Fuck you Liz!

Now, I'm a bit of an Anglophile but I just read something that turned me off of Liz II. She make Robert "I Love Communism And Wrecked Rhodesia" Mugabe a fucking honorary Knight Commander Of The Order Of The Bath back in 1994. In 2003 the Foreign Affairs Select Committee asked Liz to revoke the honors, because he is a thief and murderer that has single handledly destroyed the breadbasket of Africa, and she didn't.

So Queen Elizabeth II, fuck you.

Pointless titles awarded by pointless people.

I'm sure she's heartbroken that JCD no longer loves her...

Its even worse that they decided to name a highway after her here in Alberta.

Umm..it's not the queen who can remove it.

It's the Foreign Secretary.

Piss on the sign with her name for me.

And I'm sure if the Queen made a phone call it would have happened. Did she make that phone call?

Not to mention fucking Rhodesia over in the first place.

Not how the system works.

And I'm quite certain if she called the appropriate minister and said "I really, really want to revoke his honorary title, so you go right ahead and get the paperwork to me ASAP" it would have been.

I'd say wrecking an entire country qualifies as an infamous crime.

1. Her Majesty is never in error.

2. If Her Majesty appears to be in error, consult principle #1.

It seems like a really minor thing to get upset over.

I shot the sign.

Again how did the UK "fuck over" Rhodesia?

Well i'm off to bed as it seems you are not going to tell me what the big bad white people have done this time.

Oh and here is a hint on the groups that messed Rhodesia up, UDI and ZANU-PF.

Have fun with this little dramathread.

I thought you meant Liz K. I was getting ready to hurt you.

That's Sir Pointless Person to you.

Their Majesties, the sovereigns are Gods. Don't cross them or you'll end up like Ex-Princess Diana.

Are you saying that Diana was killed by her own royal family?

Yippe! Conspiracy!

Call Willie!

Indeed, but why bother? It's a meaningless title that does nothing for Mugabe so long as he has it, but it'd be a huge PR boost for him if it was taken away. His followers would have a field day painting themselves as hated enemies of the old colonial opressors.

He's saying that the affairs of the real royalty is of no concern to the Plebs, and the aforementioned should keep their heads down.

Isn't this one of those orders that the politicians give out for back scratches and the like?

I'm not even sure she has control over the process.

He's from West Virginia. They're running out of coal and Regular Virginia stopped trying to take their land back.

What else is he going to do?

IIRC, the queen also honoured the Ceausescus. There's been plenty of murderous thugs on the list over the years...

JCD's on a "wind up the Brits" kick recently. Not sure why.

My guess is penis envy.

I'm pretty pissed off at her for being an unelected autocrat as well.

If I were her, and could've gotten away with it, I totally understand WHY she would have ordered it.

Yeah, but you're also pissed off over everything, so your being upset over an unelected figure of state who hasn't autonomously exercised any REAL regal powers over the course of her reign doesn't exactly captivate our attention.
