The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have added so much to the working Royals. The King has a staunch ally in this couple. They are respectful and wonderful at the same time. They don't try to outshine the King and Queen, but to try to support them in whatever way they can. Hear, Hear!
I’m really happy to see Edward and Sophie out more. I would also like to see more of Princess Beatrice (not Eugenie) and Edo. The huge generational gap among senior royals is already causing a scaling back of duties. especially with Charles, Catherine, and Anne partially sidelined. More, younger backup support is needed.
Not Eugeine with fish floundering husband jack and harry and Megan. They can't be trusted either.
I have always liked Sophie and her warm personality and sweet smile. 😍
100% agree
Carol, you put this beautifully, but it is so true of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their children that you can simply say it as it is ❤
My word..the Edinburghs look better and better every day.
They certainly do!
@@GingerKraut absolutely agree with you!
I don’t understand why people choose not to vote! The lack of interest in who leads the country is beyond me. I bet these people are the first to complain 😊❤🇦🇺
I couldn't agree more.
Maybe because they don't know who to vote for.
I voted ,but think all parties are a shower of sh*t. I didn't want conservatives in, neither did I want labour in. I don't agree with their policies. The same goes for Reform and the green party.
When you think they are all crap how do you choose?
I wanted to vote but am on holiday abroad. Applied for a postal vote in good time but it failed to arrive before I departed! The only time in my adult life I've not voted. I'm 62.
Here in Australia voting is compulsory, not a choice. Some disinterested people do a donkey vote but every adult is expected to vote . Same for referendums as well.
It would be better if people didnt vote at all, maybe if that happened, (unrealistic obviously) but if it did, then that would send a clear message. We want them ALL out and start again. Certainly this needs to happen in Australia, it's going down the drain and makes no difference who is elected, they all follow the dsame despicable agenda and it's not at all for the people.
As a 76 year old woman I am truly frightened for our future.
Prepare accordingly
Now you know how we in the USA felt when Trump won in 2016.
I as well in the United States of America. Biden and his regime is very scary.
@hebertfamily1044 Trump did alot of good America first! Not Biden who loves open borders, high prices, gas over 4.00 gal with trump1.96, food, food shortage, welfare for those not of this country.
It’s getting pretty scary in Australia too, especially Melbourne with all the thugs who get off , with no consequences for their horrific crimes …. Our Government needs a dose of Common Sense🕊️
River, I have lived through an awful lot of elections and the debate about the disparity between vote share and number of seats happens every time. (By vote share, even the Tories would have had more seats!). Governments in this country are cyclical - starting a new cycle now, everything will seem great and gradually over the next years voices of dissension will arise and grow louder with the seats gradually reducing in each election until eventually the Government collapses and it all starts again. Frankly, I wouldn't want to be PM as it is a poisoned chalice.
Don't worry, the job comes with a handy little pension.
Your government is a mess to like us in America
I totally agree 🤴 🙏
Phục vụ vương quốc thì cũng tới lúc “ thấm độc “ thôi ….
Yes, the pendulum swings with regularity. And God only knows what greater cycles we are subject to -- Western civilization seems to have a death wish at the moment.
Keeping your country in my prayers just as I’m keeping my country the beautiful America in my prayers
I do not trust any of these politicians
happy birthday River. I have a dear sister and a wonderful cousin both born in July. Cheers.
Well we all need to pray over your elections too. All the best 😊
Amen Prayers For All.
I am right there with you.😢
I pray enough Americans see the damage the Left is causing and yearn for America of yesteryear and vote accordingly.
By 2050, England will be unrecognizable.
Indeed. You'll find that most Countries change in a period of twenty five years. There will be many changes of Government within that period.
It already is, IMO. The English have had their rights eroded at every turn and it appears that if you have never contributed to the system you are entitled to everything, whereas if you have worked hard and done your best, there is nothing for you other than the heart breaking knowledge that it is you who are funding the feckless.
After my recent visit to London, first time in 8 years, it was definitely different.. and not for the better. Only thing that seemed to stay the same was the wonderful black cab drivers, and the helpful bus drivers.
So will the USA. We are witnessing the outright destruction of White Western European culture and traditions in both our noble countries. God help us, pray that Trump wins and reverses all the wrongs Biden has unleashed on this world. The USA as well as the UK are a force for good in the world, never forget that.
try 2025
The Duchess of Edinburgh looked sublime to me, in that palest of grey. Uber feminine, and light for the season, complementing her complexion and eyes! LOVED how a camera angle caught the swoops of her hairstyle coordinating with the swoop of her hat and angled feathers. AND THE DUKE! WOWZA! Crisp! Dapper! Handsome! LOVED the contrasting light and dark of his ensemble and the coordinating collection of colors. WOWZA!
