Welfare Queen

A real one, to wit:

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,  Head of the Commonwealth, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Lancaster Lord of Mann and Paramount Chief of Fiji. 




AKA Regina of the Chilly Toes, making us wonder if Phil might not have been behind this. 


Liz applied for The Dole,  heating assistance  to chase the chill from the cold stone of Buckingham Palace. 


That particular fund was designed to pay for warm schools and hospitals. 

Her Majesty's government said, "Sure,"  then, egad, reneged and thwarted Royal Desire.  It seems some spoilsport of a PUS got to thinking about those ever-so-disrespectful cads on Fleet Street.




"I also feel a bit uneasy about the probable adverse press coverage if the palace were given a grant at the expense of, say, a hospital," the official said.




Move to Britain. Apply for welfare. You'll meet such a nice class of people in the queue.
