The Queen invited Chris over to the London Tower. He was pretty impressed with the horrendous cells where they used to lock criminals up. Liz asked him which cell he would like to live in.
He decided to talk.
Australia is part of the UK COMMONWEALTH and as such, though they also have their own elected government, is an auspice, and to be actually over seen by the government of the UK!
Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst...the House of Windsor ( please stay up to date, vis-a-vis over 100 year old name change! ) has NO power...none at all!
You are the rest of the great un/ill educated posters on this site are making FR look as bad as DU, when it comes to arrogant stupidity.
1.) The Queen can ORDER the Governor General to SACK the prime minister, triggering fresh elections.
2.) The queen did this and the PM’s replacement passed the spending bill.
Again, way too much power for her. How you can not see this is beyond me.
Do you think she should have this much power? Yes or no?
She should have zero political power and her power demonstrated in Australia is power no matter how you try to sweep it under the rug or if you try to deflect through personal attacks against me.
And the “royal family” is Saxe Coburg-Gothe, btw.
At least replace them with more “Britishy” people...
I agree. It was simply a question of which candidate they knew; which one would be more predictable; which one they could influence in some or another way. The fact is HRC was motivated greatly by personal avarice, all those foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation.
She was also fooled by Putin (or was in on it) on the Skolkovo matter. She recruited a couple dozen tech companies to open up shop in Skolkovo - 17 of which were major donors to the Clinton Foundation. The military and civilian intelligence agencies later noted that the whole enterprise was a Russian industrial espionage scheme.
I also wonder about Syria. Carter froze the Soviets out of the Middle East and denied Russia access to warm water ports when Egypt flipped at Camp David. I understand that it was Obama’s constant red-line flipping threatening regime change on Syria’s Assad that forced Assad’s hand. But how we took no action to stop the Russians from mobilizing 50,000 troops in Syria is astounding. They undid 40 years of successful containment, undermined US and NATO interests, and created more risk in the Middle East by this one inaction. I cannot understand how this happened without concluding the absolute worst. Obama and Brennan.
And even if you took all suspicious motives off the table, the sheer incompetence of it is astounding. This is the country they describe as our greatest adversary! And yet they called her the most qualified candidate in history.
Like I said, in the UK they took the power to disband the government away from the Monarch.
The UK as I recall still goes by longstanding common law rights that extend back as far as the 1600s. They have been codified by precedent. The EU has something akin to a list of human/civilian rights but I only looked at it a long time ago. My takeaway was that is was a mess; legalese and overly verbose, and in places appears wishy washy. It lacks the directness of things like “freedom of speech cannot be abridged” and “right to bear arms cannot be infringed”. And as you noted, no 2A rights at all.
The other striking thing about it is that it is more a legal document than a statement of principles. The US Bill of Rights straight up says that humans have these inherent rights, the Constitution enumerates some of them, and that the government cannot act against any of them. The EU document lacks that kind of principled fervor.
“Did PDJT have a little chat with the Queen?”
So...you’re sayIng the President DID NOT have a little chat with the Queen?
Going back to long before Julius Caesar invaded Britain, the Germanic tribes of the Angles and Saxons invaded and more or less took over.
The Anglo-Saxon "English" language was pronouncedly GERMAN in nature.
When William the Conqueror, also known as THE "BASTARD", won the Battle of Hastings, in 1066, these Norman French took over England, the language of the court and the elites was Norman Medieval FRENCH and Anglo-Saxon English was more or less left to the peasantry for many 100s of years.
When the marauding Viking decided to not only invade the British Isle, many also decided to stay, which led to a patois/pigeon kind of Scandinavian/Norman French/Anglo-Saxon ( Germanic ) English in place in the sections they lived, and which is still alive today.
And now for your uneducated, full of holes posts re the Queen's powers....
Yes, the Governor Generals of the various nations that make up the Commonwealth of nations are approved by the monarch. She has NO real power over those nations ( think RSA for example ) and Parliament is the entity that actually does, when push comes to shove, since each nation ELECTS their own pols and have done for centuries now.
All nations have the RIGHT to their own rules and you are being the typical STUPID AMERICAN, superimposing what you imagine is what we live under/by, should be what every other place should do too.
The now Queen actually has ZERO "power"!
No. Not simply which they knew, but rather which one would deliver for them in just about every way, from really bad and dangerous (for us) deals on missile defense and nukes to a guaranteed substantially weaker (US) military.
The Russians are anything but stupid. It was of colossal importance for them to have Hillary defeat Trump. She would clearly have continued on with Obama's pathetically weak crippling of the military. And all those bad deals regarding missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal, would have still been in place today. Trump has undone all this crap already. Plus he's greatly increased the strength of our military
The notoriously traitorous Dems actions over those 8 years did nothing but strengthen Putin's hand, significantly. Russia is on course to restore their lost empire. The last thing on Earth they want or need now is a tough-on-defense, strong national security team like Trump-Pence.