Yes! They both have upped their style game here lately.
@@TheEmpressMouse I hope Viscount Wessex doesn't find it too uncool to see his dad as a role model in sooooo many ways, not the least of which is his style. We've already seen in the past few years that Lady Louise has like-minded taste with her mom and that means more lovely ladies photos whenever LL joins the RF for events. Win-win for everyone!!
I couldn't agree more! Great insight! 🤩
@@CherubChick1221 Thank you 🙂
Oh, I wish William would wear a helmet while on those scores. I know it's not a cool look but God forbid anything happens.
Now we've got a leader who doesn't know what a woman is after years of marriage and two children that's worrying for someone who rules this country but jumps on what is woke ridiculousness. For votes.
I wonder what will happen now with the Palestine protesters when they find out Starmer’s wife is Jewish. Maybe at long last they’ll be removed.
His definition is dependent on who's asking him at the time. As the saying goes he bears the creases of the person of the last person who sat on him
Managed to fly the Union Jack upside down and it shows how manipulative he is that he doesn't even have the gumption to fly our flag so here it is! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴. He also completely ignored the N Irish. Already a loser and 66% of people voted against him so the landslide is a joke! Manipulation of county boundaries. Reform polled nearly 14% of the votes and have 5 MPs. The Liberal Democrats (neither liberal nor democratic and destroying our towns and cities as the dictatorial autocrats that they are) polled just under 13% of votes and have 70 seats - that's right - 65 seats more with less than 1% difference in votes! How is this democracy? 🤬
Another true sign of a leftie politician, reality rarely intrudes.
@@jslater9442 yes indeed.
Poor Larry, I bet he is sat in his quarters rolling his eyes and no doubt thinking as he is grooming himself with his paw to his mouth...not another one, here we go again! As he has been the only thing consistent in number 10 for years IMO. 😸
Larry the cat for PM.
@@mythicalmermaid5757 👍👍
Larry has been tweeting on X and he is still in charge.
@@phylly5576 Purrrfect 🐾
@@mythicalmermaid5757 At this point I'd happily vote for Larry, he'd probably end up being the best PM we've had in decades.
As the official car drove up with Mr Sunak in it, to tender his resignation, the door was opened by a female member of the Palace Staff. Mr Sunak got out and made a point of thanking her. However, when Sir Kier rocked up to form the new government and the same member of staff opened his car door…nothing! He didn’t even look in her direction. Things like that just show me what we are dealing with.
I do agree, Not a huge fan of Starmer the person, but I did like Sunak the man even though he and I would have nothing in common politically or status in life. Odd isn't it.
Sunak??? Betrayed the nation.
Actions speak louder than words.....says it all. 😮😢
Over exited, not nasty.
Well the funny thing is the working
Man's party has a leader who is a SIR.
Labour voters are pathetic he couldn't give
A dam about workers. He's an elite globalist who will force his woke agendas
On everyone.
The Duchess of Edinburgh always looks fabulous. I wish the media covered her and Prince Edward more.
I do too! They are so cute together. Sue Smith calls her secret weapon Sophie. She is incredibly smart and I don’t know if she has a seat at the United Nations or just goes in to give speeches?
What do you expect she is Welsh 🏴@@tudorrosey76
Agree, both starmmer and sunak spoke of each other kindly. But Starmmer going on about Sunak being an Asian and the first Hindu prime minister and how hard it must have been 🙄. I’ve never heard Sunak mention that. Let the wokery begin.
We can all say what we want about Sunak but he never complained that he wasn’t successful in politics because of his Indian heritage. (As far as I know) I find it highly inappropriate of Starmmer to mention that, like why was that even necessary unless for more points from his kind of people.
@@glory4645
No doubt when the British Public complain about immigration - Starmer has a first class example of how positive and effective immigration is for the country. Starmer is a Barrister, he knows exactly what he’s doing, he chooses his words carefully - they are the “tools of his trade”!
I’m not saying anything derogatory about immigration merely giving my opinion as to why he highlighted this particular point.
@@malaika2940 I'll quite happily complain about the illegal ones. All they do is use up resources that should be for actual refugees, those in true need of a safe haven. Not forgetting all the poor and homeless, who also need help.
Those who come here legally, I'll welcome any day of the week, and think it wonderful they want to study, work or even start a new life in the UK.
