In a press conference ahead of the start of Wimbledon, he added: "It should be personal preference. I'll have to wait and see. I'll have a chat with the guys. I don't want to be bowing and the person I'm playing with walk straight past or the other way around. You obviously need to have an agreement before you go on. I'll have to speak to the organisers about it."

 

 

Pretty straightforward question from my perspective: NO CHANCE!

 

Just glad, really, he's seriously thinking about snubbing this utterly asinine convention. What is it about her that dictates conventional deference? Has she hit upon a solution to global conflict or discovered a cure for cancer or something? Of course not. She's a physically and intellectually normal individual, and an inordinately privileged one at that.

 

So, if AM was to canvass my opinion, which of course he won't, I'd simply advise him to dispel any notion of a sycophantic contortion of the body in front of this grey individual. The end.

Poor Andy will get slaughtered again by our southern comrades for this. Privatise the royal family, that'll save some money for the public purse.

 

I'd go for that, especially if it was carried out under the TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings; Protection of Employment) Regulations. This means that she could still be employed, by the new company, as a queen for around 12 months, then be redeployed as something like a project manager with her 'earnings' protected for up to two years, then be put onto the rate for the new job.

 

She might then decide to take early retirement on a 'gold-plated' pension and be given a leaving do, at which she could be given something from the job to keep, like a crown or a horse maybe.

I despise the royal family.

 

Why should we bow to anyone just because of an accident of birth? Just exactly what is it that makes them better than anyone else?

 

One of the main reasons I never followed in my Dad's footsteps into the RAF is I could never, ever swear allegance to the old sow.

 

I'd happily behead the lot of them. Parasites.

You're not that very far off the mark. I've got no real problems with the Queen. I just think it's a bit anchronistic to have a Monarch as Head of State.

 

What we need is a Scottish Socialist Republic. Led by President Sheridan.

 

Eh ? Making up words is not allowed when you're picking the bones of people's punctuation.

Completely agree. Except for that bit about Scottish Socialist Republic, and the Sheridan thing. Other than that, yes.

 

Wouldn't behead them. But quite gladly see them disappear into obscurity.

 

No, he shouldn't bow. Not out of any political statement; it's just completely unnecessary.

So you'd happily behead someone because of 'an accident of birth'? Interesting mindset...

Difference is, MP's are elected and accountable. And can be tried in a court of law (I'm looking at you Jim Devine)

Not for an accident of birth. For the fact that they have leeched off the state for their extravagent lifestyles. For that, they had a choice.

 

Anyway, I was being sarcastic, French Revolution and all that.
