For those who didn’t know / didn’t care.

On the 9th September Her Royal Highness becomes the longest serving monarch is British history!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not big on the Royal stuff (well I actually detest it) however, I’m big on witnessing defining events in my lifetime. The Moon landing etc., etc. but when Lizzie beats the record I’ll raise a glass.

I believe there’s not going to be a big fuss made of it, but I think it comes higher than whatever that river pageant was all about.

I just hope a I raise a toast, that she’s doing the same with her crown on, singing Campione, Campione…

As the great Sir Francis Urquhart said (in that episode when you realise there are worse monsters in life than Urquhart)"Not at all, sir. Don't you understand what I'm telling you? I have no wish to. It is you I want to destroy, not the Monarchy. My family came south with James I. We were defenders of the English throne before your family was ever heard of. It is to preserve the ideal of a constitutional monarchy that I now demand your abdication."[/i

Benefits scroungers the lot of them, living off the state, with housing provided, breeding like rabbits, and from illegal immigrants. Take everything and give nothing.

That about sums it up doesn't it?

Ah but what about all the money they generate from tourism we keeping getting told about?

As long as the monarch doesn't embarrass the nation or interfere in any way in politics then, despite ideologically being opposed to a monarchy, I think the one we currently have works very well.

it should be ....
doff the cap, you pleb!

Just think how high profile Rugby League could now be if Jamie Jones Buchanan had married one of Her Majesty's grand daughters. The other code hasn't looked back since Tindall got in there. Another opportunity missed by RL? I blame the RFL and Nigel Woods.

Naw , it's Silverwoods fault all the way

Remarkable achievement - God Save The Queen

Which "God" and which queen?

and what's so remarkable about being a benefits scrounger for so long?

That IDS hasn't assessed her for a fortune in "bedroom tax" - must have hundreds of spare ones around this sceptre isle.

For some reason I used to respect the royal family. Now I realise they are a bunch of Reptilians with dubious morals. Obviously they are handy for the economy with all the tourists who come here to see all things Windsor but is it really worth living under their oppressive, exploitative regime?

Remarkable that her father died relatively young so she could take over in her twenties and live to an age just above the average for women?

It's more luck than anything. Now if she lived another 20 years that would be remarkable.

Everything they do or say is massively exaggerated. They offer a molecule of sympathy and they are beyond generous, anything less than open cowardice is noble and heroic, avoid total stupidity and they are wise and intelligent.
They are a bunch of big eared, buck toothed, balding f*****wits who rely on a baffling, misguided sense of duty from people too tiny and afraid to give up serving and indulging them.

They mean nothing to me other than a perpetuation of a class system that allows the less capable to dominate and control their betters. The thought of celebrating an old woman drenched in the most obscene levels of privilege and wealth managing - with all the odds in her favour - to live a long time makes me cringe.

Still, it's a free country, isn't it.

Did the ginger one not do a spell in the desert, and the one who married the ginger one not do his bit in the South Atlantic?

I recognise they are not the Queen but given the hatred of the Royals spouted on here maybe a couple of notable contributions.

When Corbs gets his chance they can opt out of the armed forces tax with you lot.
