British men don't really like women

Brits like horses and foxes. Its kind of fetish to them.

Only the upper classes Crow, plus I don't think they prefer them to women ;)

But I am sure that queen prefer horses and foxes.

Of all of the things, the queen prefer tax havens. If you have had any doubt about paying them: the queen herself was caught with tax avoidance in the past. Such is a quality of a modern elites :-)

If convicted, which prison would be hers?

None. The law is enacted in Her name. It's a grey area if She could be convicted without being deposed. English law works on precedent, and the nearest precedent for this was in 1688, rather a long time ago.


She wasn't 'caught', and be careful mixing British and American English. In BrEng, tax avoidance is perfectly legal (nobody pays more tax than they have to) whereas tax evasion is illegal. In AmEng, they use the term tax avoidance differently.

the Tower of London, definitely.

Isn't it too much occupied by tourists these days? A formidable spectacle of beheading a next British monarch would today have attracted crowds coming from every corner of the world - undoubtedly crowds would have been much bigger than in 1649. That would beat up Brexit!

You could charge a small fortune for front row seats. And then send the head to Crow to make up for those Serbian monarchs' severed heads that he's always complaining were stolen by Turks.

Seems a bit unfair to behead a much-loved 92 year old. Plus we enjoy having the world's longest-serving head of state. Perhaps we should decapitate Theresa May instead. Not that anyone would notice...

come the revolution, citizen, there will BE no tourists...

I did not say whether it was legal or illegal. What I was even more interested is that from the moral point of view The Queen of the United Kingdom has avoided paying taxes in her own country and chose a tax haven instead. Maybe she's saving up for her second youth :-P

If the Queen of England is screwing Inland Revenue then how does it make you feel, you average PAYE Jon Brown? :-)


If there's a God, they would send her to Glasgow :-D

It makes a big difference. Very big indeed...


She pays every penny she's asked to.


You're making some interesting assumptions about the person you're addressing. I don't do PAYE, though do pay tax at the highest rate. Certainly not a penny more than necessary (who among us would pay more tax than requested?) and do use various legal mechanisms to optimise the situation, not least because three different jurisdictions are involved; not so average....

How do I feel about The Queen's tax affairs? She isn't a citizen, she can't vote, she is a very special case. She should be exempt from all taxation.

Same here. Yet if I was a King of England - even for a purely decorative reasons - I would set an example and wouldn't transfer my income to Panama. This has caused much more damage than just few quids less of tax income from the Queen. A fish rots from the head down.

It hasn't caused damage; the Royal Family seem to be thriving. Although Her tax affairs (like that of others are supposed to be private), I'd expect she has other savings and investments offshore too.

There's one thing we forget. If She copyrighted her image (Adolf Hitler became personally rich by doing this, he got a commission for every postage stamp, every poster or framed photo, every souvenir tea towel and mug, that and cash from his 'bestseller') she'd be one hell of a lot richer. Plus, the revenue from the bulk of her land holdings goes straight to the treasury.

Jon, you don't need to use capitals for pronouns when referencing the queen, she is not a goddess.

Nobody does; she wouldn't lock anyone up in the Tower for not doing so. It's still convention though, and many people do it. One of those things like playing the National Anthem before a performance of Handel's Messiah or having a 'loyal toast' during a provincial dinner dance. It's just something that people in much of Britain tend to.

And if, as the thread says, British men don't really like women, this woman they do like. Apparently 90% of British men have dreamt of having sex with Her...

Scuse the double post. A slow connection here.

If you want to see a British oddity, google the Royal Society of St George. Gammon central.

The Royal Society of St George is an English patriotic society established in 1894 to encourage interest in the English way of life, and English customs and traditions.

Why is it OK for the Irish,Welsh and Scots to do this but not The English?

Why do you hate The English so much?

That's a pretty weird question. Whoever said it wasn't 'OK'?

At least you've googled them and learnt who they are, so that's something new for you.


Another weird question. This is becoming something of a habit.

Good. I thoroughly encourage English patriotism.

They're actually great fun, if a little suburban

A bit like the Oddies, though without the self-help and care service.

You used the words "Gammon Central",for non English readers this is a term of abuse used by Leftie Liberal types to describe middle aged Brexit supporting patriots.

Why did you use that term?

Your abuse of The English seems to be becoming something of a habit.

Rather old aged than middle aged

I beg to disagree but that depends on what you call old aged.

Do you have it' s not about them being English but about what they represent and who they are.

Pure brexit.


Yes. The other 99.99999% of English people get by without the costumes.

Anyone older than me. Have you seen the pics of a UKIP conference ever ? Full of geriatrics

Yes! It's one of those parties that plenty of active elderly thought they might like joining, and most left because the hardcore activists were just too grizzly for them.

They of course are baby boomers who bought houses when they were cheap, had the protection of strong unions throughout their career, had a completely free education, are still alive due to the NHS and have triple-locked pensions. And want to deny that to anyone younger than them.

There you go again......but it's OK for the Irish,Welsh and Scots to wear costumes......
You are pathetic in your hatred of The English.
England is the only country in The British Isles that does not really celebrate their culture,heritage and history.
And you come out with a comment like that?
I ask you again.....why do you hate The English so much?

Do they?

Try a bit harder...

Are you some kind of idiot?
Are you seriously trying to say that The Irish,Scots and to a degree The Welsh don't dress up to celebrate their cultures?
You have a serious reality problem here mate.....
Only your hatred of The English comes through from your post.
