Britain’s 90-year-old monarch has made a rare foray into political affairs, being caught on film characterizing Chinese officials as “very rude” in their dealings with British counterparts during a state visit last year.

Queen Elizabeth II made the unguarded comments Tuesday while talking to a senior police officer at a rain-soaked garden party on the grounds of Buckingham Palace.

With uncharacteristic bluntness — rarely if ever heard in public — the queen said the Chinese had not dealt properly with Barbara Woodward, the British envoy to China.

ChiComs hate the west.

Her Majesty must realize that Western civilization is a non sequitor to most of the world. But the problem is not with Her Majesty, it is with the idjitts we all have to sometimes deal with.

The Chinese know weaklings when they meet them.

They hate the British because of their race and colonialism.

Now the British are meaningless. Muslims rule them.

They deserve and get no respect.

The only thing I disagree about is the colonialism bit. The commies think they are the only ones with the right to colonize, so it’s more like jealousy.
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

Manifesto, Ch. 4
The disdain is built in.

They need an eye opening course on England’s history , and in that way, may even be able to chart a realistic course for China.

You can tell just by looking at photos of her, that she doesn’t suffer fools or lapses in good manners, lightly.

Good for Elizabeth. In my opinion, at 90, she has a right to say whatever she wants, and screw the media and anyone else.

Quite frankly the Chinese are right to have contempt for the weaklings and cucks that run Britain today.

The Chinese, as well as the current cuck rulers should all remember that the cucks serve only at the pleasure of the Queen.

According to a friend who has met her on several occasions...she has a delightful sense of humor.

I have no use for royalty (being an American and all) but have to give a kudo to the Queen. She’s holding onto the throne like grim death having realized what a loser her boy Charles is and denying him becoming King. I remember as a kid all the press saying what a good looking catch he was, blah, blah, blah.

I saw that movie in a theater in England. You could tell who the Americans were, we were the only ones laughing.
