The Queen and her powers

So Charlie boy has stopped homeowners in 'his' Duchy lands from buying the leaseholds to their homes. Thus stopping many from being able to afford social care or, often, to sell their homes because they are falling in value. Someone should shoot the fucker.


Took me ages to find this, always brings a chuckle.



Answer to Charles' tenants: no. you don't
 
Queen’s secret influence on laws revealed in Scottish government memo
Mon 27 Jun 2022
A Guardian investigation last year revealed the Queen’s consent procedure had been used by the monarch in recent decades to privately lobby for changes to proposed UK legislation. In Scotland, where the procedure is known as crown consent, research by the Guardian identified at least 67 instances in which Scottish bills were vetted by the Queen.

The Queen’s representatives have previously refused to say how many times she requested alterations to legislation as part of this procedure. Buckingham Palace and the government insist the process is “purely formal” and maintain the Queen does not use the procedure to change the nature of draft bills.

But the newly obtained internal memo, prepared in response to a parliamentary question on the use of crown consent, contains the first explicit admission that the procedure may be used to change legislation to address the Queen’s concerns.