@@lucretialee3691I have the same opinion here in the U.S. We have a serious poverty issue here,homeless people,our veterans are treated horribly. But open the Borders and let anyone come in. Give them housing, thousands in welfare benefits,etc. But my husband has no insurance coverage. Born and raised American. Working since he’s 15. We had to pay out of pocket for surgery for him. But cover the illegals.
Sir Starmer white boy should be the Tory
And Sunak should be running the Labour
Party. It's quite funny.
Prince William should still wear a helmet! Protect that great, royal brain!
Agree.
A priori, his brother can be helmet free.😁
Absolutely! He needs to be safe , that’s the way he can in the future,when he rightfully ascends to the throne that belongs to him, show not only the British and the Commonwealth people but the entire world what a REAL KING is all about. God save and protect HRH The Prince of Wales and his beautiful family.
@@jodycampbell3895The Royals hardly the most important thing in our minds right now.
@@jodycampbell3895 King Charles is a real King, and William will have very large shoes to fill. The King is cultured, intelligent, hugely knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects, a polished diplomat, and a man of strong principle.
I think a lot of us didn't really have an apetite for a labour government...people just wanted the tories out and rightly so, ive been conservative all my life but i agree they did terribly and deserved to lose. They need to learn their lesson and rebuild themselves....looking divine as ever my dear River ❤🇬🇧
James Cleverly @@Lana.S.Boyd49
I echo your post completely- I went reform this time although I knew labour would win. To be honest living in Wales we have seen very clearly the corruption within Labour - yes Gethin we saw your 🐊 tears yet suffered no consequences. I remember Tony Blair and his WMD that turned out never existed! I think there are the same issues the western world over
I agree totally with your comment.
Tories will never do what's good for your people. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wearing rose tinted glasses.
@FlowerBot As a conservative person who despises socialism I disagree, things will definitely get worse from here on...like I said the conservative party needs real conservatives I believe the party we had were pretend conservatives because they definitely didn't govern like them...they governed as greens. They let everyone down because they simply didn't listen. This is there punishment.
Happy Birthday, River! ❤️
Not yet!! xxx Birthday soon!
Love that KC has released a new Highgrove estate Honey! They're only 500 jars and they are NUMBERED!!! 💀
Really?? How marvelous! ☺️☺️
Touche, King Charles! Oh, SNAP!! 😜🤣🤣🤣
Nice slapdown KC3. Keep it ip. Now just remove the titles😂
That has made my day!
@@blueskyeyes7... It is what Meghan wants though BECAUSE she is aware Titled people cannot enter American Politics.
Although I didn't always agree with Thatcher I know she loved her country and ppl far more than any Prime Minister since....
Tell that to the thousands she made redundant.
@@peteregan7864hence why I said I didn't always agree with her, she had her faults like every person but she loved this country, we only have to look to starmer and khan an who they stalking behind them in corbyn a man who has met with hezbollah an the like, so I'd rather take my chances with her than who we have now, ppl who love power making the rich richer and the poor poorer..
@@peteregan7864I guess the residents in the Falklands thought differently
@@jslater9442, the Falklanders certainly didn't want to become Argentians though did they ?
@@jslater9442 Any Prime Minister would have defended a British territory. I'm talking about the decimation of British industry that she perpetrated leaving thousands of British citizens unemployed and impoverished. Never before on the death of a Prime Minister did people take to the streets chanting 'Ding dong the witch is dead.'
I think people have to experience how bad a labour government is before they see the light lolol
Hope they are roundly ousted in 2029 with a party of sound British values.
Only 54% of the electrate voted on Thursday, 46% did not bother to vote. Were they the Tories who could not transfer their allegiance to another Party? I wish we were like Australians who have to vote
A lot of people don't bother to vote, but will find time to moan about government
Aussie here: I have never heard anyone wish we did not have to vote. Lining up to vote is a chance to connect to people and complain! You are fined if you don’t vote. It’s our civic duty to vote and it means no one rejects the results, even if we don’t like it.
@@MarianneOz Personally I agree and have voted in every election for which I am franchised.
@@warwickshirewolfpack If one does not vote one does not have a right to complain but those indolent people will not take any notice and will moan.
