  1. The Queen Mother presents the Squadron Standard to the RNZAF No. 75 Squadron, 1958-02-06

    In a formal ceremony held at the Showgrounds in Palmerston North, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, presented the Royal New Zealand Air Force's No. 75 Squadron with a Standard for ‘specially outstanding operations’. This image depicts Elizabeth’s arrival in a Ford Zodiac Limousine. Elizabeth’s 1958 visit to Palmerston North was part of a wider Royal tour of New Zealand which also included stops in Auckland, Kaitaia, Hamilton, Napier, New Plymouth, and Wellington. In the South Island, she visited Blenheim, Dunedin, Invercargill and Christchurch.

  2. O Quel Cul T’as: The Pat, The Politics and The Perfectly Fake Marriage

    In 1969, Kenneth Tynan named a nude revue after a French pun about a woman's backside. In 2026, the forty-seventh president of the United States provided the perfect sequel. The gesture lasted less than a second. The politics behind it have been building for decades.

  3. About the recent visit of King Charles to the United States: "On his last state visit, Charles was in the shade of Diana’s radiance. On this one, he radiated an élan of his own — a class act, shining next to the boorish Trump":

  4. Can you believe the deluded shit we tell ourselves about the Monarchy and it's relevance?

    Look at the headlines today and tell me in what way has Trump been 'tamed?!'

  5. Nice to see Americans who are NOT impressed by our relic of a national leader.

    Sucking up to 'royals' is what's got America into this mess (that and the inherent racism)

  6. RE: flipboard.com/@flipboarduk/cel

    Did he tell the one about the President having a better plan for getting out of Vietnam than out of Iran?
    Or maybe the 'Expectant Widow" line which was a hoot the other day!

    Yeah sure, the President whose mind is for shit and clearly a Russian Asset is going to change track now that the King has had a word.
    Will Trump even remember it next week?

    This absurd pantomime....

  10. What is the point of this exercise?
    Why did the Epstein Class dream it up?
    Does Westminster think a word from the King and then Trump will stop being the fucking Russian asset he is?

    What a ridiculous pantomime...

  12. Out of desperation I'm watching the arrival of our unelected head of state in the USA. It occurs to me that if this was easyJet they'd have turned the plane around by now and it would be heading off to Alicante with a fresh load of passengers.

  13. They do not respect us, the Royal Visit is a mistake, from a man quite notorious for mistakes right now...

    Also, time Australia got it's own flag instead of that confusing Colonial relic.
