While King George VI was alive she was called the Queen Consort.

When he died, she was known as the Queen Mother. She has never been one of England's ruling kings and queens.

HM Queen ELIZABETH the Queen Mother was she not, or is imaginative 'heir' splitting only allowed in...

Mp's can petition the queen to annul the proroguing ... 

 

Many have already written to the queen.

I cannot see the Queen failing to back her Prime minister, not least because of the prospect of IRA/Hizbollah/Hamas loving Corbyn (in a week marking the 40th anniversary of the assassination of her cousin Mountbatten) replacing him.

Good grief. The cultural degradation of Britain has never been so evident as in the ceaseless whining of the remainers.

Re. the petition, I think this pretty much sums it up:-

 

"Parliament must not be prorogued or dissolved unless and until the Article 50 period has been sufficiently extended or the UK's intention to withdraw from the EU has been cancelled."

 

i.e. - the remainers 'charter'.....

The Queen has already signed the declaration therefore this is a waste of time.

There are some considerations.

Parliament revoke Article 50 - unlikely.

Parliament make a no-confidence vote and open way for new government election (albeit Johnson decides the election date). Problem is that Corbyn would have to suppress his PM aspirations and allow someone else to be the designated challenger.

Petitions are part of democracy if you do not like it start your own or find out if there is a counter petition.

Quote

Thousands of people protested outside Parliament yesterday in anger at Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend Parliament just before Brexit is due to take place. They rallied for hours outside Parliament on Wednesday night, and there were smaller demonstrations in other towns and cities.

Sir, you are severely and dangerously misguided. May I courteously inform you that a petition that aims to subvert the result of a democratic vote by preventing the result of that vote being enacted is not part of democracy. So shove it.

Fact is we are coming up to the party conference season where party members will decide party policies, the Labour Party needs to understand having a leader with his own agenda is making a joke of the party.

How true, but when you look at Labours MP's sitting in the House it doesn't give one much confidence. And why Abbott hasn't been moved on is baffling..

Of course it does. If she agrees to help Boris avoid the democracy of the Parliament, then she is agreeing with Brexit. If she believes in the British democracy, the authority of Parliament, then she says nothing and lets things unfold as they should. Is she on the side of the People and the democratic system of government or is she supporting Brexit?

She is just carrying out her duties. She is not taking sides. She works with all her goverments and opens and closes parliament for them and reads outloud the speeches prepared for her. Yes, if the vile Corbyn was in Government she would accede to his requests but that would not mean she would

be: 'on his side'. She is, as ever, taking advice from her government and to do otherwise would herald the end of the British Monarchy. To think that her action in this case denotes approval is crass. Even ssking the question indicates a very naive view of British constitutional law. We can only guess her opinions.

Morally bankrupt act of desperation...

 

 

The only moral that counts is observing the majority vote to leave the EU dictatorship. At least Boris is taking positive steps to see it through, deal or no deal, May was far too weak to have ever succeeded.

You may have a point there. Whatever she thinks about the current situation I doubt she would want an anti semitic, terrorist lover, immature marxist like corbyn anywhere near the wheels of power.

Polls can be manipulated, the referendum was a clear intention of what the British voters wanted, I am truly sorry it did not go the way you would have liked, but sometimes life is not fair, please respect what was voted for.

It has not been democratic for the remainers to try and overturn that referendum decision for the last 3 years. 

You have never tried to compromise, it has always been about stopping what was democratically voted for and now the remainers are paying the price, I just wonder how many MPs from the Labour Party had wished they had voted for Mays deal now, well it looks like that ship has sailed.

When you consider that a referendum cannot be manipulated, choosing to ignore the abundant... 'fake news', or simply: lies, your pick, including incorrect figures, widely (ab)used by the 'leave' camp, and its declared heralds, BJ one of...

Refer to a previous comment regarding the cultural degradation of Britain being exemplified by remainers. The comment about (sic) 'Levers' says it all.

Ruth Davidson quits as Scottish Conservative leader

Quote

Ruth Davidson has quit as leader of the Scottish Conservatives after eight years in the job.

In a statement, she said it had been the "privilege of my life" to have led the party during one of the most "remarkable and important periods of recent Scottish political history"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-49509275

 

With the prospect of a General Election looming within the next 3 months the disarray within the Tory Party is probably rife within the constituency parties, their on the ground well oiled campaign machine will be falling to bits...

Here's a definition for you:
Britishness: a thousand years of mad monarchs, the legacy of Agincourt, Poitiers and Waterloo, two World Wars and all the others, the travails and triumphs of the empire and the industrial revolution, Shakespeare and Austen and Wordsworth, Newton and Darwin, all the pioneers and explorers who made the place great; England is country lanes and stately homes, cathedrals and crumbling castles, duck ponds in Hardyesque villages, the White Cliffs and the White Horse, church bells on Sunday mornings, bluebells in spring, the wind in the willows, sheep on the common, sausage rolls and pork pies, fish and chips on the prom, rain on holidays, football, messing around in boats, George Formby, Dad’s Army and the Two Ronnies, Vera Lynn and the Beatles, The Queen on Christmas Day, freckle-faced kids, prim aunts and bluff uncles, horses and bulldogs, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, Tom Brown's schooldays, Swallows and Amazons, Pooh sticks, wry idioms, ribald humour and teasing, a unique gentility and forthrightness, the squire having a warm pint in a country pub. And perhaps above all, decency, honour, and grace in adversity.
 
If you don't recognise all of that in your heritage, you're not British.

The Remainers entered this Parliament under the rather childish delusion that they were going to use Parliamentary procedures to stop everyone else, and nobody was going to use Parliamentary procedures to stop them. At Westminster they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

Fat Lady a bit early.

There was no no-deal result.

HM has one question for a PM reporting to her and that is whether s/he commands a majority in Parlliament. In the event of a no-confidence vote being passed in Boris, then life gets interesting.

Would have been interesting to see what would have happened had someone strolled in front of that peaceful demonstration with a contradictory message. I'm thinking a big sign like "Make United Kingdom Great Again" or "Go, Boris, Go!"