You all post utter CRAP!
Sure Trump and Elizabeth II chatted; they "chatted" all damned day and evening! But imagining that he had her "pull strings" is delusional!
When Reagan was talking power to power...HE TALKED TO MAGGIE THATCHER!
1.) The queen did not want Australia to be mired in not having a spending bill.
2.) She wanted this to end and it did not end.
3.) She can and did have the Governor General torpedo the Prime Minister (That alone is way too much power).
4.) The governor general then APPOINTED a replacement. Again, power to the queen by extension of this power (#3).
5.) This replacement passed this bill.
Way too much power and the UK still does not have a first and second amendment.
No matter how you slice it, the house of Saxe Coburg Gothe is a Germanic House and dynasty, leaning inexorably in that way and moreso than other, previous, even more British, less German, royal lines.
Again, we need more British, less German, and that can be accomplished.
‘
Their Germanic leanings may explain the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute photos concerning members of this royal family that not even the royal family tries to dismiss, so you should not try either.
So you will actually say that the people in the UK have no right to a first and second amendment?
Now, say hello to my little friend...
😎🖕🏻
THE UK HAS NO CONSTITUTION AND ERGO, NO AMENDMENTS AT ALL!
How did you ever manage to graduate from 8th. grade, let alone high school, two day old her n00b? You need to sue every single school you ever attended and/or your parents.
Are you a Millennial...or younger?
How did you manage to find FR, all on your own?
Bugger off.
Oh good grief.
It is simple to see that you keeop deflecting as anyone can extrapoltae that having a first and second amendment would require constitution.
And I already previously typed out and posted here that they need a constitution like ours to procure these, so quit trying to then follow up what you posted “ How dd you ever manage to graduate...”
Since I did this, what you said about m,e is null and void and again revealed to be just personal attacks.
You need to become more like the FoundinG Fathers and never in any way support that authoritarian baloney found in the UK.
Just because it is the UK way does not make it okay.
The U.S. constitution with a first and second amendment IS superior. Thus, the U.S. is greater than the UK.
No way around that.
And I will not subscribe to some liberal relativistic thought that all govt’s are equally great when they are not.
The U.S. is greater.
1-5 as I posted in post #70 did occur:
The queen can and did have the Governor General sack the Prime Minsiter in Australia because she wanted 1-2 and did in fact get what she wanted in the end.
Secondly, I cannot believe that some here actually argue that it is a bad thing for me to say that the U.S. is superior to the UK because we have a first and second amendment and more amazing that some here will say that this makes me superimposing something when it is a good thing to say the UK needs both of these.
Can’t disagree. Which makes this whole Russia hoax and the media circus around it so disgraceful. It was projection and misdirection at a minimum; complicity at worst. Russia surely would have preferred Hillary. Hillary took Russian money. Hillary/Obama/Brennan advanced Russian interests. And very little of this was a part of the media analysis of the 2016 election.
The CF money was essentially funding a government in exile, keeping HRC’s court flush waiting for her turn. That she took I don’t know how many hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign governments while serving as Secretary of State has so much appearance of impropriety written all over it I cannot fathom how it wasn’t a major concern but even her detractors were fairly quiet about it. I cannot imagine anyone in high office getting away with that either in the past or the future. The implications of that frighten me. The support she received from the institutions of power to attempt to install her to power speak to incredible depths of corruption.
And no, I don’t care if I butchered the words with multiple spelling typos in my previous post.
I have very little time left today and I am not going to argue anymore with those who refuse to admit the queen can have a governor sack a prime minister and did do just this in Australia so she can get a spending bill passed that the previous prime minister objected to.
And that some here will say that it is somehow a bad thing and superimposing values to say that the U.S. is superior because we have a first and second amendment is quite ironic taking place here at FR.
What's next...deciding and the ordering China to change its government, etc. ?
Your "GOD COMPLEX" is amazing, so I'll ask you yet again...ARE YOU AGED 35 OR YOUNGER?
I have posted FACTS, know factual history, haven't "deflected", nor posted any libtard/lefty claptrap at all.
FYI....American has, over time, attempted to, in one way or another, change other nations into something like the USA and it has NEVER worked! So just WHAT makes you, you little nobody who knows NO world history at all, feel empowered to determine what's best for other nations ? And just HOW are you going to implement your dictates? LOL
Look, n00b, by joining this site a whole 2 days ago, you've already brought the cummualtive IQ, of this site, down 10 points, wasted bandwidth, and my time.
