What are your thoughts?

Part of me totally believes that she said what has been reported, because when Nick Clegg was questioned, he responded that he "didn't recall Her Majesty making those comments."

To me, "don't recall" is political code for "Yep...it happened, but if I say I don't recall it, and in future it's proved it happened, I've got a get out clause."

Also, if the Queen had expressed support for the leave campaign, Clegg is hardly likely to admit it, right?

But the other side of me thinks that the Queen is way too careful to blab about this...especially in front of MPs!

But then the *other* part of me looks at the reports of this and can see that the papers (pro exit) are all over the place on the detail of the conversation (it happened at a lunch, no - a dinner, in front of Nick Clegg, no - Michael Gove etc)

The Queen is a constitutional monarch with no (official) bias in issues concerning the governance of the realm. If she confides such views to a politician who is not acting in his official role, they do not exist in the public domain. They are nothing more than meaningless tittle tattle fit only for the redtop gutter press.

Attempting to turn the Queen into a Brexit sock puppet?!?

Nail them up, I say. Death's too good for 'em.


(after the style of the Python-film dungeon character)
What is the relevance of the opinion one parasitic queen's to another's?
... of one parasitic queen to...
Apologies to my English teacher.
Squeaky bottom time for Gove.

He is denying anything to do withe leak, but he is a Sun favourite.

Let's deport Murdoch while we are at it.
I think she should back the Brexit side, and stand up for Britain governing itself, rather it being run by a group of other countries, that want to see Britain fall.
