Right. Small steps. So the guy who gets drunk and beats his wife at least once a week should try to cut back. Let’s say, he might only get drunk and beat his wife once a month. Then only on holidays, etc. Maybe in 5 years life will be better. That’s real progress.

One good small step would be to let them put Randy Andy in jail for a while.

I don't think that's what she meant. She is 93 years old. She was speaking about the message of Christmas. Cut her some slack!

As McCartney once said: Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl..."

But she's not my Queen.

I'm American and so she's not my queen either. However I consider her to be the symbolic queen of the Anglosphere. Her Christmas message is an age old tradition. Imagine Obama giving and addres like this? Ha!

But for your viewing pleasure I offer this up:

I can’t believe her idiot son was such a pal of Epstein’s and didn’t take his family at all into consideration, nor the child victims. Just kept going back for more teen p... disgusting man.

Yes a disgusting man.

We men have it built into our DNA to protect women and children. It is the way we are. It is the way God made us.

He is probably so inbred that his genes are totally messed up.

To her credit, the Queen has banished him.

I am of Irish ancestry.My Dad's older brother absolutely *hated* the British. A fair percentage of we Irish still do. I,however,don't hate the British at all and I must admit that I have a good deal of respect for the Queen. But I consider her to have regal authority...and stature...only in the United Kingdom and the several other countries that accept her authority (Canada,Australia,etc).

Like I said,she seems like a pretty nice girl to me...but we could never be more than friends.

I feel sorry for her; all that she has gone through in her life, and some of the hardest was her own family.

She has devoted her life since 21 in service of her country.

She has. I love the series the Crown. Really explains what she has had to deal with since young adulthood.

At the age of 18 during WWII she was a mechanic for UK army.

Was Queen Elizabeth II really an army mechanic during WWII?

Here is Princess Elizabeth in 1945:

Fk her - and her entire family of evil, retarded, parasitic German Protestants. Good for NOTHING, do-NOTHING malingering, historical leeches.

Hang them all.. starting with that ridiculous goon-face Charles.

the Crown

I thought her character was written as rather unsympathetic and unlikable in the latest (third) season.
