Must be nice to be left wing when you’ve got tens of millions in the bank and your crown estate will get topped upped by taxpayers when, heaven forbid, profits were to drop. Especially after a pandemic and during a cost of living crisis.
Bizarre comment.

[Kato]

I must have missed this at the time (or maybe it went unreported by much of the press) but there is no way the Queens choice of outfit at the opening of parliament immediately post the Brexit vote was a coincidence:

Bizarre comment.

I just see it a bit of a contradiction to be a millionaire for life by virtue of birth, and where your income will be topped up by taxpayers should it ever fall, and also be left wing. It’s more a comment against the monarchy than the queen herself. However not intending to cause arguments so I’ll leave it there.

I guess it depends on your definition of "left wing", but the reason for my comment was that it seemed to me that you were implying that anyone with inherited wealth could not also be concerned for the welfare of the rest of the population, which I don't see as being necessarily the case.

Don't you think that it's possible she might have a totally unique perspective on the nonsensical unfairness of it all?

The next question would then be "if she did, then why didn't she do anything about it" which is a bit unfair as it isn't always easy. A bit like when those of a right wing persuasion seem to think that if only poor people got better jobs, tried harder at school or worked a bit harder then they might improve their chances in life - it isn't that simple.

Most of us will only ever have known Tory or neoliberal Labour governments in our lifetimes. The queen happened to live through other times. I think she's entitled to hold an opinion on what she thinks is best for the country, just the same as the guy begging outside Scotmid is entitled to an opinion, as it the workie on the building site etc etc.

It’s not a contradiction at all.

That’s fair. She is an individual in an institution I suppose. We weren’t discussing the institution being left wing but an individual. My point was more aimed at the the monarchy, so unfair to call out the Queen individually on any contradictions

[Keith_M]

I never really saw Auld Betty as Left Wing, more of a long serving Centre Half... kinda like Paul Hanlon

For "Queen Elizabeth II".

This from the Scottish FA .

For "Queen Elizabeth II".

This from the Scottish FA .A huge insult to Scottish monarchists and for those who "love all that tradition".

Queen Victoria was due to be names as Queen Elizabeth and intervened so that the name wasn't used so as "not to insult the Scots", although she said it in German.

They don't have to. I just found out about the Sunday night one this second and no idea what time yesterday's was but i didn't do one. For the applause can just sit on your phone eat a pie or whatever I suppose

I'm going tomorrow with the wee man. We sat on our seats on Saturday saying and doing nothing. Same again tomorrow, but I really don't see the need for it all. She was lowered into the vault yesterday. It's time to move on, has been for a few days now. A few renditions of Lizzie's in a box tomorrow I think.

Couldn't give 2 ##### about it, but what does this mean for an extra bank holiday 😆

Good musician total ********, particularly his views on Syria and the White helmets

Rolling stone magazine
He has also accused the Syrian rescue group the White Helmets of being “fake,” against all evidence to the contrary; said the Syrian opposition faked chemical attacks by Bashar al-Assad, a contention no credible independent expert agrees with; and recently wrote an open letter to the Ukrainian first lady, Olena Zelenska, calling on her to encourage her husband to sue for peace with Russia — a move that would be tantamount to acquiescing to Putin. (In our interview, he dismisses well-documented accounts of Russian war crimes in Ukraine as “lies, lies, lies.”)

Another one for the separate artist from the person thread i suppose, John lennon was a bit of an arse too but I'm looking forward to seeing the bootleg beatles again

Would this make 3 bank holidays in May, or are they going to use one of the May ones for this pish. If its the latter then off with his head now

Nope, I'm going. Even if I have to play myself.

Miss coronation AND play for Hibs? Carlsberg don't make Saturdays....

Wouldn't be surprised if the footy is canned on that day. And I'd be amazed if there isn't a bank holiday on the Friday or Monday.

She's Queen Camilla. She must be going to sit beside Chuck at the do, wearing her own metal hat. Like an 80's HipHop album cover with a rapper and his "hoe", as they call them. Philip didnt get a go on one of them - the metal hat, not a "hoe".

I wonder she gets the whole "anointy" version or just him. The wizards get jiggy.

Football will definitely be off that weekend.

That would be shocking. At the absolute worst they should move kick off times but hopefully the Stone of Destiny will have reluctantly done its bit early enough in the day that there's no question of it.

[Hibrandenburg]

No, I've seen you play.

I think it's more likely just to get shifted to the Sunday.

Hopefully another bank holiday on the way.
