Poked with a stick! The Duchess!

"The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She'll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets!"
December 12, 2010
"Home Secretary Theresa May has confirmed there was 'contact' between the Duchess of Cornwall and one of the protesters who attacked her car."
"But she did not confirm reports the duchess was poked with a stick during student protests on Thursday."
Poked with a stick! The Duchess!
"The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She'll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets!"

How intelligent does one need to be to keep the windows in one's limousine rolled up whilst driving through the revolting peasants?
More intelligent than Camilla, apparently.
Not a stick? Oh no's...
Actually the whole thing was pretty terrifying.
While it seems silly, some of those people appear to be professional anarchist/rioters. Not a safe group to be surrounded by.
A mob (as opposed to a "crowd" of people, though that can be turned into a mob) can be whipped into to doing horrible things.
(I believe the driver might have had control over the window but the whole thing was so stunning his training apparently went down the tubes.)
Those little commie cutthroats were apparently screaming, "Off with their heads". A little incentive for the Ruling Class here to get this country's house in order if they have any sense.
As for Camilla, Chuck was hot for her twat, apparently, not her brain.
I do find myself wondering how much pomp and circumstance the royals will put into their wedding.
Are they really going to broadcast "the prince spent x million for this ring, x million on flowers, x million on food" while their countrymen are going bankrupt?
BTW, where is John Kerry keeping his new $7 million yacht these days?
Anyone think our own anarchists and commies will have the stones to torch it?
Why does "poked with a stick" always carry an air of un-seriousness? It can hurt.
I really don't think the Royals have anything to do with the tripling of tuition costs. If they want to blow a gazillion of THEIR own pounds, let them do it. (It'll stimulate parts of the British economy , that's for sure.)
The crowd was stoning the wrong people.
Shheesh. We don't even have royalty and look what goes on here -- We just have the Clintons.
Queen Ann takes a poke at the Duchess of Cornwall...oh, my paws, whiskers, and dish of half-n-half. Hee.
As for the rest of you scurrilous knavies, for shame, for SHAME.
If you poke us with a stick, do we not bleed?
The Royals, FWIW, are quite wealthy in their right, so they could finance much of their own lifestyle. I believe Her Majesty has title to most of London, if all the money trails were followed.
I'm having a hard time finding this funny . . . our greatest ally falling into anarchy is not amusing in the least.
And even if you don't believe that, a group of moronic thugs attacking anyone like that deserve to have their asses kicked . . . with many sticks.
Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...
Details are missing.
And anarchy is not preferable.
Perhaps, when the car window was cracked, the driver should just have started running over the protesters.

The prime, profitable bits for sure, the Queen holds title to a great deal of private real estate in London much in what is known as "the city" and the ancestral country estates as well.

Only if he sells it to George Bush..
@ FEn --
I saw somewhere that Kerry moved itinto Mass. waters, but claimed he hadn;t gotten a tax bill yet.
That was probably 6 or more weeks ago.
I'm sure you can bing it. (<--- I'm trying to avoid the global google.)
Tripling of college tuition ... it'll still be disgustingly cheap by American standards.

More Commie views…if ONLY they HAD taken their heads! The world would be a much better place had that Jug-Eared, In-bred Cretin, and his horse-faced paramour had their heads placed upon sticks in London. But I’m kind of a REPUBLICAN, in these things.
That having been said, these rioters are a sad lot…yes tuition has tripled, from almost nothing to less than the US average, I should think. A college education is NOT a “right.” And David Gilmour’s son is just a horrid example of the problems in Britain…Didn’t realize what he was climbing on…was protesting tuition hikes, he’s the son of a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE…these are spoiled children complaining about the costs of treats, not adults.
@Joe

Agreed, but this was just as offensive, we've a fair share of spoiled louts and loutettes too.
Somebody is always trying to stick it to Camilla. It's like she has a unique persona that attracts trouble. Unless Queen Elizabeth arranged it like she did to his first wife.
"Anyway, I wouldn’t let that family near me with a sharp stick let alone a sword, you know."
I believe Her Majesty has title to most of London, if all the money trails were followed.
I remember reading something about how the Queen's finances were in disorder and that she was having to skimp. I want to say she was almost broke, or would be soon if she kept her current spending, but my memory of it has faded.
"Why does "poked with a stick" always carry an air of un-seriousness?"
Because it's what you would do to something disgusting that you thought might be dead but might not be dead. Okay, now think about the Duchess.
The juxtaposition of this news story with "Alice in Wonderland" was Althouse at her best...
Right up until she made her last comment, which, while I understand it as written, doesn't seem to fit into the larger tale I thought she was weaving in rather brilliant fashion.
Course then again, maybe Althouse had a sip of the magic potion that Alice was looking for when she was ten feet tall?
A Rabbit sends in a Little Bill?
Did The Rabbit forget where the buck stopped?
Did he lose the big stick he was to supposed to carry while walking softly?
Did he forget what he alone could do for his country and think it better to ask someone else to do it for him?
Was he attempting to follow the advice of an old dead rabbit, "If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend."
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
A Lincoln.
Duchess of York took a hit for her countrymen and may gain some respect
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
A Lincoln.
Adversity, like power, is relative to one's state of mind.
No surprise if Lincoln said that, and no surprise if he didn't.
Frankly, MamaM, I am now more interested in what YOU have to say about what Abraham Lincoln had to say.
Haha...I jest!
With respect, or course.
A: Royal family or not, popular or not, they have the same right(assuming Brit commoners DO still have the right) to go down the street without being attacked.
B: Yeah, 'poked with a stick' can sound funny; as was pointed out, if it had a point? Or the jerk had better aim and went for the face?
C: Their driver needs to be either canned or transferred out of the Exec Protection Division or whatever they call it; when this started he should have simply driven forward. Didn't have to be fast, but when you stop in a situation like that you become a stationary target, so just drive.
At the least, this is a very scary picture of what's coming over there.
