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)