I like the Australian system. Do you guys have to show up personally and show proof you are an Australian citizen? This is a huge fear. Illegals and mail in votes in the US will definitely be a concern in the our elections!
oh yes, this was refreshing. I loved your reporting and I didn’t miss Megan or Harry at all. It was a relief. Those two are so annoying and draining on society. Thanks for a great video.❤❤❤
My 13-year-old daughter just had a brain tumor removed three weeks ago and we are so thankful that it was benign and an easy to remove tumor. I'm happy the little girl with the rare form of brain tumor is doing as well as she can be ❤️. It's a scary thing.

Sophie was breathtaking in her outfit! PW and PE looked so handsome as usual ! I know PC would have looked phenomenal had she felt up to attending!
Thank goodness this portrait of the King looks much more realistic and royal .
Thrilled P Ann is better ! We love The Princess Royal so much ! She looked great in the red outfit
Thatcher and Golda were formidable women who were unapologetic in the way the loved the country they ran
Thank goodness there are those of us who remember Thatcher and Golda
Admired Gilda. A wise and selfless woman!!
admired both women, although lets not deny them their faults too. What we have now sadly is so wishy washy and mealy mouthed with corporate having far too much influence on both sides because money doesn't care.
We we don't have leadership like that
Anymore. The west is in serious trouble.
@@PatienceSteele-iw2cje
I hope Prince William is not going to be a cronie of Gates and WEF !
Bingo! KC is buddies with Klaus Schwab and helped him set up WEF.
I think that your reaction to this election is similar to how I felt when Biden was elected in the US. Not that I loved Trump, but I dreaded Biden. However, one of the best ways to show people the error in their judgment is to let them have what they want. It may be the same with you in the UK and Labour. Best of luck from the US.
Thankyou & Prayers for your country. We seem to be in the same situation both in America & here in Britain 🇬🇧
I think you're right here. Like River, I say that all we can do is see how this government works out. If they do well. I'll be happy to have been wrong. If they do badly, well I didn't vote for them.
Thank you for the good wishes, my dear. And wishing you the same for your upcoming election.
I grew up on a Northern Council estate, all of my friends were Miners daughters. My Dad was the ONLY Tory voter. He was known as the " Gentleman" dressed impeccably and was descended from wealthy land owners/ Race horse breeders. Even today they still burn effigies of Thatcher! Needless to say it doesn't go down well when I remind them that they now all own their ex council homes, got over forty thousand pounds payout from the mine closures, plus a job at Nissan Sunderland,all thanks To Margaret Thatcher! I thought she was tremendous. This country prospered under her, The jobs were there for those who wanted them, and she took no crap! A strong woman in a man's world who was stabbed in the back.
Thank you for focusing on Britain's current events, the REAL Royal Family, (not focusing on the Harkles), and the devastation that Hurricane Beryl has caused. It looks like Hurricane Beryl is headed towards Texas, but it won't be as bad. Just a lot of rain. It was a great video!
We need the rain in Texas❤️
15:33 she was a handsome woman. I adored her from the moment I saw one of her interviews where she was saying that it’s not necessary to start giving free milk and bread for children in school, it’s a socialist program. When I was growing up in socialist Romania in the 90’s, I was part of this program. My mom did afford to get us milk and bread for breakfast even though we were so poor. I had one pair of pants that I used for two straight years when I was 10 years old, that’s how poor we were. I hate socialism because I know it personally.
Your right it's sad to see here in the west that some take democracy for granted.
Eastern Europe know how precious freedom is.
Edina, I grew up in England in the 60's (we hadn't long been out of Government rationing, in fact my sister [who was born in the early 50's] had a ration book in her own name). The reason we were given free school milk etc wasn't because our parents couldn't afford it (both of my Parents worked very hard to enhance our lives), but because of the poor health of our children in the society of those days. Nothing to do with Socialism. Purely to do with Caring.
If Labour last 6 months without a fall out, I'll be surprised, also as 60% of the opposition are either left or right - there is no way Labour can keep the Labour government pleasing both sides of 'the opposition'.
They government does not have please the opposition but the people who elect them
@@JaniceDove-tt1jz The 'opposition' is within the Labour party. In Labour there are globalists like Starmer, then left wing like Rayner and extreme left wing.
So refreshing to see civility in politics, living in the US, I find civility in short order,I am ashamed to admit that UK politics is outside my realm. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing King Charles greet your new PM with grace, gentility and kindness. I agree, Margaret Thatcher was a force to ber recorded with. Sharp brain, backbone of steel, cloaked in brilliant civility.
River, I thought of curtains when I saw the Queen’s dress,
I like the portrait of the king!
The Queen did a wonderful thing by inviting the young children, it was lovely.Meanwhile William had a jolly ride round the grounds of Windsor. What fun!!!
