Queen visits Brisbane

[peghorse]

Ibtl..
We would do so well to follow the lead of her country. Strangers in our own land? We are halfway there already thank you immigrant, (or should that be ignorant), prime minister.
How does one understand ones new culture in one generation? Not possible.
And who needs to worry about preserving their new culture when a seat on the EU is the end goal?

I asked Ipsos and they polled a few people in the office which found 69% of respondents thought that would be impossible. The other 58% didn't know what modicum meant. ; )

You don’t really believe in all this statistical nonsense do you?

74.9% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I reckon that the protection and security staff should have been better prepared for the unexpected. Then, just maybe, Her Madge would not have been subjected to exhibit A!

It’s a well known fact that if there’s a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will.

Cheers
Casper

I have seen British footy shows on TV and therefore I have seen some of the local British examples of these primitive tribal groups. Thus the Queen would have seen it all in the land of her birth.

The majority here in Great Britain (still a country) accept the status quo although the snipers try to pretend otherwise. Must say bearcat that there may well be Aussies who don't care a damn but equally the crowds show that there are others who do. You couldn't even agree amongst yourselves as it happens as I recall on that issue (!).

And as for that rather elementary comment Petan about tribal instincts here. You really have a wee bit of a nerve considering the horrible record you have down under for treating what is your own tribal situation (Aboriginies)! All countries have traditions as bearcat has well indicated?? Such discussions on this subject are fair enough as long as we keep a good head and don't resort to curt comment deliberately trying to be stirring rather than be reasonable.

We have asked to have this kept civil, and within the COC. However, this is again going down hill. Rather than have this go further down hill, and have to take further action, this thread will be locked.
