The man lived to 99 and made sure to take out the trash before he left. Lay off the burritos darling, the show will go on for decades. |
+1. You can't underestimate the impact of major economic disruption on public opinion, especially when there is a long unhappy history that had been smoothed over with mutually beneficial economic arrangements. |
| Buckingham Palace is a National Heritage site you twat, it ‘s renovated and preserved for the benefit of generations of Britons and people from around the world. Only ignorant Americans so freely comment on things they have no understanding of. |
So is Westminister Palace, yet the MPs smartly scrapped that refurb. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-52682922 |
Er, it's the very vocal Brits who seem upset with the renovation and are drawing comparisons. Explain to me again why you, as an American-hating Brit, are on DCUM again? |
Er no, it’s not the very vocal Brits, it’s a delusional American that scours Twitterverse and regales us with obscure Twitts (4 pages and counting). Here are some facts. The Queen has an 80% approval rating, the highest in the world for a leader. Scotland had its say just 7 short years ago, and per polls the answer is still the same. The decade long restoration of Buckingham Palace was signed off by the elected Prime Minister of England. It’s a National Heritage site, an administrative site, and a museum open to the public - it will be restored and maintained no matter who resides in it. |
More facts. The Queen is 95 and dead within 5-7 years. Her son has the worst approval rating in the history of modern future monarchs and certainly among world leaders not named Trump. Scotland has already asked for a new referendum within a year because they did not agree to Brexit, which you guessed it - was unilaterally forced on them in the last 7 years. As for Buckingham Palace being a National Heritage site, sure. It's also the primary home of the monarch and their 52-room living quarters. Very little of Buckingham Palace is open to the public and only for a short 3.5 month period every year. In fact, because of the pandemic and the loss of revenue the Queen was forced to open its gardens to ticketed patrons for the first time in history in 2020. https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/buckingham-palace-gardens-open-public-21033755 |
What will the excuse be when this loving super mom ships her preteens off to boarding school? |
Are you a raging misogynist or something? What is your deal with obsessing over Kate's work schedule? Or are you one of the harpies who participates in all the SAHM vs WOHM debates on here who just can't abide by the fact that people's lives are different? In the real world, nobody cares much about how Kate spends her time. |
A beautiful woman? Yes. Fashion icon? Absolutely not. You will be hard pressed to find her on any best-dressed lists. Just because some other basics bought the same clothes doesn’t mean anything at all. |
DP - it’s a raging misogynist to ask what she does all day? The Queen of the Netherlands leads IMF negotiations. The Queen of Jordan chairs the World Humanitarian Forum summit. The Queen of Spain is a United Nations Ambassador. All of this on top of their extraordinarily busy engagement schedules within their respective countries. And being mothers. What does Kate DO all day? |
Has she been upgraded to Queen? |
Do you need to be Queen to have a passion for something? Anything? And as Queens their schedules are actually more demanding not less than when they were all just waiting in the wings. |
Your “passion” is obvious. No shit their schedules are more demanding as queen. But Kate is two steps away from queen. There is something seriously weong with you. Go rail on Camilla if you want to get closer to apples to apples. |
