Queen will not meet Trump during UK visit

[Altfish]

Well Queen Liz of the UK is the latest person to snub Trump.

Donald Trump 'to make working visit to Britain in early 2018 - but he won't meet the Queen'

Trump's UK visit has been downgraded

 

[Mister Silver]

Good for her.

The Limeys better be careful....next time the Huns attack,
Trump might not want to pull their bacon out of the fire.


Is it OK to say "Hun" here?

I think what we most have to worry about is finding ourselves overtaken here in 'Murica and the rest of the world not providing aid because of Trump.

Who cares? The Queen is just a fixed object in the UK with no real power, anyway. Heck, she wanted to skip Charles and let William inherit the throne but Parliament won't even let her do that much.

My big concern is Trump's flirting with war.
We have better queens here.

God Save the Queen, cuz nobody else will.

Actually the reality is the Queen is quite powerful still, she's immune to British law, and if she wanted to, she could override Parliament. At least it's from what I hear.

The dear Queen Elizabeth is 91. She probably doesn't want anything to do with the media circus that surrounds Trump and wisely so.

Aye, that's why I too won't meet with Trump.
(But if I ever did, I'd surely wear something sturdier than a kilt.)

I thought he only inappropriately grabbed women.

Nah, she can't over ride Parliament unless Parliament allows her to. She is sworn to uphold the law and the decisions of Parliament.

She can't even name her successor. I find that weird.

One shouldn't take chances.

 

[Spiderman]

I wonder if there was any other American Presidents visiting her if she would feel the same way... I still vote that Trump is our most hated president yet

Unless you're a really pretty, androgynous man, I think you're safe.

More than even Nixon?
Could be....could be....

My manliness quotient has definitely faded in the last couple decades.
But even before then...
How Unmanly Are You?

I seem to remember that she's head of the Church of England...oh, you're right, she has no power

Could be....could be....

I would say so... It don't seem like Nixon was that hated before the Watergate scandal

Right. She is the figurehead of the Church of England as well as the figurehead of the UK government. She is head of the Church in name only and makes no decisions that affect either the government or the Church.
