It is a little bit of a shame that the UK is now linked into the EU. I think she and many people within the UK would wish New Zealand & Australia were more closely linked to the UK. So hope for the future with our countries working together more. Please remember she is your Queen too and does care greatly. I am sure she prays for the people of NZ and Aus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-11683100569668131792008-01-21T19:51:00.000+10:002008-01-21T19:51:00.000+10:00Sorry Michael, missed the one linerSorry Michael, missed the one linerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-62350956291667474202008-01-21T18:51:00.000+10:002008-01-21T18:51:00.000+10:00No I didn't Jude.

Real heroes are people who help other people. Hillary was only obsessed with himself. Imagine if he had put his mountain climbing efforts into helping others instead? Royals would have sent someone if it were someone who had helped the people NZ rather than someone who was just fulfilling their own personal motiavations. Like the anti-whalers in the southern ocean, how many homeless people did they pass by and not help on their way to the boat?<BR/>Also the Hillary thing is really only somehting NZ cares about.<BR/>Ps, Where is NZ anyhow, is it a country or something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-47087295206127141842008-01-21T16:07:00.000+10:002008-01-21T16:07:00.000+10:00I'm no monarchist, but this is a right royal media...I'm no monarchist, but this is a right royal media beatup.<BR/><BR/>Hillary, an enlightened and environmentally aware man, would probably not have wished a regal figurehead plus staff plus security guards plus hangers on to all stamp an enormous greenhouse footprint halfway round the world just to be photographed looking suitably glum at his funeral.<BR/><BR/>I hope Rupert Murdoch will not take offense, but should I outlive the old fox, I will decline an invitation to his funeral even in the infinitesimally small chance I ever receive one.
