have a LOT of 89 year old AMERICAN women to wish well before I get to this English broad.
