[QUOTE=Dick Dasterdly;8874767]So Camilla should be carted of to the Tower of London to get her head chopped off ?
Don't suppose there'd be too many tears shed over that.
As for her Majesty's dockyard, I didn't know she still had one.
Wasn't the Royal Yacht broken up for scrap not so long ago?[/QUOTE]
All dockyards belong to the Monarch - along with swans.

That's if the Rumanians haven't eaten them all.
Apparently a large number of swans were going missing from Londons parks a few months ago, until the police rounded up the gang of Rumanians who had been helping themselves.

Re: Poor Liz
Why do people continually come out with this crap? I'm serious, do you all just hear what that bloke at the end of the bar with the murky pint of Monkey Spit says and believe him?
All swans are NOT owned by the Queen... she, like many other monarchs since Henry's time has the Royal Prerogative over them but that it is... and it only applies to Mute swans, and swans NOT owned by any one else...

Re: Poor Liz
Modern agriculture, although not perfect, consistently provides us with plentiful, nutritious and inexpensive food.
Organic farming has no proven health or nutritional benefits and, if implemented on a global scale, wouldn't be capable of producing anywhere near enough to feed the world.
So it's OK for us rich westerners to greedily under-utilise agricultural land to grow our trendy 'organic' produce 'holistically' but the poorer peoples of the world will suffer because of our selfishness.
However, I don't blame Charles for championing organic - lots of people do. What I do object to is his using his privileged position to influence government policy.
Here for instance

He also, allegedly, interfered in the Evidence Check Homeopathy parliamentary committee which roundly condemned Homeopathy but was completely ignored by the government.

A long-standing enthusiast of complementary therapy, the Prince has held talks with healthSecretary Andy Burnham to persuade him to introduce safeguards for practitioners and their remedies. His call comes before a crackdown by the EU that could prevent anyone who is not a registered health practitioner from selling remedies.
Professor David Colquhoun, an expert in pharmacology at University College London, said: “The Prince wants his own ineffective sort of regulation. Proper regulation should be on whether these products work. It seems deeply unconstitutional [for him to comment].”

If the silly sod ever gets to be King,the PM of the day had better mind his Ps and Qs and go along with Charlie boy's views, or else risk being next in line for the chop at the tower.
Seriously if he wanted to really flex his muscles as King, how far could he,or would he go ?
I get the impression he won't be happy till he's virtually running the country

Re: Poor Liz
I see they’ve voted in Ed Miliband instead of Ed Balls. Her Majesty must be having kittens to keep her husband away from either of them. I can imagine him sitting in the palace now, sipping his brandy.
‘I told you dearest, our country is finished. Our people haven’t got the balls any more. These brothers don’t look right to me, are they British? And what about that Spanish fellow, Cregg? I would have preferred that lovely black woman from Hackney, can’t we invite her round for tea?’
