    Queen Elizabeth II ends Aussie visit with barbecue

    PERTH, Australia (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip have ended their Australian visit after tens of thousands of fans bid them farewell at a riverside barbecue.

    The 85-year-old British monarch told the huge lunchtime crowd on the Swan River bank in the western coastal city of Perth on Saturday that she will return to London with "fond memories" of her 16th visit to Australia since 1954.

    She later took off in a chartered airliner for the 18-hour flight home.

    The queen made the 10-day visit to open the biennial meeting of Commonwealth government leaders in Perth on Friday. The 53 countries represented are mostly former colonies of the British empire.

      I imagine she's a pretty nice girl
      But she doesn't have a lot to say
      I imagine she's a pretty nice girl
      But she changes from day to day

      I want to tell her I love her a lot
      But I gotta get a belly full of wine
      I imagine she's a pretty nice girl
      Someday I'm gonna make her mine
      Oh yea
      Someday I'm gonna make her mine

      "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

      It seems that the jew controlled media couldn't find an embarassing moment at the BBQ. (they usually contrive something). I see it doesn't stop the trash making their juvinile "potty" comments.

      I hope queen Elizabeth's last visit to aussie will teach aussies to have respect and manner.

      The Kaffirs need the Queen to come and show them what civilized means!

      I heard the Prime Minister use it. "It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in here, your Majesty," he said and she smiled quietly to herself. She's a good Sheila Bruce, and not at all stuck up.

      Great! Can we also be notified when the Queen lets out some gas???

      GOOD STUFF......Betty Windsor has finished her free-loading tour and has decided to bugga off back to pommy land. I bet the old bag never even took a six pack of beer to the BBQ....just sponged booze and food from everybody else...... like her and her parasitic family have done for generations. Don't hurry back to Oz Betty. The doddery old dear has probably forgotten already what she did 5 minutes ago.

      May be this is Her Majesty's last visit to Australia. Even years before her visit to Australia there calls for the removal of the office of the Governor General of Australia which not only seemed achiac but also conveyed the wrong message to non discerning members of the world community that Australia is being colonised by Great Britain.
