in Balmoral, are held to be 'the Privy Council' for this purpose? What a pile of crap. The queen ought to be ashamed of herself. Since she's on holiday, she clearly hasn't met with Corbyn, or any non-Tory PC.

Fuck the monarchy. I used to have the position that reforming it was further down the list than things like the Lords, the electoral system and so on, but now she's pushed it into an urgent matter. Defund the timid old bag. She's outlived her usefulness.
