Queen Handbags Gordon Brown

You must understand that this is ginormously HUGE for Great Britain.

The Queen of England NEVER allows her views on a politician or government to be known publically or "officially" known. NEVER. She is not allowed to favor one political party or another.

She simply advises the Prime Minister - and given that her first PM was Winston Churchill and her great-grandmother was Queen Victoria, the Queen has got some good advice to give.

So when this article comes out in Britain's Daily Mail with the headline, "The Queen Tells Gordon Brown she is 'deeply troubled' over MP's expenses", that is a big deal.

But OH SNAP, the article goes on to say...
She discussed the explosion of public outrage over the scandal in what is understood to have been a candid exchange of views when she met the Prime Minister for their weekly audience at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
(italics mine)

The phrase "a candid exchange of views" is British press code phrase for the Queen tore the Prime Minister a new one. (Another example of a code phrases is "tired and emotional" which means completely and utterly drunk.)

For the Queen to allow a leak regarding her private meetings with the political leader of her kingdom - and a negative leak at that - means only one thing for Gordon Brown.

Pack your bags my friend, you're leaving 10 Downing Street real soon.
