Girl, six, hit in the face by soldier saluting the Queen during royal visit to Cardiff

I probably shouldn't have and I doubt it was intentional, but I had a laugh when this happened.

Apparently a soldier saluted the Queen and didn't notice the young lady to his right dressed in traditional Wesh garb presenting the Queen with some flowers.

Jeesh what a gaffe !!!

Poor lass, the woman in the background obviously thinks it's funny

Hahaha

Isn't this "Royal" thing just asinine? How about this military thing? If you change your perspective its all laughable. I'm sorry the little girl was hit. I don't get it, slobber all over your equal because "they" tell you they were appointed by a big scary invisible man in the sky. Here Jocko, put on a stupid costume and go to foreign lands and get yourself killed. Are people so gullible?

If you don't pay attention and get this lesson soon, you will experience greater hardship which will grow exponentially until you learn the lesson. I just wan't to save you some pain man, I just want to save you some pain.

Nope I dissagree again. This is a subject thats easy to research as it simply involves asking people what they think about the royals, and whenever I ask that question the answer is nearly always negative. Maybe its location, but in my area people would happily see them sent...away.

I am not sure if i am supposed to laugh or be sad for the little girl.

Well every recent poll suggests otherwise.

Polls are so easily fudged. For example, I mentioned that in my area most people would like to see the royals removed, therefore if a poll was taken from my area but not anywhere else?

Then there's the honesty of the poll, who conducted it, who had acces to alter the figures, etc etc

Polls are useless I'm afraid.

Agree to disagree then.

Just noticed your sigy.

Civilization will not attain perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest

Isn't queeny supposed to be the head of the church or something? Appointed by divine right?

I find that an odd sigy for someone who supports the royals.

Poor sheep is all I can say! For the life of me I cannot see why people are that brainwashed and naive to put these people on a pedal stool!

This would be a poll "in your area", or your social circle? By "your area", you mean what exactly. However, the monarchy has the support of the majority of Britons and this is a consistent theme since records began. You may not like it, but that's the way it is.
