The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

[Max Fowler]

At the time it was probably just the latest craze, like that flossing dance.

Even by your standards, comparing nazi salutes to 'flossing' is exceptional. Bravo.

[Long slender neck]

Are you saying The Queen is a Nazi then?

[Max Fowler]

Where have I said that?

Just because her dad was mates with Adolf, it doesn't mean she was/is a nazi.

[Max Fowler]

Don't forget, she was only a child in that family photo of them all doing the Nazi salute.

[Chief crazy horse]

It was her uncle that got friendly with Hitler.

[Max B Gold]

It was her uncle that got friendly with Hitler.

That's ok then.

What about the Mountbatten geezer who was plotting to overthrow an elected UK govt in the 70's. Does that count?

[Chief crazy horse]

I'm not counting or okaying anything, I simply corrected Gary the plumber that it was her uncle.

[Max Fowler]

Are you certain that her dad wasn’t pally with Adolf?

[Chief crazy horse]

No I'm not certain. I just thought you mixed him up with Edward V111.

[Give it to Jabo]

To give the present Queen's father his due. I believe he was given the option of emigration in 1940 but he stayed put. A staunch Royalist I am not. I think that the Royal Family infantilizes modern debate in the UK - popular media is usually servile.