Hurricane Beryllium hit the Caribbean hard, I am pleased the King sent condolences and prayers.
Happy belated River. Hope you had a fabulous day.
I can't tell you the number of times I've got downright vitriolic comments, simply from remarking that Mrs Thatcher was an example of a truly strong woman.
I don't even say it as a supporter of hers. I was a working class child in Northern England when she first came to office, and she did us no favours.
But when I look at so many women of today who shout from the roof tops about how strong they are, whilst acting quite the opposite, of course I'm going to make comparisons.
Mrs Thatcher was a woman in a heavily male dominated world, and she never used The Woman Card. She saw the playing field and she played on it, in the same way as the men.
They respected her for that, even when they didn't like her.
Me too. Never voted for her but she was an intelligent able hard working lady in charge of her brief and respected at home and abroad. She would have had Johnson swept up and put out with the rubbish on day one. I know from stories that she was always considerate of her staff. Even supplying supper if working late , and a whisky if not driving. @@Redrosewitch
I must say, your election process is very quick, very refreshing. I am Canadian and our elections cycle is pretty decent too compared to the US who always seem to be campaigning. It never seems to end. Must be exhausting!
It is exhausting! It’s too bad that the House that makes the laws, make the ones that benefit themselves. It should be a law that only ads for six months before the election are permitted.
Yes, in the US, it gets to be so sickening! It is one big campaign with no stopping! Begging for money! I certainly hope that the UK has better luck with the liberals in control than the US has had. Our country has undergone so many bad changes, in my opinion. Going too far to the left! Please keep your eyes and ears open, UK friends. You don't want to lose your rich heritage and your country's identity! God save the King! God bless the USA! 😄
It also seems somewhat corrupt that Lib dems (who are destroying our local towns and cities - dictatorial autocrats, nothing liberal or democratic about them) had just about 13% of the national vote and 70 seats. Reform had nearly 14% of the share and have just five seats - you tell me how that is a fair representation of the vote and therefore democracy? Also Labour with a peer of the realm, multi millionaire as lead of a "socialist" party, had just under 34% of the vote on the lowest turn out since 1945 yet had a "landslide victory". A few years back they had 31% of the vote and resoundingly lost the election. Your tell me how this democracy works because for me take aside the corruption of all mainstream political parties, it is t democracy at all.
Why is it “Pretty decent” when you elect Trudeau to ruin your country. Lock up and freeze bank accounts for people who has legitimate issues and worries.
@@judywright4241 Indeed! And State elections should be at the same time as the Presidential ones or not? This way you would 4 years before it starts again. We get a lot of news coverage from US politics and even I, who has no investment in it, get tired of it.
Turning in her grave? The Lady's not for turning.
This South Carolina gal loved Margaret Thatcher. In America Margaret Thatcher was fondly known as “Iron Pants Maggie”. You’re right River they don’t make them like her anymore.
Saw Margaret Thatcher speak at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) some years ago (I was an adjunct there a few years later). The Iron Lady rolled in with that handbag and made a great speech. She totally dominated that huge arena filled primarily with eager military cadets. A memorable experience! After she left office, she served as Chancellor at the College of William and Mary in Virginia (my alma mater). Some people see that chancellor position as strictly honorary, but not Thatcher. She visited often and took an active interest in university affairs and events.
I lived in UK during her reign, on the wrong side of her particular class war. She had some great personal strengths and was indeed articulate; but she also began the destruction of much that was positive in UK, particularly her attack on housing and all the other services that were the responsibility of local councils. Don't put her on too high a pedestal.
She was called "Thatcher the Milk Snatcher" in 🇬🇧 Horrible individual.
They also shafted her.
Amen!
Dont know if you know River? but that Tie William wore, was made from recycled Plastic.
Good for him. My menfolk like getting clothes online from Cotton Traders. They have some casual trousers made from recycled plastic bags, and they're excellent.
@@Redrosewitch is that for real?
A lot of clothing brands have been making garments from recycled plastic for the last five or so years 😊👍

Me too!
Britain has survived labour governments in the past very well , and there is no reason to believe that it won’t do so again.
I read two reports in my newsfeed this weekend from The BBC and The Independent. What struck me was that the Civil Service had been working against the Conservatives during their time. The Civil Service has been working with Labour since January 2024 to get ready for a change of Government!! One shadow labour MP has had daily telephone calls with a senior civil servant. The civil service was supposed to be working at the Behest of the elected Government. No wonder the Tories had difficulty.Absolutely disgusting. I'd like to know who put the Senior Civil Servants in Post - could it have been Blair and Brown?
