“and the King laughed because he had two”

Charles isn’t king yet because he doesn’t have any.

[bgill]

Don’t leave your nuts out to be grabbed by any and all. Problem solved.

[Sybeck1]

What wer they? Cashews? Filberts? Toes?

[Romulus]

It’s her home. Does she have to keep everything under lock and key under her own roof? How would you like it if your maid/cook/gardner/handyman helped himself to your stuff? Or maybe because the Queen is rich she is therefore not entitled to the common decency everyone else can expect? Maybe it’s OK if the help pilfer her light bulbs and toilet paper too?

[Rebelbase]

That’s the kind of squirrel hawks and owls dream about.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, yes... Very good.

Porcine pilferers plunder potentates private pistachios

It’s her home. Does she have to keep everything under lock and key under her own roof? How would you like it if your maid/cook/gardner/handyman helped himself to your stuff?

Not only that, but for those who are in service in such proximity to the Sovereign and presumably vetted for character, it is additionally disgraceful to engage in such conduct. I would think that conservatives would understand, appreciate and embrace the most critical concept at stake here that underpins our entire ideological foundation:

If it is not yours, you are not entitled to take it.

Disappointing to see envious advocacy of wealth redistribution here, whether it's in via government sanctioned confiscation or individual theft.

Porcine pilferers plunder potentates private pistachios

Precisely put!

[AloisiusRevenge]

Aloisius has been a very naughty boy again in liberating the Queen’s own Nuts.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, could be.

“Who ate all the nuts?
“Who ate all the nuts?
“You fat bastards, you fat bastards, you ate all the nuts.”

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Yeah, I caught the totally politically-incorrect reference to Brazil nuts.

[hattend]

Is taking a few of the Queen’s nuts like poaching the King’s deer?

Robin Hood would be facepalming right about now.

[the scotsman]

The British don’t eat twinkies.

Sensible people.
