Re: OT: For the list members in the UK

[Stanley Halpin]

Thanks for your commentary Cotty.  Meg’s grandmother (from Cornwall) was a 
staunch Royalist and the attitude was passed down; I tend to be more interested 
in who the person is than in the office or position they hold.

And thanks for the update on Stefan! I remember meeting him with you and Bob at 
the marketplace in northwest London, and then again a few years later at GFM. 
Give him regards from this side of the pond.

Re: OT: For the list members in the UK

Filmed her many times over the years, she always seemed very pleasant. Of 
course she would never acknowledge us mere mortals with cameras! Did however 
meet the king (as Prince of Wales) in 2018. I was commissioned by Associated 
Press to film his Easter message to the Commonwealth. Stefan was with me as a 
second camera. There was about a dozen people in the room we had set up in 2 
hours before. We had to be lined up to greet him when he came in and I was told 
to stand nearest the door. In he came rubbing his hands together with a broad 
smile and I was introduced to him. Shook hands and his aide said Steve is the 
cameraman sir, to which he replied ‘Oh you’re the cameraman! Well it’s a bloody 
good job you’re here then isn’t it!’ and roared with laughter. He then met Stef 
and the reporting team.

He gave his address to camera (using a teleprompter - a screen in front of the 
lens with his speech scrolling on it) in one perfect take. The plan was to then 
re-set for a one-to-one interview with an AP reporter, with mine and Stef’s 
cameras covering. The aide whispered in his ear and he looked at his watch and 
with a cheery wave to us all and was gone!

I’m no royalist - I tolerate them. To be fair Charles does have a good attitude 
to things of an ecological nature. They’re too embedded in our society and we 
have no lust for change as a country, so they stay on. Maybe during the next 
civil war!

It was about 1/4- then, I think. That’s 1s and 4d, not a farthing!

Incidentally one of the papers pointed out that we will once again start having 
notes and coins with different sovereigns on, which we haven’t had since 
decimalisation in 1974. So people younger than about 50 haven’t seen 
mixed-sovereign currency before - something I’d never thought about. When I 
were a lad we had coins in our pockets with the head of Victoria on.

Re: OT: For the list members in the UK

[Bob Pdml]

Er, no we haven’t and no it isn’t.

141,725 people from a party membership of 172,437 voted for one of two 
candidates chosen by the party’s MPs. Of those 141,725 people only 56% voted 
for her. So about 80,000 people in a population of about 47 million who can 
vote in a general election.

Fewer than half of her party’s MPs voted for her, so she doesn’t even command 
her own party in parliament. Some of them are already talking about getting rid 
of her before the next scheduled general election, in 2024.

She herself has never achieved anything politically, except to become leader of 
her party, and that only because she has the support of the ultra right wing
