B.A, throwing any pooey substance at the Queen seems a bit extreme to me,care to enlighten us as to the reason why you feel such hostility towards her, especially as its widely known she enjoys a good game of football(as a spectator of course)I believe she's a Chelsea fan .

I've heard she still has a bit of Greek in her. But only on his birthday.

That's as good a reason as any.

Yes, good question. I don't actually wish to throw plop-plops at the Queen because her herself has done anything directly to harm me. The idea interests me because I wonder what kind of penalty I would receive. It's probably one of the most disgusting acts you could commit on someone, without being particularly cruel or particularly harmful. I reckon that if I did it to an innocent bystander, or to a personal enemy - fine? suspended sentence? 6 months max. But would the British right-wing media be able to handle such a lenient sentence. Would I get a harsher sentence because it was the Queen? Is there something in law for that? Or shouldn't I be ALLOWED to throw faeces at the Queen? She is MY figurehead whether I like it or not. Shouldn't I be allowed to get SOME kind of use out of her? What kind of a reaction would I get? And, if done in private, would the palace simply wish to cover the whole incident up, and I get off scot-free? As for being a republican? No way. Anarchist.

Could it be treason?
Quote:
1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.
3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.


I'd make sure you had a good lawyer. I think treason is still a hanging offence.

No, TB abolished all remaining hanging offences from the statute book back in 97. Interestingly, one of them was hanging for Piracy. Yaaar!
I think you might get lynched by a mob of enraged old people should you get within poop-flinging range of Her Maj. This is why it would probably be better to do it at a distance - a cr.ap catapult! or a turd trebuchet. failing that, you could train up a load of attack chimps, who are well known for flinging their own faecal matter at anything they consider to be an imminent threat.

You could use messenger pigeons. Or is pigeon poop not really good enough for the purpose?

I love old laws that seem to still be around. Apparently it's still perfectly legal to kills a Sctosman within York city walls with a bow and arrow Surprised
