  1. When you know you are superior, you don't need to emphasise the fact.
  2. I've found just the thing :
  3. According to that, which I had previously read, HMQ only vetoed one bill, a private members bill trying to remove the need for her authority to declare war. All the other bills mentioned required royal consent, which was given under advice from ministers; "The sovereign has not refused to consent to any bill affecting crown interests unless advised to do so by ministers". Mind you, David Cameron has held some interesting opinions on this : http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2006/feb/06/uk.conservatives
  4. The Royal veto is only, ( and very rarely ), exercised on the advice of ministers, so whose vested interests do you think such act would be serving ?
  5. You do realise that the Monarch is a figurehead, who effectively sits on the throne because Parliament wishes it. The Queen has 'powers' but cannot exercise any of them independently. As a republican, I'm a British citizen but "subject" to nobody. My only interaction with the Monarch is to handover their head in return for goods purchased or to lick the back of it to indicate postage has been paid.

  17. I agree with SOG.
  18. Redundant
  19. What's the bettting that Oliver never refs at OT again ?
  20. Why did Janusaj dive, he was past the defender. The only annoying thing is that because he is captain, Rooney can't get booked for gobbing off all the time.
  21. Does that make England the 2nd best ODI side in the British Isles ?
