Chapter 1547: The Queen’s Principle of Scrupulous Neutrality

The Prime Minister was taking the piss, if it was said out loud there would be people who would believe it, after all, Margaret Thatcher’s popularity rating has never been like this, it has been like this since the milk problem when she was the Secretary of State for Education.

But then, it was all forgivable in Alan Wilson’s case, and he waited until he had calmed down a little before speaking, “Her Majesty is a very calm person, and I still believe that Her Majesty will not heed the workers’ petition, although she has the theoretical power to do so.”

It is important to emphasize this point that the Queen’s failure to do so is not that the Queen cannot do it, but that it is a comprehensive consideration, carefully weighed, that could be detrimental to this country.

Alan Wilson also spoke up to remind this point, “The Prime Minister has a term of office, but Her Majesty doesn’t, and I’m also reminding from a personal point of view to treat Her Majesty with respect.”

“I go to the palace every week, and no Prime Minister goes there more often than I do.” Mrs. Thatcher muttered disgruntledly, she was telling the truth and was indeed the Prime Minister who made the most frequent trips to the palace.

“Uh, always going and rapprochement don’t go together.” Alan Wilson said in his heart that Her Majesty the Queen is most annoyed with you, you outgoing prime minister’s knighthood that are lucky to catch up with the Soviet Union’s suicide, his own speeches everywhere non-said that without you the Soviet Union would not have committed suicide, or else you still want to be knighted?

The Prime Minister who had the worst relationship with the Queen was Margaret Thatcher, which is well known in the UK.

The Queen is very traditional Victorian aristocratic style, love of country life, love of all kinds of traditional way of life, pampered, want to maintain a king of the country’s image of supreme neutrality; Mrs. Thatcher is a typical capitalist society, the style of the right-wing political elite.

The most conflicting is that, Margaret Thatcher in history firmly stood behind the white regime in South Africa, South Africa in the eighties has long been spurned by the world, the United States do not dare to stand up for South Africa, Margaret Thatcher’s leadership of the United Kingdom is South Africa’s biggest backing, Margaret Thatcher can be said to be the Commonwealth’s biggest enemy.

Mrs. Thatcher’s style, basically the first look down on the European Community, followed by the Commonwealth, three is hostile to the Soviet Union, including Eastern Europe, the only really physically advancing is the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, Alan Wilson will have to guard against this female prime minister on foreign policy.

He’s spent decades trying to keep a few royal territories and the British presence in the Middle East, and if it’s lost to a female prime minister.

The Supreme Authority can honestly say that the mere credit of privatization for putting British industry in reliable hands is not enough to leave Mrs. Thatcher’s family alive.

But now he still has to give firm support to Mrs. Thatcher, good words to calm down the female prime minister in the midst of the spill, unknowingly has walked behind Mrs. Thatcher, hands on the other side of the shoulders, “I’ll go to the royal palace, to understand the Queen’s meaning, it should not be to an unmanageable point.”

“Good, you!” Mrs. Thatcher was in the midst of a blank mind, as if electrocuted to avoid, the blank mind partly because of the Cabinet Secretary’s action as well.

“Then Prime Minister I will take my leave.” Alan Wilson directly wiped his feet and walked to the door before turning back, “That was a document signed on a trip to the Soviet Union, as the Prime Minister how should I read it.”

Before the end of the voice, the office is left with Mrs. Thatcher’s single figure, Alan Wilson walked quickly, can quickly go, or who knows this prime minister will not be angry.

Facts have proved that tandem this kind of thing or to do less, although in the Buckingham Palace outside the petition workers only more than 1,000 is not a lot, but it is also extremely rare events, Alan Wilson gave up the beloved Silver Spirit, replaced a more pro-people Land Rover, of course, is a bulletproof version, into the Buckingham Palace, so that you can do a certain sense of unobtrusive.

Radwicky fulfilled the responsibility of the driver, and also listened to the cabinet secretary general behind him, Bibi chatter, in the future to do less such operations, can only speak, “I will pay attention to the next time.”

“It would be better not to have a next time. This is also to see Margaret just came to power, if her support is solid, I will not do this kind of thing.” Alan Wilson shook his head, right now Margaret Thatcher’s support was shaky, not quite daring to make the world angry, so what if after the war on the Isle of Man? Just look at the much larger miners’ strike to see what the result was.

“Margaret?” Radwick raised an eyebrow, when had the relationship between the Supreme Authority and the Prime Minister gotten to this point? How had he not realized it before?

That was naturally because, at that time, it was still early, and the remnants of World War II that Radvich represented had not yet entered into deep cooperation with Alan Wilson.

Possibly having been educated a bit by the RCMP, the steelworkers’ petitioners outside Buckingham Palace were so well organized that they could be considered a model of a strike movement.

