The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Post by clearspira »

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61672048

Lets have some feel good news for a change and take time out to celebrate Her Majesty. 70 years on the throne. She has seen war, she has seen the end of an empire, she has seen the end of segregation, the birth of the internet, man landing on the Moon, the assassination of President Kennedy. She has seen plague, and Trump, and recession. She has seen the birth of the EU and Brexit. And all the way through it she has worked tirelessly. There will never be another Queen Elizabeth the 2nd, just imitators.

And that is why the world loves her. The Americans love the British royal family - you kicked them out and yet continued to follow them in droves which says a lot. They are lighting beacons in her honour across the Commonwealth. And that is also why that fame hungry scrote Harry and his gold digging wife will never be able to unseat her with lies either. He will be forgotten long after Her Majesty I promise you that.

Oft-forgotten fact: Brans Stoker's Dracula (from the novel) didn't burn in sunlight, he just list most of his preternatural powers.

Also, she's supposed to be an alien werewolf, if Doctor Who is right...

At this point, I'm sure the Queen is staying alive purely to make sure Charles never inherits.

I'm sure the Queen appreciates you shittalking her family.

Only she gets to do that.

Heh, I get in the same "drunk on patriotism" mood every year around July fourth. Weird to see it from the outside.

Enjoy your holiday, clearspira. God save the Queen.

Yeah, the next one will put a "the Third" after her name.

Still waiting for Liz 10 to show. (Basically, she rules.)

Jubilee is the one who can’t touch anyone lest they explode, right? Or is that Rogue? I get those two confused.

Can't touch anyone, because they'd be sucked dry of their lifeforce, that's Rogue. Touching things and charging them up to explode could be Gambit. Jubilation Lee/Jubilee is the asian girl with the party fireworks.
