I thought this was a rock music thread. Rip off!
When oh when will the Brits finally give the entire house of Windsor the axe?
Queen extols the 'unique' power of Christianity

The Queen opened the Church of England's General Synod yesterday with a ringing endorsement of the "uniqueness" of the Christian faith.
In a speech that reflected her personal beliefs as well as her role as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, she contrasted the enduring nature of Christianity with the rapid changes in society.
"For Christians, this pace of change represents an opportunity," she told a packed hall in Church House, Westminster. "When so much is in flux, when limitless amounts of information, much of it ephemeral, are instantly accessible on demand, there is a renewed hunger for that which endures and gives meaning.
"The Christian Church can speak uniquely to that need, for at the heart of our faith stands the conviction that all people, irrespective of race, background or circumstances, can find lasting significance and purpose in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
Too bad her Royal Nibs didn't mention the biggest tragedy for Britain, WHICH will leave the nation vulnerable to Islamofascists and Internal Liberalsim:
The amalgamation of the Scottish Regiments with regular BritForce.
For much too long Scots have been taken for granted
by Brit Civil Servants. Now they are Roayally Skeeeerewed!
She has spent a long lifetime doing her duty. When she departs, it will be the end of an era.
Enthronement of the King Formerly Known as Prince Charles will weaken the institution of the British monarchy, perhaps fatally.
If they pass over him, which I think is doubtful unless a very different Prime Minister is in office, I don't see that his sons would be much better.
We don't need a king here, but England is different. Few of the European countries that relinquished their monarchies in the past century or two have managed to govern themselves very effectively.
It would have been nice of her to mention the U.S., England's best ally, especially since Hurricane Katrina practically obliterated the entire southern gulf coast.
Seems awfully negative.
Babies were born, lovers met, people became grandparents...real life happened.
Ah, so the old bag trotted out the "annus horribilis" speech, eh? She did the same thing the year one of her palaces burnt down. I just hope she hangs on long enough to her dip-sh*t son doesn't get the throne!
