Guest I wish I knew how to quit you, Pap Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 http://defamer.com/hollywood/royal-audits/bbc-sentenced-to-identifying-and-correcting-every-lie-in-history-by-decree-of-an-angry-queen-279067.php BBC SENTENCED TO IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING EVERY LIE IN HISTORY BY DECREE OF AN ANGRY QUEEN The fallout continues from last week's royal debacle, in which the BBC was forced to publicly apologize to The Scariest Lady on the Planet, aka Queen Elizabeth II, for having rearranged footage to make it seem as though she had stormed out of a photo session with Annie Leibovitz. A Year with the Queen producers RDF Media e-mailed the director-general of the BBC, accepting full responsibility for what they refer to as "a serious error of judgment." Somehow, not even the divvying of blame among sub-production entities has done much to lessen the Queen's wrath, as The WOW Report's Fenton Bailey reprints an e-mail he received from a BBC contact: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Fenton As a result of the BBC/RDF Queen misrepresentation, myself and a number of other Execs are having to contact all our suppliers over the past 3 years to review our output. To sum up, this is to see if they may have in any way misled the viewer with anything that has been broadcast by the BBC. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you feel there is anything you wish to discuss, please feel free to call me. It will not in any way be held against you, but we've been asked to make these calls to everyone, just to be on the safe side. Sorry for having to send this out, and please do not take it any way personally. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Let that be a lesson to anyone else who might be harboring similar plans to use an Avid bay to paint a caricature of an ill-tempered and humorless Queen of England: Not only will you have to repeatedly and publicly apologize for the trickery, but the gesture will so incense Her Majesty, she'll order a massive audit of every hour of TV broadcast by your network for the past three years, in order to assure that similar factual discrepancies might not have also deceived a gullible public.

You're mistaking power with influence. Which is not surprising, because Vermie is pretty much doing the same thing. She has a lot of influence. That's also known as "Soft Power," and is very useful because if you have enough of it you don't need to shoot people. As we Americans are finding in Iraq, BTW. Think about it -- She has so much influence that the leaders of Australia got together and wanted to replace her. But they needed to hold a huge referendum, because all the power of Parliament could not unilaterally fire the Queen. And they lost. They think they were right, they have the power, but won't try again until Elizabeth II dies. Because power loses elections to stubborn, stern, old ladies. Even when those old ladies spend almost all their time literally on the opposite side of the world. She has this power mostly because she only acts when she has to. She's not in politics to push an agenda, she's there to help make things run smooth. A PM can't govern she calls an election. If he can govern she lets him do it. She certainly does not make her political positions known, or support any party in Parliament. All the other politicos have grandiose visions for the future, which they push relentlessly. Honestly, as an American I frequently wish our Head-of-State was not involved in day-to-day politics. Clinton's big political spat seems tame compared to the spats DC has right now. Nick Quote

The reason why the referendum was necessary is > because the Australian constitution requires it. The Australian Constitution also requires the Queen to agree with damn near everything the PM does. If obeying the Constitution is power the PM clearly doesn't have any, because the Queen can fire him at will. And could probably have him executed tomorrow, without trial, because replacing the monarchy is treason against the monarch by definition. Note that actual powerful people don't bother with the Constitution. A Constitution is a bunch of rules, with a grand-sounding name. Since power makes the rules the truly powerful do not obey Constitutions. > And the Queen's supposed influence had nothing to do with why most > Australians in favour of a republic are so, any more than why the > peoples of South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Pakistan, India, > Sri Lanka, Malta, Nigeria, and wherever else voted for one. Uhh... Australia is a country that was built by the British, for British settlers. Elizabeth is the British Queen. Of the nations you mention the only one with a significant British population is South Africa, and they're a minority. Nick Quote