Alan Wilson doesn’t even come to Buckingham Palace as much as Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister, who, as she claims, comes over to see the Queen every week without interruption. Ellen Wilson, after all, had a lot on her plate, not to mention the weekends, but she didn’t have time during the week.

Prince Philip had waited, he hadn’t slept well lately because of the steelworkers’ petition, after all, the workers were right out there and said they didn’t even know what would happen.

The Queen’s couple default Pamela Mountbatten’s husband, the current Cabinet Secretary General is a key figure in the checks and balances of the Cabinet, but this time the strike began, Allen Wilson ran directly to the Soviet Union, which makes the two confused, and even in the private husband and wife of the two exchanges among the two people, feel that Allen Wilson, this person is not trustworthy.

However, since people come to the door, Prince Philip naturally can not express the real idea, inquired about the trip to visit the Soviet Union how, what consensus was reached.

“Moscow is still quite cold at this time of the year.” Alan Wilson cautiously replied, “But I believe that the cold can’t overpower the hearts of the steel workers, which are not all protesting outside the palace.”

“I don’t know how they’re holding up.” Speaking of which, Prince Philip was also very surprised that it was so cold that they came to London to petition, don’t they want to live?

Then there must have been someone, someone sympathetic to the steelworkers who helped, like some civil servant who would not divulge his name, or perhaps a certain Labour man, and so on and so forth.

But this was a matter which Prince Philip was not fit to know, and Alan Wilson grunted and perfunctorily passed it over, and spoke up, “Her Majesty says it is all right to take a stand or not to take a stand now. Taking a stand has the advantage of taking a stand, it does not mean that there is the advantage of not taking a stand, but not taking a stand as if nothing happened also has the disadvantage. Dealing with this kind of problem is like, treating the prime minister in the same way as you would, by avoiding the shortcomings.”

The so-called to build on one’s strengths and avoid one’s weaknesses is to firmly support Margaret Thatcher’s privatization reforms, and to put the industries that Britain has developed over the years into reliable hands, and Pamela Mountbatten is the most reliable of all, and likewise the Queen is very reliable, but some of Margaret Thatcher’s detriments to the unity of the Commonwealth must be resolutely fought against.

This can also be applied to this petition above, Alan Wilson did not say that this petition has its own credit, otherwise the Queen and his wife may not be able to understand, he for the betterment of the United Kingdom’s pain.

Not long after, the two met the Queen, and Queen Elizabeth also inquired about the gains of the visit to the Soviet Union, and then asked, “What exactly is the Cabinet going to do about the steelworkers’ strike.”

Queen Elizabeth couldn’t help but ask, now that the steelworkers were all outside Buckingham Palace with a banner petition to get her to put pressure on Margaret Thatcher, she certainly couldn’t remain indifferent.

“On this issue, the end result must be that the steel industry is withdrawn from the state and privatized and sold, and only half of the two hundred and seventy thousand steelworkers may be left with only half of their workers.” Alan Wilson was frank and honest, which had been calculated before, “As for after the privatization, if Pamela has the energy to take care of it, it might be merged with the Malayan steel group.”

To lay off half of the steel workers? Hearing this news, Queen Elisabeth was also filled with dismay, and Prince Philip spoke directly, “This will create more than 100,000 more unemployed people.”

“It’s like this, to privatize, these workers will be laid off sooner or later, if the prime minister is willing to be very courageous to take the responsibility, for the upright entrepreneurs to get the trouble out of the way in advance, then it’s really to a good thing.” Alan Wilson’s smile at this time is incomparably sincere, the scolding country bear the blame, the profit is given to the people rich, there is no better thing than this.

This kind of country lose money entrepreneurs make money model, said the Soviet Union as the country certainly do not understand, but this is a very common thing under neoliberalism. What Alan Wilson said has been very clear, the privatization of the steel industry this point of view, or should support Margaret Thatcher to remain in power.

The Queen and her wife exchanged glances, and Prince Philip asked directly, “The question is what to do about the steelworkers out there.”

“Let’s say that Her Majesty is very sympathetic to the steelworkers and is willing to do some private fundraising to subsidize the steelworkers, but petition the Queen to intervene in the matter of the Prime Minister’s atrocities. Let’s say that once the Queen does so, it will break traditional customary law, and although in theory the Queen can do so, she should refrain from royal behavior.”

Alan Wilson emphasized, “It’s important to emphasize that the Queen is guarding the modern constitutional monarchy, which together originated in the British system.”

“So once there’s interference with the Prime Minister, there could be a lot of matters where the Prime Minister’s exercise of power could cause the groups that are affected to keep asking Her Majesty to step in.”

Making sure to emphasize the fact that the Queen has this power just not to do it, Queen Elisabeth thought for a moment and picked up the phone, “Have the press officer prepare to make a speech.”

“It should wait a few days, we should also let the Prime Minister know that Her Majesty is far more loved than he is.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to advise against rushing things, how about a show of love for the Queen.
