Toepoke Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Agreed. What about the queen mum doing it? Or the future king teaching them it. The Queen Mum ended her days doing Ali G salutes, she clearly liked to mimic the trendy hand gestures of the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 My Gran's sister went on about this all the time, listing other names int he extended Royal Family as well. She's in her 90's i didn't realise she was meaning literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I quoted Frankie Boyle on the topic of the Royals last week (the River Jordan water for Princess Charlotte's christening thread) - worth quoting again here: 'The House of Windsor is the stage name of a troupe of petty German nobles. Like many actors, it was the name change that signalled their entry into show-business proper. Our royals realise they are playing a publicity game and, when it gradually emerged that the media were fascinated by their sexual misadventures, their petty rivalries, their boorishness and their racism, they must have been seriously delighted knowing deep down that they have all else to offer. Their gaffes, their almost ironic smiles, their sheer duffness - if you're trying to put your finger on what makes you uneasy about their manner, it's the air of a children's magician who can't believe how well this shit is going down.' Frankie nails it. They're the fulcrum of the class system and the epitome of the general snobbishness that makes the UK what it is. A despicable shower of chancers, perpetuating one of the most blatant con tricks in history, propped up by a sycophantic media with the state broadcaster at the forefront. Yeeeuch...

scotlad Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Surprised they've not claimed it was the Red Hand of Ulster... I'm surprised this thread was well into its second page before someone cracked that joke - I was poised to crack it myself! Wasn't Queenie's uncle quite pally with Hitler? I am sure I read once that if the Nazis had succeeded in invading the UK they planned to install him as a kind of puppet monarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 BBC doing their usual sweep sweep....Sweep sweep of what? I don't think that in 1933 the Nazi party were seen as the evil bastards they turned out to be. So unless they are also suggesting that the Royals cam see into the future this picture is totally irrelevant. I'm sure auld Lizzie would rather this had never happened but it's hardly newsworthy when the Government are waging war on the poor and helpless in our current society. Maybe some fannies at the Scum would be better served paying attention to current affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) here's a headline from 1933 Also the The Anti-Nazi Boycott of 1933 "In late January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the German Reich. Immediately, members of Hitler’s Nazi Party began a campaign of violence against German Jews, socialists, communists and other Nazi opponents." "Herman Goering announced, "I shall employ the police, and without mercy, wherever German people are hurt, but I refuse to turn the police into a guard for Jewish stores." http://web.archive.org/web/20090116052255/http://www.ajhs.org/publications/chapters/chapter.cfm?documentID=230 Edited July 18, 2015 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I couldn't care less about the Royals but this is a real storm in a tea cup compared to what is going on right now thanks to our ever loving government.

phart Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's also a bit weird to be coming out after all this time. Some one reviewing archive footage or something. Although i guess if it's coming out i comes out anytime is as good as any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brant grebner Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The story isnae that the queen is the one doing the salute, it's the then King and Queen encouraging them to do it and the fact that it was covered up for 80 odd years. Couldnae taint the notion that dear old queenmum was an Auschwitz advocate. That said, if the queen was indoctrinated in to fascism as a kid, she likely still flicks her rancid old bean to adolf speeches and probably made all her vermin kids and grandkids and great grandkids the same. Fukkin laughbable that aw the shitemunching Lilliput-loving ####wits in this country seriously voted against Scottish independence cos they were worried that we would lose her and her like as head of state. The royals should all get the Bolshevik treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
