Brenda has provided continuity these 60 years and may need to do so
even more in the coming months. When she pegs it, with any luck Brian
will abdicate immediately in favour of William.


Lilibet Windsor has been responsible for as many wartime atrocities as
any
other dictator, and it is high time that she was arraigned as a war
criminal.


If you're the head of state, then you're the head of responsibility, and
there's no two ways about it.


Not in the version of "head of state" used in the UK, Responsibility of
this sort rests with the Prime Minister.


The PM reports to the monarch,


Not in the sense that the monarch decides what happens in wartime.

It was Blair that decided to get involved in Iraq, not Liz.

and the monarch may depose him.


Only in special circumstances.

In a time when sexual peccadilloes of 30, 40 and 50 years ago on the
part of entertainers are being examined by the courts, there is no reason
not to look at Lilibet Windsor's approval of all the warring actions taken
in her time.


She had no say on what happened in Kenya, Malaya, Iraq etc.

Either you are the head, or you or not.


It is nothing like as black and white as that.
