Usually I try not to trust Daily Mail stories on face value. They
often get it wrong. But I'm currently not in the mood to care so
if this is true and we don't do anything then...well...we deserve what we get:
The Queen’s head could disappear from British stamps as part of controversial plans to sell off the Royal Mail, it was revealed last night.
Ministers are locked in frantic talks with Buckingham Palace to discuss how the monarch will be represented – if at all – on future stamps after the Government confessed it had failed to guarantee that the Queen’s image would survive.
Apparently the Queen is most seriously displeased:
But Royal insiders said that ‘anger’ at the Palace at the proposed sale had been heightened by the fear that it could be rushed through in advance of the 2012 Diamond Jubilee, when a range of special stamps is expected to be produced.
One said: ‘The Palace don’t like this privatisation at all but they are particularly keen to delay it until after the Jubilee if they possibly can. That could explain the delay.’
But not so displeased as to object forcefully, just delay it so that it doesn't cause too much fuss. Our Queen is a traitor and signs away her power willingly against her coronation oath.
