Hello Mr. Rose: Happy to watch this eve's interview with Jeremy Paxman, however, when asked about the political powers of the Queen, Mr. Paxman replied that she had none, whereby, just very recently, Tony Blair stated in a CBC documentary, that the Queen of England has the power to dismantle a "rogue" government!!! The Queen stopped giving her political opinions when she was misled by PM MacMillian, who outrightly lied to her about the Suez Canal war...and by signing some document, became Monarch to only G.Britain, rather than Monarch of the United Kingdom!!! As for the 'elk' in the Queen; t'was to show her fondness and sensitivity for animals, rather, perhaps, than some human-beings, who were not as worthy of this prestige? Jonathon Dimbleby is the author and personal biographer of The Prince of Wales, and with no partisanship involved - all letters and diaries taken from Prince Charles'related facts personally. Would really wish for you to have a great conversation with Tony Blair personally, and set the record straight! Thanks so much. Blossom Foley Mtl.Qc., Canada blossomf@videotron.ca
