I'm fully aware that not everyone on this MB is from the UK
but I'd like to start a thread as a tribute to the Queen
mother who passed away recently.

God bless you ma'am. You shone light into our lives.

I don't hate it, they bring in a lot of tourism (in the form
on yanks), however I'm not going to cry over a person I knew
nothing about, tried to keep it that way, and did very
little for the country IMO. They are putting her up to saint
level.

Yes, ben, thats the argument everyone comes up with....

well consider this. wouldnt having slaves improve the
economy of a country a great deal?

same thing... treating people differently, out of the family
they are in.

one big illusion, and it should be annihilated.
i´m reactionary on this particular subject, because i think
it sends out the wrong signals to have a royal family.

I could encapsulate her and place her inside my perspex
coffee table

she had 50 servants

i am growing to hate the royals, i work for a newspaper and
we print the daily mail, some of the articles in there
written by old-etonians, informing readers about the crazy
times had when dining with the queen mother, talking about
an incident with a butler getting stuck in a lift, whilst
drinking pink gin.

Oh what a fucking scream that would have been.

Fair enough an old woman has died. Fair enough she saved us
from all being forced into wearing Laderhosen and building
houses from sweets and cakes (one of Hitler’s aims.) He
also enjoyed brown showers, imagine if he made straight sex
illegal and only brown / golden showers were allowed.

It also meant I had to leave a local strip club early on
Saturday night to come into work and make some arrangements.
What I don’t get is the amount of airtime the TV gives to
a wooden box being transported through the streets of a
city. For all we know the wooden box may be filled with
spaghetti and staple-guns and Uri Gella’s business cards.

The truth about the Queen Mother

THE QUEEN Mother was a racist snob who excelled in
extravagant living. Amid all the grovelling, hypocritical
tributes paid to her this week, here are some facts to
remember. The Queen Mother referred to black people as
"nig-nogs" or "blackamoors". She backed white minority rule
in Rhodesia. She criticised Lord Mountbatten, viceroy of
India, "for giving away the empire" and his wife because
"her mother was half-Jewish".

She opposed immigration, and thought black Africans
incapable of running their own countries. The media call her
the "nation's favourite granny", but she enjoyed luxury
beyond most people's wildest dreams. The Queen Mother
squandered millions on vintage champagne, racehorses and
parties. She had five homes, including a Scottish castle
with 25,000 acres worth £20 million.

The castle cost half a million pounds a year to run. She
refused to give it up even though she only stayed there for
six weeks a year. A small army of 80 servants was employed
to look after her. The Queen Mother dined out at the poshest
restaurants, like Claridge's and the Ritz. She liked to have
"drinky-poos" before her lavish lunches.

Her fortune was estimated at £60 million. Even so, she
couldn't manage on the £643,000 she creamed off us from the
civil list every year. Luckily for her, the queen regularly
chucked her a million quid or two. Prince Charles had to
cough up another £80,000 a year to pay her long-suffering
servants.

A royal aide denied she was mean, saying, "She is simply out
of touch with the costs of modern life and believes that
what she pays is a living wage." When officials pointed out
that she had amassed a £4 million overdraft, she refused to
economise or sell any of her huge jewellery collection. This
included a necklace once owned by Marie Antoinette.

In her will she left some money to "her darlings", not
relatives but racehorses. The Queen Mother was hailed as the
first commoner to marry into the royal family. In fact she
was the da

In her will she left some money to "her darlings", not
relatives but racehorses. The Queen Mother was hailed as the
first commoner to marry into the royal family. In fact she
was the daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, and her full
name was Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon. Hers
was a typically caring aristocratic family.

Two of Elizabeth's nieces were born disabled and were
secretly locked away in a mental institution for the rest of
their lives. The public was told they were dead. She married
Prince Albert, who was second in line to the throne. One
biographer, Michael Thornton, writes, "Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
was determined to marry into the royal family so, after his
third proposal, she settled for the runt of the litter."

When Edward VIII abdicated in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson,
Albert became king and Elizabeth queen. The Second World War
was, the media say, the Queen Mother's greatest hour as she
stuck by the people of London during the Blitz. But the idea
that she shared the wartime privations of ordinary people is
a complete myth.

The king and queen visited Buckingham Palace during the day,
but slept every night in Windsor Castle. East Enders booed,
jeered and pelted the Queen Mother with rubbish on her first
tour of east London. She believed her pampered appearance
would "raise morale". It just showed how she still lived the
high life while everyone else endured rationing.

For some 50 years the Queen Mother guarded royal documents
in vaults at Windsor Castle that detailed the abdicated
king's relations with Hitler and the Nazis. They included
captured German documents describing the Windsors' meeting
with Hitler in 1937 and plans to restore the Duke of Windsor
to the throne if the Nazis won the war. Some of these
documents remain hidden from the public.

Before the war began the Queen Mother was a supporter of
making concessions to Hitler and the Nazis. She once sent a
copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf to a friend, saying, "Even a
skip through gives you a good idea of h

Before the war began the Queen Mother was a supporter of
making concessions to Hitler and the Nazis. She once sent a
copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf to a friend, saying, "Even a
skip through gives you a good idea of his obvious
sincerity."

The Queen Mother was vicious to anyone she thought
undermined the royal family. Her treatment of the royal
nanny Marion Crawford was described by one writer as
"symptomatic of the ruthless and brutal cold-heartedness of
that family and the way they treat the victims they leave in
their wake who have generally done them great service".

She did not step willingly aside for her daughter to become
queen. The then prime minister, Winston Churchill, had to
bribe her to get her out of Buckingham Palace. The media
praise her "devotion to duty", but she was far more devoted
to drinking and betting. The establishment is uneasy about
what the response to the Queen Mother's death will be. So
they should be. For 100 years we paid to keep her in the lap
of luxury.
