You should add above that this is from 1957.
If she gave this speech today, she’d catch hell from the Progressive Left....the train (in the UK) has “left the station” ...
“The trouble is caused by unthinking people who carelessly throw away ageless ideals as if they were old and outworn machinery.
They would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honesty counted as foolishness and self-interest set up in place of self-restraint.
In this critical moment in our history we will certainly lose the trust and respect of the world if we just abandon those fundamental principles which guided the men and women who built the greatness of this country and Commonwealth.”
EGAD - Her subjects would depose her if she gave this speech today!!!!
thanks, I was wondering why she seemed to be saying it was a newer thing for her to be televised into their homes.
As a proud and grateful American with roots to colonial times, I can yet say unabashedly that Elizabeth is an admirable and gracious lady, and that the world has been a bit better place for having had her in it.

Ditto.

She’s the last of the good royals. Once she’s gone, you can pretty much shut the whole thing down.
It’d be hard to argue with that assertion.
If England did have the royals could there have ever been Monty Python?
Didn’t?
I wonder if she was thinking such things while giving Knighthood to the purveyors of permissiveness...8:}
Only about a hundred years after Queen Victoria wanted such a contraption created so she could address her subjects.
I love her and her deep spirit and commitment. God bless the Queen!
The Mohammedans and Diversity Deviants are steering the royals in that direction already.
The younger royals’ behavior is a case of both, aided by the blindness they have to the consequences of their actions.
Meghan Markle is a case of the latter - where the wedding was stuffed full of Diversity Candidates and their attendant causes.
Yes, and dunderhead Charles is a flaming Leftist. Yet Will and Kate will be King and Queen someday and they seem to be grounded in family values and conservstive principles......unless I am totally misreading them both.
No, I haven’t, but just did a search and found it here: https://archive.org/details/TreeTops1955
Will give it a go over the weekend .. thanks -)
If she were smart she'd see to it that Chuckie is squeezed out of the line of succession. He is nothing more than a blithering idiot.