No dog in the fight but I must say I was sorry to see that Andrew Brigden lost his seat - as Winston Churchill apparently stated “The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.
Sorry to see the UK voted in the Labour party - after 14 years of the Liberal woke clown show in Canada we have been broken and it will likely take many years to become what we once were. 🍁🍁
I voted for Nigel, even though as a Scot, it was pointless. My compatriots are congenitally left wing and consistently vote Labour or SNP 🤷♀️ I wanted Nigel to have numbers, and I couldn't face voting for any other party. The next 5 years will be rough 😢
Happy Birthday River - many happy returns on the day!
It pleased me to no end to see Tony Hudgell and Lyla O'Donovan having tea with HM The Queen, and Mr. Hudgell receiving his most excellent and well-deserved award. Congratulations to them both!
Note to the Harkles fans: this is what *not* being and acting like a victim looks like!
I got to meet Margaret Thatcher in Dallas at a book signing. I admired her very much and loved to listen to Parliament debates. I was convinced that part of her success was the fact that among the rumbly voices of the men being raucous, you could hear her voice and understand every word over their constant commenting. She was firm, humorous, quick-witted, and unfazed.
River Dear !! Yay !! You're beautiful as always !! 🥰🤗
The 100-year-old veteran must have been just out of school when WWII happened. I have a tender feeling for those of that generation.
The new portrait of HMTK is wonderful.
I have a soft place in my heart too for those who served in WWII
Still with a youthful smile too.

3 prime ministers in 2 years, wonder if this is a royal record?
The Prime Ministerial game of musical chairs saw five administrations in 1834 to 1835: Lord Grey til July 1834, then Lord Melbourne from July 1834, then Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington from November 1834, then Sir Robert Peel from December 1834, returning to William Lamb, Lord Melbourne in April 1835.
1885 to 1886 saw four administrations alternating between Mr Gladstone, and Lord Salisbury.
1922 to 1924 saw Lloyd George out in October 1922 to be replaced by Bonar Law who lasted til May 1923, and who was replaced,by Ramsay MacDonald in January 1924, before being replaced by Stanley Baldwin in November 1924; which is four administrations in two years.
RIVER!!!!! I haven’t watched yet, starting now but THREE DAYS until I get to go to the Scottish Highlands!!!!!! London the week after!!!!!!! I’m so excited that I can’t contain it. Lol
hope you have a great time
Enjoy , but bring a brolly… just in case 🌂
Have a wonderful time. I hope you make wonderful memories and pick up a few new friends along the way 😊
Please bring warm jacket and brolly weather not been great. Hope you have a good time.
Definitely bring an umbrella! ☔️ It’s been a very rainy year so far.
Hope you enjoy your holidays. 🧳
Why is the rest of Europe seem to be going right and England is the only one going left?
Because the horror of Tory mismanagement and corruption for the last 14 years.
Because there are some gullible fools atm and swallow the bs fed to them by a party who took us into an illegal war based on lies and who have a landslide victory with 66% of people voting against them! You tell me! Reform had just under 14% of the votes and 5 seats. Lib dems who are dictatorial autocrats, imho, had just under 13% of the votes and have 70 seats! You tell me how that is democracy! 🤬
Indeed😳
I hope we're bucking the trend and not just lagging behind. The size of the reform vote shows we have plenty of people with very right-wing beliefs over here. 😮
@@elinstar6034there is nothing wrong with being on the right . Why do you want whats coming with this lot? I can guarantee you won't enjoy it ..
I think the H of C will be much better with Nigel there. He is so articulate, confident, and numerous and is never stuck for words. I like him and i think he says plainly what other people try to wrap up in confusion and more words than necessary. He will do a good job. Well done to him.
I miss the Queen
As the miners strike had a great impact on my family ,as did the Hillsborough tragedy. I have no affection for Thatcher.
She may have been strong, but she had no empathy and was willing to lie, and crush the common man for her own ideals!
Yes, my family were miners as well she ruined it all .😢
Agreed. She famously said ‘There’s no such thing as society’. I hated her. 😡
Quite so. I admire the fact that was a strong woman. But I can do that whilst knowing that she was ruthless towards the working class, particularly in the North. Hillsborough was heartbreakingly terrible. I don't think the City of Liverpool has ever truly healed from it. And mining is a tough enough job already, without them having to fight the government tooth and nail.
