Queen Elizabeth. A true welfare queen.
It is so hard to believe that so many Brits want to keep the royal family in place. Such a waste of money! As all kings and queens are! I was watching OLD movie last night, Errol Flynn as Robin Hood. The king had a huge banquet going on, many guests, stuffing themselves... while the towns people starved. People of England work so hard, the royals just slurp it all up.
I happen to be a big fan of Queen Elizabeth. I’m old enough to remember WW2, the bombing of London, the blitz night after night. Many if not most Londoners who had any money at all sent their children to the country to get away from those horrors, but the Royal Family stayed and very young Princess Elizabeth gave talks on the radio discussing the bombing, the horrible tragedy of killings, and urging people to get into shelters. I will never forget her bravery, even when Buckingham Palace was hit by a bomb.
And then her father died and she became a very young queen. Burdens most young women could not have withstood, no matter how rich and famous.
God Save the Queen.
And I’m Irish...
