In turn the Queen ordered her troops to violently suppress any and all dissent as fiercely as possible. False, the Queen cannot mobilize the armed forces. It must be voted on in Parliament. That is delegated to the Commander-in-Chief, who is the Prime Minister, and that situation was precipitated not by the Queen, but the Governor. (well, she can, technically, but she doesn't; and the Crown hasn't for over 150 years. The "real" power rests with the Parliament). NOW, all of this is not to say that she couldn't have put a stop to it, but that's another thing entirely. Everyone accusing the Queen of just about anything is blatantly wrong. --- You haven't set a signature for the message boards yet <cite>xGhostchantx posted [p:967892582] in Wow a lot ...

I hate monarchies, look up "Bremove" and you should find a topic or two of me saying it's time to end it as it represents a way of thought that we should be way beyond in the year of our lord, 2022. I want it to end because of that, not because of a fear of the power they hold in which they hold none, at least for the UK. The colony Aden, which is now South Yemen, was a crown colony. Crown Colonies are ran by the monarchy who handpicks a governor of that colony. There are multiple pictures of Liz there doing her royal bullshit. A monarch isn't just sitting idly by while their "property" is actively trying to break free of their control. --- "This is your last dance." <cite>Blue_Inigo posted [p:967892628] in Wow a lot ...

legendary_zell 09/08/22 10:15:33 PM #100:	People who are saying she did nothing are showing an offensive and shocking amount of ignorance. She either ordered, served as the public face for, or silently approved countless atrocities in the name of empire. As an adult. But you don't know about them because they happened in irrelevant countries to irrelevant poor brown people and because her entire image in the West is of a kindly old lady who never did anything in particular. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:967892737] in Wow a lot ...

It was spearheaded in the 1600s by the Roundheads in opposition to Royalists; a king (Charles) was later executed and the Roundheads asserted their control over England. Violently. Constitutionally, since the 1600s, Monarchs can do sweet fuck all without it being approved by Parliament; in practice, this wasn't widely adhered to until after 1700. --- You haven't set a signature for the message boards yet <cite>xGhostchantx posted [p:967893092] in Wow a lot ...
