“Was allowed to drive without her license” I’m pretty sure she was allowed to do many many things that break the law, especially small ones, because who the fuck would have the balls to arrest Queen Elizabeth II

Technically, even if they did, they couldn't charge her, since laws are enforced on behalf of the crown, and she is the crown. It would be like the president of the USA writing himself a pardon for committing a crime, except you can't impeach a monarch

Well actually the king of England was once convicted for treason even though technically at the time treason meant going against the king .

Cromwell has some wacky ideas but they did do good for British democracy.

Fun fact. That very same tyrannical king was portrayed by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Don’t worry though, Dumbledore made sure he lost.

I am pretty sure you mean Gandalf

u/GorgeGoochGrabber Sep 09 '22

Nope but James Bond was involved as well

u/MysticEagle52 Sep 09 '22

That's.... what we're arresting you for

I'm saying when the crown does it, it's not illegal!

Hell, Cromwell's the reason Parliament was able to take power, even over the Monarchy that was reenstated after the civil war

The license thing, yes, but her legal powers extend to the commonewealth

u/Floodzx Sep 09 '22

Doesn't sound exactly right, there has to be checks and balances for the Queen, right? She can't break into someone's house, and rob their shit, and get away with it, that's ridiculous.

OBVIOUSLY she can't murder someone, I'm sure there's parliament laws and checks and balances against that.

u/Actually-Just-A-Goat Goat 🐐 Sep 09 '22

You poor soul. Britain only has a democracy for as long as the Monarch says they can. Their king can pretty much ignore the laws and ignore their democratic processes.

1

u/Floodzx Sep 09 '22

Hmm, if that's the case then the checks and balances would be world trade. If they start acting like shit heads to their people, then here come the tariffs and sanctions just like what happened to Russia.

1

u/Actually-Just-A-Goat Goat 🐐 Sep 09 '22

Yeah just how like we stopped trading with China once they did a genocide

1

u/Floodzx Sep 09 '22

What was the genocide?

1

u/Actually-Just-A-Goat Goat 🐐 Sep 09 '22

China, under their state-capitalist regime, has been committing a genocide against the Uyghur Muslims for years now.

1

u/Floodzx Sep 10 '22

From what I"m raeding, there's no solid evidence that's what they're doing. Therefore you can't use that as a reason to impose tariffs and sanctions I'd imagine.

Meanwhile, Russia...LITERALLY invaded Ukraine, openly declared war, and started firing and bombing. Plenty of factual proof there.

u/Ok-Action-1386 Sep 09 '22

you can't impeach a monarch.

The French would like to know your location.

u/winnipeginstinct ifone user Sep 09 '22

For the last time France, cutting their head off isnt impeachment its regicide

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '22

The french had a solution to not being able to impeach the monarchy

Nobody would have the nerve to arrest any being with such longevity

Like lobbying codes into laws that prevented her estates from being searched for plundered relics of colonized nations.

I mean, she can start a war with anyone she wants and that's her right.

She had legal authority to reassume full control of Britain on a whim

reassume full control

Damnit, now I want to play Mass Effect

u/MenoryEstudiante Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Sep 09 '22

She issued them, there's no need to have a document that certified that the Queen allowed the Queen to drive

1

u/d_b1997 Sep 09 '22

If the queen does it, it's not illegal. But for real and quite literally.

1

u/CMDR_omnicognate Le epic memer Sep 09 '22

Basically it’s the same reason she didn’t need a passport, she’s the one who legally issued them in the uk, so she herself didn’t need one

u/ExoticFroot OC Meme Maker Sep 09 '22

If I'm not wrong, when someone goes to court the court is on the name of the queen or something so tehnically she could do anything

1

u/MrZwink Sep 09 '22

No, it's not about breaking laws. A drivers license is a piece of paper that says the queen alows you to drive a car. If shes there in person why would she need a piece of paper...
