Would you welcome QEII to our fair shores?

Terry

Ronseal.

Just yes or no or don't care answers.
There's already another thread on the 800 years.

Borneo Fnctn

I'd welcome Gordon Browne. As for the Queen, she can go and **** herself.

Nforce

If she brings the deeds to the 6 counties....sure.;)

prinz

Like any other head of state visit it wouldn't really bother me.

ahara

After what the vikings did I don't think any Scandanavian head of state should be welcome either!

Are you talking about the ship or the British monarch?.

galwayrush

Then if it's not there someone else will complain about that.
It's a lose lose situation.
So what I did was say that I pretend I have an atari jaguar.
That way I catered to the people who want that in the poll and, for those who don't, you can look at it as me taking the piss out of all those who do want it in a poll. You obviously missed my subtle sarcasm though.

Oh, wait. You're banned, so you can't answer.

I have never welcomed any heads of state to this country so I wouldn't start with her. What would be the purpose of such a visit anyway.

No.

Only if she traded in the 6 counties.

Better if she sold some of her treasures and bailed us out.;)

Wouldn't give two ****s if she came or not tbh

Dudess

Wouldn't care. And she's an old woman and not exactly Hitler.

If she couldnt be arsed to come in her last 999 yrs she can stay and rot somewhere else

It was precisely because of people with attitudes like the above, that she didn't come :pac:

But would you have wanted her to come here when she couldn't be arsed?

Serious she is a half an hour away and never visited?? Has she not checked out Ryanair or does she know that most people here really couldnt give a toss if she came or not. I mean what sap would actually turn out to greet her - surely the day of the Jackeen is gone (or is it?)

allthedoyles

Hey Terry , even though you clearly stated that this poll was ' not the ship' , I think some people think they are voting on a cruise liner coming to Ireland

Dudess

That doesn't make sense. So you take umbrage at her "not bothering" to visit despite being so close (it's a bit more complicated than "not bothering" to be fair)... yet you're also saying people don't give a sh1t about her...

She never visited because some nutbag who fancied himself as an Irish patriot would take a pop at sending her to the great throne in the sky. Don't think she's all that eager to be meeting Diana again tbh

She has only 2 reasons not to have visited in her 100 years or whatever it is:
1. She doesnt like Ireland
2. She gets informed by her PR machine that it might be a bit sensitive to visit in case the media sees anyone heckling her or whatever which would cause a media frenzy that omg the Queen isnt loved by everyone.

TBH i dont really care if she came or not - to me she means nothing but blind nepotism and is a symbolism of some of the worst things of our "modern" society.

Tell me what has the Queen ever done but be born into Monarchy - i fully respect any elected or self-made person but the Queen to come expecting to be treated like royalty - go bow servant

I presume you vented your anti-monarchist fury when many many many other royals from across the globe have visited us?

I'd say, worst case scenario, her safety being under threat, and best case scenario, a hostile reception, are pretty big reasons for her not visiting also.
The reasons you give are spurious to say the least.
But as you say, people don't give a sh1t about her... so what's the problem with her not visiting here?

Mont wrote: »

Agreed, but she's still a head of state - doesn't matter how she got there.

I don't see how it's a given she'd expect to be treated as royalty - especially in Ireland.

I don't think she should visit actually - not because I'd have any objection to a visit by her, but because the hatred and bitterness of certain people here would not be nice to see.

I'd imagine she wouldn't give a **** about people being catholic.

admiralofthefleet

if she apologises for 800+ years of crimes against irish citizens and the utter disrespect and contempt she showed towards our heads of state for the last 6 decades then maybe.

Yeah we could trade Wexford for them......

But seriously, no I don't think she should come, might just end up being another "love Ulster parade" style catastrophe, besides she has already graced our shores, she was in Belfast a few times over the last few years.


Here's a funny video.

Agree 100%, I'd be horrified and embarrassed at the likely reception she'd get of a minority of vocal diehards. Same goes for any visiting head of state.
