Some people are trying to destroy Britain

Todays unions are nowhere near as powerful as the unions were before Thatcher. 
Nothing I have posted suggest that I disagree with workers having a fair deal…another strawman ..yawn..

And do you ever learn anything about a subject before posting? Apparently not. The Civil Service are there to do the bidding of the Executive - the government. They're fuck all to do with the monarchy. They cannot say "no" to anything that they're told to do. They can try to point out any problems, but ultimately it's up the Executive what they should do. But of course the Civil Service are very adept at doing fuck all. And that seems to be increasingly what they do - i.e. Nothing. 

The Unions are trying to bring down the Tories. That's obvious. Same goes for Pat Cullen at the RCN. The RCN hasn't ever gone on strike before but this Irish woman seems determined on ruining their reputation. Mick Lynch of course is virtually always trying to organise strikes. Strangely the rail workers and nurses are very highly paid for what they do. In fact the train drivers are on such a cushy number that their union is a closed shop and whenever a job comes vacant it has to be offered to friends and relatives of the RMT. Money for old rope. Sack the lot of them. 

It was not Russia's fault. They were happy to supply us and anyone else who wanted gas and oil according to the contracts. It is how it normally works that a country has a contract of a supply with the Russian state-owned energy firms. Russia were keen to keep to contracted obligations but the Nato alliance received energy and then the money for it was not paid to Russia due to the bank sanctions, so that was a breach of contract and the other party is quite within their rights to withhold further supply if payment is not received. A further problem was that prior to the conflict, Russia relied on Western energy firms for their expertise. Much of the energy infrastructure in Russia has been designed by Western firms such as Shell were involved in a lot of it. Then all of a sudden all this help was withdrawn and all supply of spares and whatever else you need to keep such a system running and so it developed problems. We can't prove anything here, but this is the most likely reason why it was not running at full capacity. If they could have run it and they were paid, then they would wish to pump as much as possible to keep their economy good. This is Russia's main line of income, much like a Gulf state. Also recall that the pipeline was then blown up.

Look at the constitutional position again.  The monarch acts on the advice of his government and gives them some powers as if they were acting with the monarch's authority but he is the monarch in a constitutional monarchy. 

The Crown is different from the Monarch.
Why is that not obvious?
