The Queen is returning to Buckingham Palace.

[Sannum]

According to CNN.

She is not staying at the saftey of Balmoral reading to schoolchildren while the world waits with and us unaware where she is.

Hate to say it, but Monarchy does have a point.

Blair should get his ass home as well.

1. Blair is going to London & returning to G8

His statement.

2. Her Majesty

has shown more courage than a certain fake Texan I know.

5. Oh, please!

She'll be flown in safety and surrounded by security. Buck House is probably the safest place for her to be: no such security for the rest of us Londoners. Let's not get sentimental about that parasite.

7. It is a statement.

Georgie would have been safe in the WH on 9/11. He went to a bunker after flying all over the country.

Actions speak loudly in times like these, even if they are only ceremonial.

3. I guess this is one way to shut down the G8 meeting

they weren't getting anything accomplished anyway.

BTW: Where's George. Flying around in AF1?

[teryang]

9. instead of American fiscal irresponsibility the G8 theme

...will be terra, terra, terra!

From the Rheinhard Heydrich school of diplomacy.

4. Well, I'll say this for the Royals, they have shown leadership

during times of crisis-- Queen Elizabeth had quite the role model in her own Mom during the Blitzkrieg of WWII.

6. I'm certainly no monarchist but they did

remain in Bucks palace during the Blitz, visiting the East End damage some mornings pouring tea for the injured and homeless. Its part myth part truth but even to an anti-royalist like myself its quite comforting.

8. Hats off to Her Majesty

Her parents would be proud.
