OT: Andrew

Ya well no fine!

Seems like all these people in public life who refer to each other as "honourable" are precisely the opposite. So many of them caught with their pants down (except Mandy - who thank god - actually had his up for a change)

Mandy us a waving-arse bandit...

He was arrested because he out out driving with a girlfriend.

And she wasn't in a car seat.

Why did the police roll up in plain cars? Why no blue lights & sirens as there would have been for any other individual?

They generally don't use blue lights and marked cars if they think it will spook there intended target.

Only if someone else paid. From all accounts it appears that that she is slightly in debt - to multiple people/companies.

I didn't specify who was paying Anyway, as you point out, she is already well f***ed.

It's the girls I feel sorry for. Imagine having parents like that...

I was taught that 'with respect' means there is very little in the way of respect and 'with the utmost respect' means no respect at all.

Would it not be the CID for an investigation of this nature?

I use: "With all *due* respect" ...

That's probably the best formulation.

We still need a Head of State. Toss a coin and Heads it's President Blair, Tails President Boris.

Both cost taxpayers more money to accommodate when PM, than the Queen.

Would it cost extra if she insisted you put your false teeth in?

The CID would do most of the actual investigation, but arrests and securing the site would be done by bluebottles.

Exactly. The point about a Monarch is that if the government goes Trump, he/she/it can in theory say 'no, I wont sign this s*it'.

And having a huge stake in the country that politicians do not, and having been brought up in such wealth that any more seems pointless, they are unlikely to be bribable.

No. I'll keep the monarchy, for all its flaws...

Definitely

The problem is that it did, and they didn't. Johnson prorogued Parliament so that it wasn't sitting when key Brexit decisions had to be made (ie votes her might lose), and the monarch did nothing about it. It was only the Supreme Court that prevented him taking all the power for himself.

So turns out that the system is about as good as a chocolate teapot when tested.