I absolutely agree with every single word you say River and I think that this new government will do damage to our
country that will never be able to mend. We are doomed sadly.
When sunak left the D day meorials in france early to attend a tv debate in uk for the up and then coming election he showed his true self. He placed his own self first above the D day remeberance for all those who gave so much for us to enjoy the freedom we have today. He went down in my opinion i will also add i have never been a conservative voter
Labour as the solution? I worry for the UK. How much more migration can it absorb? The only certainty is raising taxes.
Thank you River, a disgrace is what they have been. Let's see if Keir and co can show kindness and competence, no matter how dull. I know, it's a lot to ask!
We are a democracy so we can only hope.
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH......Z🇬🇧
Labour manifesto: “We promise to keep letting in migrants by the thousands, We promise to continue dishing out money to people that have never worked in their lives, We promise to take the UK into yet another triple-dip recession and financial bankruptcy, We promise to get us into another war that has ZERO to do with us, We promise to get rid of ALL our nuclear deterrents and make us more vulnerable to invasion, We promise to put immigrants and dole-ites as priorities, We promise to reduce the Armed and Emergency Services to totally eff-up this country yet again”…….🤦🏼♀️😫
I think you’re mixing them up with the Tories who have allowed huge numbers of migrants in , massively increasing the tax burden on ordinary Brit’s . The largest group receiving welfare are working people on ridiculous low wages . Sewerage in the waterways , rail companies ripping the public off . The closing of libraries the massive deterioration in the NHS didn’t happen on Thursday so good riddance I say .
You just described the United States 🇺🇸 Under Joe Biden!🤮🤮🤮
TRUMP 2024! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The USA is “ Waking Up” from “ Being Woke”….and Americans want our Country back BEFORE our current administration runs it TOTALLY into the Ground!
TRUMP!!
We would rather vote for a Convicted Felon OVER our current “ Brain-Dead President”!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy Birthday River. Have a super Day!❤🎉
Love to see the Queen chatting with Val Macdermid and Ian Rankin! I bet she loves to curl up with a good thriller, and these are two of the best.
River I'm sorry if you are disappointed in the outcome of the election but I'm delighted. However we're all Brits and I want us all to be happy and successful ❤❤
Devastated for the UK. We tried Progressivism in most major cities in the US after 2020 and it has nearly destroyed our country. I hope we reverse course this election.
The problems the former government has
Presided over woke socialist polices which
Are destroying British cities because of the
Explosion of immigration.
Unfortunately, the conservatives have only ourselves to blame and that is a difficult position to be in.
At least the economy did a Uturn after the disaster of the billionaire welfare packages Trump put in!
TRUMP 2024!
@@Joy-Marie369hes a felon and a liar surely you can do better .
Happy Birthday River! Youre looking jazzy today! I love that the Prince of Wales is the Duke of Rothesay when in Scotland. My family are Boyds and hail from Bute!
Loved Mrs. Thatcher.
The iron Lady she was . Wonderful Woman.
115 degrees NC🇺🇸Stay cool and hydrated.
It’s actually “96 degrees” in NC…….
Please stop with the weather drama….lol
Oh man! I’m in 75 degree Southern California and the worse everyone’s weather is, the worse our “the big one” earthquake is going to be MEMORABLE.
@@fluffyotter1601 They might mean Northern California cause it actually is 115 here today 😆
@@jessl1177 doubtful
They said it was dangerously HOT there (England) and when I did the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion, it came to 80°F!!! They think that's HOT!! 😄
Channeling, channeling the royal spirit...always!
❤️❤️🪭😉🪭❤️❤️
Thatcher loved her country!
Ah, if only we still had leaders as strong and wise as Margaret Thatcher!
As River said, regardless of politics, it would be wonderful to see just one politician on any side, who gives the impression of having an actual conviction beyond what will benefit them and their mates
At least we know what they look like !
They are all in WEF party
@@AJA-ie5uu
This goes for USA too
🇺🇲
Tell the miners that, plus the people of the Falklands. Is that why some British people sang that dispicable song+ ding dong the ´´W´´ the witch is dead, when she passed away.
I’m sending prayers and positive vibes across the pond. We in America sympathize and empathize as we are also having election struggles. God help us all.
Both our nations are living in dangerous, insane times I think .🇬🇧
Maggie T was my first vote. I now reside in the USA and am a firm Monarchist. I find the state of both tiny little Great Britain and massive States of America appalling. We have gone to hell in a handbasket.
