That dog is wondering if he can get away with a quick bite. Pity he didn't.

If it did, its owner would be charged with animal cruelty.

Nutmeg refers to herself 54 times in a 7 minute speech. Ginge sits there looking unhappy again. I challenge anyone to listen too the whole speech. I haven't even opened it.

I think the dog would have been better cocking its leg on her. Right 'message' and the dog wouldn't mind being 'ghosted' by her!

Neil Shawn made a very good point today. She piles on the tanning cream when going to the UK so she can pull the race card. When actually she is white.

And in the midst of all this drivel, not one of you seems to share a thought, or care for HM Queen Elizabeth, who is clearly ailing.

Surely silence, and non Daily Mail blather, on any subject, would be more appropriate?

Just so - in her younger days she used to be surprised how many people thought she was white - but that changed when she decided that being black was a better choice for her career in victimhood. Here she is with her first husband Trevor Engleson:

I suspect it's precisely because we care so much about the Queen that most of us are intent on seeing her main tormentor put back in her Californian box, TGA. If I were the Emperor I'd drop this obsessive nobody and her pet donkey, along with Uncle Andy into a sound proof dungeon somewhere and put an end to the Queen's problems in her last years. I suspect she only follows what expurgated news her courtiers tell her as they wouldn't want to stress her unduly either, neither would 99% of her subjects.

cont..

My point is that almost everything that issues from that woman's gob is a lie and it is calculated to go for the jugular of a woman that most of the people in the world love and respect. Ignoring MM would not appease her or stop her barbs - appeasement doesn't work with people like that.

I hear you FD2, and while I respect your point of view, HM doesn't need this populist paparazzi nonsense!

As an ex-Royal Navy officer, I am sure sure you know that. Less is more!

Yes - the 'Silent Service' - but that hasn't done the RN much good over the years. Allowing others to blow their own trumpets and take undue credit hasn't played out too well historically.

No 'paparazzi nonsense' here - I'm coming to the conclusion that both of them are seriously sick in the head - but I'm sure that the issue will be dealt with by the Palace eventually. I'll continue to demean them from time to time. I'm sure only correct and limited information is conveyed to the Queen at Balmoral but I have an awful feeling that she will not return to Windsor, or if she does she won't return to Balmoral again.

My generation was too young to remember the King so we have known nothing but her as our sovereign nearly all our lives and I can't imagine having to toast a King - it just won't seem right. I despise what some members of her family have done and are doing to her, so we'll have to differ on our personal responses to those who are making her last years so miserable.

Whatever the case, men of your generation did good and all...

My generation was too young to remember the King .........
Feb 6th 1952. Apprentice in Liverpool. Recall going out to buy the office "lunches" ( being "junior" member ) no MacD's in those days so went to the local sandwich shop, and seeing the corner newspaper seller with his handwritten noticeboard reading " King dies". As my wage was only £1 week I didn't waste money buying one, tho' it was probably only 3d. but told the Boss when I returned with their sandwiches and someone else went out and bought one. Great sadness all around almost as if the World had ended.

Was this the first public awareness of the dangers of smoking?

The King was a heavy smoker I believe.

With the death of Queen Elizabeth the children of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan now bump up a notch in the rankings and I understand they are now entitled to the ranks of prince and princess.

So we now have HRH Prince Archie and HRH Princess Lilibet! I do not know if he is a quadroon or even an octoroon but his mother says he is 'of colour' so I guess he really is, and with red hair to boot!

The Black Prince of Montecito!

Unbelievable, I must have been writing that as she was on her deathbed ?

Very Sad. RIP.
