In the twelve months to her death she carried out 341 public engagements, and supported over 600 charities. If you have, or have had, any relatives in their mid-nineties you should have some idea how tough it is to get up from a chair, never mind trailing round the country.

She did not do much lifting of weights, but she spent countless hours on her feet, with little opportunity to switch off, and almost none of it was for her own pleasure.

Where do I start?

Yes she comes across as a lovely old lady, but lets look at the cold hard facts

She inherited her wealth and position

Her family's wealth has come from British colonies and abuse of people all over the world for hundreds of years

Her forces have blood on their hands all over the world

She has been able to have laws changed before been passed in the UK to protect her and her families assets

Her son Prince Andrew, let us say no more

Yes she was a mother, a grandmother, a great grand mother etc, but as a figure to admire, how can anyone admire someone who shields a paedophile, who avoids taxes on her inherited billions while so many of her subjects live in poverty, whos forces have raped and murdered people all over the world.

Sorry but the world would be a far better place without the monarchy and if the monarchy's assets were used to pay reparations to all the countries they have destroyed over the centuries, and the UK were to become a true republic, with its 4 member nations having the right to leave the union if they wish, not needing the approval of the English government.

I take it that you don't like the Queen very much joggon, nor did I until recently. When I looked at her I saw an old woman at the end of her life, her last photograph showed this. A 96 year old woman died last week, who just happen to be a queen by an accident of birth. You could have been English and upper class by a twist of fate too. Bitterness anger and hate say more about us all than anything else. People still hold onto hate because of things that happened hundreds of year ago, or perhaps a 108 years in 1914. The world can never change, or be a better place while people are angry and hate all the time. I have cause to hate and, I hate to use the term, a victim of the NI Conflict, but I went on to work closely with senior Republicans and made some good Republican friends. Hate get old after a while my friend and the only person it hurts is you.

Andrew had been left the Queen corgis to look after

I think the Queen did a lot of good coming to Ireland

I wouldn't like to have been the Queen or even a queen for that matter.
Going to visit escorts would be an issue if I were
