Maybe cut down on the palaces and private jets then.
Threatens the lives of everybody. Or they will think “good riddance”
90-odd year old woman needed to inform bishops of something that was well known 40 years ago.
They both need to do more, the church is sat on £9.8b and the Queen is worth £500m.
This is not how I play chess
Which is exactly why the Tories don’t care about it, they’ll be alright, or at least they think they will
Man, chess has got a lot more sophisticated since I last played it.
Im sure she’s very worried
Maybe tell the prime minister, oh wait …
Eating the Queen would do more to tackle climate change than a city’s worth of people doing lifetime of veganism and no cars.
And if the poor can’t pay taxes, the queen doesnt get money :O
I wonder what her carbon footprint is.
It won’t be that good for the rich folk either luv.
How would she know
“Queen, whilst laughing and rubbing her hands together, tells bishops climate breakdown threatens the lives of the poor.”
FIFY.
Well if we don’t freeze or starve first, then this is something to look forward too eh?
To be fair to her, she has been saying this for over a decade now – in her speech to the UN in 2010 she highlights that the effects of climate change will have on “smaller, more vulnerable Nations, many of which are in the Commonwealth” – [her speech queued up](https://youtu.be/U9yqUcnVnOA) (but worth a listen to the whole thing)
Agree with The Queen, or whoever wrote the ‘speech’
Too know The Queen supports many Charities.
It won’t The Queens Bank account to set an example by giving a once or a twice off reasonable amounts to Charities who have never received direct help.
Neither would it hurt any of their ‘Lifestyles’, if their households divided the ‘load’ throughout The Nation and give from ‘Their’ pockets’ to the ‘most affected Communities’
Like the CoE care about the poor. The CoE have £8.7 billion in wealth that generates roughly £1 billion a year as income
Is she worried her popularity is at risk or that the monarchy’s days are numbered?
I’m surprised she took time out her day from breast feeding Andrew to talk about the plebs! I might dive in an extra wheely bin looking for some half eaten tea cakes this evening for dinner.

It starts from ‘The Head’
Shouldn’t she tell her government?

In my head this all took place on a chess board
Won’t somebody think of the children?
Fuckin’ hypocrite.
