Well I am 2 years younger than you and I sincerely hope that there will never ever be such a waste of tax payers money such as this to please the wealthy ever again. @BritManToo too had exactly the correct response to it all when he said the Russians and the French got it right.

It only cost 30 Million Pounds , we save more than that per day by not having to give the money to the E.U. anymore

Should it not also include the commonwealth?

Don't the Aussies, Kiwis, Canucks and others still bend the knee to her.

Yes, that is Aussie expats, Kiwi expats, Canuck expats. NOT THAI EXPATS.

I'm a British Citizen & i didnt watch anything on the tv, not one thing - Didn't celebrate anything & to be perfectly honest, not in the slightest bit interested in the British Monarchy or Parliament - I'm a bit of an anti establishment kind of guy..

But you did click on this thread and contribute , so that is a bit of involvement

And add all the money generated by all the street parties and also the overseas visitors contribution to the UK economy over the period,

 

PS;  Has there ever been any popular, or otherwise, dictators to serve 70 years.

Even Castro didn't make that milestone!

No. It’s called Minor Insignificant Royal Families. ????????

 

Many reasons why UK is the coolest most admired most influential most achieving country in history. Queen just one of hundreds of those “ reasons to be cheerful” with UK ????????

Ok, Mr informed. Let us hear.

 

What makes UK the coolest country?

Who else, then UK citizens, is admiring UK more than their home country? (That you can Google as it is very much written about. Please do turn off your UK VPN first. ????)

What people or what countries, sees UK as the most influential country in history more than UK citizens? (Please don´t tell me to Google it. The pages that showing UK at the top are owned by and run by brits)

Most achieving country? Really??! (Please, don´t Google that one too. It´s just happy USA and UK fanatics that runs the domains)

 

So, now about the queen. I wish her a much longer life at great health for many years to come. On the other side, that´s what I wish all people I know and don´t know. So, what´s the difference? That she has a higher status? Sorry, that won´t work for me.

Why are you getting on him for? The whole point is that you wrote that you do not understand. No one shifted any and said it has anything to do with things outside this topic. Just explain, please. How are we supposed to understand "I do not understand" when you post such things?

How are the rest of us supposed to understand what you do not understand about not understaning his not understanding post?

 

I am sorry but I just do not understand your not understanding post!

 

 

 

 

PS;  I do hope you do understand!

What an absolutely ridiculous comment; did you not even bother to read the thread to which Bkk Brian was responding to ?

 

…… what he actually said was “I really don't understand why anyone criticises these events when people attend voluntarily to enjoy their own cultural heritage”  he did not simply say “I do not understand”

 

You should read comments carefully before making such puerile comments

Did you read my full post before he edited it into a 4 word out of context snippet from a post that explained my understanding in detail?

Do we see any other people from any other country make such big celebrations in a foreign country for the royal family in the country they chose to leave? No, and it´s a reason for that. It´s called common sense.

Why are you so vehemently anti-British ?

 

Without knowing the reason, I can only assume that something has happened at some point in time to make you like this.

 

Any chance of enlightening me, and others, on your reason for this hatred  …. thanks

Very few non-British understand how the oldest most mature democracy works or why UK is so successful. ????

 

All Western Europe grateful for our WW1 & WW2 successful endeavors.
 

Except embarrassed surrendering French of course who pretend USA alone liberated them.????????????