I was fascinated by the Iron Lady in my teen years the 80’s imo had some of the most iconic leaders that made history. The economy was horrible everywhere . But people loved their country and were kind to their neighbors. And our celebrities wanted to make a difference. Our musicians protested and spoke their minds thru music.
Yes! The 80s were a fantastic time to be a teen.
I can't help feel this is the beginning of the end for my beautiful country , this new government has a deep distain for the indigenous population, Britain and her history , i am afraid for my children and grand child , where are they to go when Britain is no longer theirs? I never liked Margaret Thatcher but i knew she was a patriot that would fight for our country, now we have no one
😢😢
Yes I agree with your synopsis of the Conservative government. They do deserve outing. Oh dear now what have we. Labour and Starmer. ! Oh we will all suffer under these too. There needs to be honourable people in government who understand the people who they are supposed serve. They don't though the politicians just serve them selves.
I dread what this Labour government are going to do to us .
@@maureensummers8212 Sounds like a lot of people must have suffered under the previous government to have such a big swing against them ..
The Tory government has been absolutely AWFUL for the country, you are right @@zazita7333
Tea in hand ready!
🥳😘🥳😘🥳😘🎈🎉🎈🎉🎂🍾🎂🍾. Happy Birthday all month long, Darlin’ River.
The Queen Putting That On The Little Boy. Was So Sweet He Seem So Happy.
🥰 The look on his face...... Priceless!! 💕
I thought River almost called Liz Truss a "prime-monster" at one point 😂, in what looked like a slip of a tongue. The king's PS Clive Alderton appeared to be very chummy and kissy with Keir Starmer's wife.
Darling River.......personally I am delighted to see the end of that awful government , let's give Labour a chance .....a proper chance. I believe they have the country's best interests at heart ❤
They have just scrapped the Rwanda bill so definitely not putting the UK first,what a bloody mess we are in.
Dear God. We need Prince W to get away from Gates! 🤦🏻♀️
I cringe when I see Gates anywhere. Despise him and his evil plans.
🎯💯%
We do indeed.
@@eaccristoWho's Gates?
Bill Gates , dreadful man. Unfortunately William is all in with the WEF as is his father I'm very sorry to say .
Yes in America we called them RINOs Republican in Name Only. Actually it was truly a Uniparty and I don't mean unity.
For the first time since Eisenhower we have a chance for a true conservative party to be elected.
Uniparty in US politics is the Democrat movement for only Democrat "elected" government.
Wasn't sure exactly what you meant.
If nothing else, IMO the reason Margaret Thatcher was popular was because she was strong, she made it perfectly clear what she thought, and why.
I can not say she was right on certain issues, but I knew what she was doing.
Today's politicians are so afraid, of everything/ one they just flip flops over issues, so nobody actually knows what they intend to do,or believe in, I don't think they even know.
I just want a strong politician again, one who I know believes in what they say and do, if I don't agree, it is up to me to voice my opinion.
Well said 👏
Princess Anne feels every word she says. Such a Royal entity.
Good to see Hot Scot Johnny. 😍
😋😋🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes yes, as handsome as ever…❤❤
Happy Birthday lovely River! 🎉🎉🎉😂❤🎂🍰🍒🍓🍍🍍🍋🍊🍈🍏🍎🍇🫐🍌🍋🟩🍊🍉🍒
William looks spiffy on that scooter. But you are right they can be a bit of hazzard
American here and after hearing about the Labor win I was shook
Hmmm Major Johnny as well.
Happy Birthday River and many, many more... Love you❤
Hi, River! Happy Friday! Sparkle on! 💖✨
Just glad you are there River!
Happy Birthday month.
We are doomed
they spoke highly of each other because they are 2 sides of the same coin. the wef coin. very scary for the uk.
Exactly! They are on the same team. Both globalist traitors. Of course they are going to pat each others backs. they are just a tag team passing the baton of destruction of our country.
The King and Queen look lovely ❤❤❤ love Scotland 🏴
Hello, River. Oh, I do so agree with you with regard to Margaret Thatcher. The world seemed a much safer place when she was your Prime Minister and Ronald Reagan was President of America. He made some excellent speeches as well. The two of them were intelligent, strong leaders. I know that Margaret Thatcher was not loved by all but I think that she did a great deal of good for Britain. Still chanelling the Royal spirit from Africa.
🙄
If only the insanity would stop in the US.
And, up north of you.
I love the portrait of King Charles. Thanks for a great podcast ast..I so enjoy your humour 😂 lots of love from Cape Town South Africa ❤ Gail
