17. she has to do this; part of her job description
Sat Apr 15, 2017, 05:12 PM
Apr 2017

She will have to - the position rather than the person is the important thing. She did the same to Ceaucescu and Mugabe (I think) and any number of the monsters and conmen that seem to crawl among the upper echelons of world politics.
And our blessed unelected prime minister invited hm.
If I were the Queen, I'd invent a 2-day flu for this huckster, but it is part of her job.
Hope she snubs him in a subtle yet telling way. Hope Prince Philip is incredibly rude.
Vulgar tacky little man.
