So the Queen of England has been in the news a lot recently. Is she the only one left who insists on wearing clothes that went out of date in the 1950's?
Watching her entertaining the Saudi Royal family brought home to me just how stupid the whole royal thing is. Does she know that she would have to wear a Burka in Saudia Arabia and would be banned from driving there? Just what are the shared values she speaks of between Britain and Saudi Arabia, a love of oil, fighter jets and corrupt arms deals or is it their human rights record?
Oh, and what does she carry in that handbag of hers - surely not a credit card or cash - has she ever used either in her life? I just can't imagine her needing bus fare or money for a newspaper.
Watching her reading the Queens Speech tonight begs the question how she would handle a paragraph proposing the abolition of the monarch or increased taxation on herself.
I think she carries a flask of gin. She is never without that bloody handbag and what else could she need?
