[News] God save the Queen.

[Baker lite]

70 years our Monarch. A truly remarkable woman.

 

[Barry Izbak]

I'll raise a glass to Her Majesty today.
Remarkable person.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I won't read the OP's post for obvious reasons, but I was pleased at the Queen's intervention over Camilla, and would suggest that she has been the UK's best ever monarch. I suspect that will remain the case, perhaps forever.

Perhaps, although I have high hopes of William ... although I might not get to see him as King.

Bit harsh on Alfred the Great and Ethelred the Unready

Let's hope there's never a challenger and they scrap the whole ridiculous institution when she passes.

Athelstad gets my vote for best Monarch. But gawd bless her Maj, 70 years of living a life of unimaginable excess and luxury at our expense. Quite an achievement. Well done Lizzy!

 

[Hugo Rune]

The best monarch ever but sadly won’t be the last.

She has very, very few faults but one, unfortunately, is the habit to breed ‘total idiot offspring’. Surely Charles will crash the monarchy?

I think we’ve all had enough of the epitome of upper class, white inherited privilege that is personified in the royal family. Talentless chancers like Boris the Liar and Andrew the Liar who lie and lie and lie to the British people but expect respect, power and privilege in return.

This is the century where the monarch will be replaced by a president, hopefully with the great capabilities, honour, integrity and judgement of the present (and one off) Queen.

Agree with the sentiment regarding the institution of the monarchy, but her interpretation of Born to Rule is wholly preferable to the **** currently occupying no.10. A remarkable innings.

Unfortunately, with our dimbot electorate, it will probably be President Johnson.

Let’s see if we can all keep this civil, we certainly do not want the usual suspects condemning this to the pit.
Once again Boss, thanks for 70 years of faultless service.

Ethelred let the Danes in and subsequently we were over exposed to pissy Carlsberg lager. It’s hard to forgive

Last words of Ethelred the Unready - "What, now?"

 

[Norman Potting]

Total respect for our monarch, but time to move on from the Monarchy

He did says the UK's greatest monarch.

Look around the world. Presidents with 'capabilities, honour, integrity and judgement' seem remarkably thin on the ground. Think of the senile old bungler Biden in the US, or his sociopath , kleptomaniac predecessor, Trump. I'd rather keep the monarchy but transform them Scandinavian style - they all get jobs as solicitors, pilots and accountants and just get wheeled out for ceremonial occasions

I don’t think you speak for ‘all’

On what criteria do you rate monarchs?
If it's on the basis of the influence and control of the UK over the rest of the world then she gets nowhere near Elizabeth I or, the mummy of them all, Victoria. In fact, under her stewardship we've lost most of the great empire "on which the sun never sets" (until she gave it away).

 

[Baldseagull]

She has performed as well as anyone could have hoped in the role, I admire her, even though I am conflicted about the Monarchy.

 

[studio150]

For all those wanting to move away from a monarchy just consider how happy you would have been with Johnson as president
