British Civil Servants Chapter 1547 The Queen adheres to the principle of neutrality
If the Prime Minister is telling the truth, some people will definitely believe it. After all, Mrs. Thatcher's reputation has always been like this, and it has been like this since the milk issue when she was the Minister of Education.
But, everything is forgivable with Alan Wilson. After he calmed down a little, he said, "Her Majesty the Queen is a very calm person. I still believe that Her Majesty the Queen will not pay attention to the workers' petition. Although
She theoretically has the authority to do so."
It must be emphasized that if the Queen does not do something, it does not mean that the Queen cannot do it, but it is a comprehensive consideration after careful weighing, which may cause harm to this country.
Alan Wilson also reminded this, "The Prime Minister has a term of office, but Her Majesty the Queen does not. I also remind you from a personal perspective that you must treat Her Majesty the Queen with respect."
"I go to the palace every week, and no other prime minister goes more frequently than me." Mrs. Thatcher said in dissatisfaction. She was telling the truth. She was indeed the most diligent prime minister who went to the palace.
"Well, it has nothing to do with harmonious relations." Alan Wilson said in his heart that the thing that annoys Her Majesty the most is you. The fact that you were knighted when you resigned as prime minister was because you were lucky enough to catch up with the Soviet Union and committed suicide. He always talks about the Soviet Union without you.
He would commit suicide, or else he would still want to be knighted?
The Prime Minister who has the worst relationship with the Queen is Margaret Thatcher, which is well known in the UK.
The Queen has a very traditional Victorian aristocratic style, loves rural life, loves various traditional lifestyles, is pampered, and hopes to maintain the image of a detached and neutral king of a country; Mrs. Thatcher is a typical right-wing political elite in capitalist society.
The most conflicting thing is that Mrs. Thatcher has historically stood firmly behind the white regime of South Africa. In the 1980s, South Africa had already been shunned by the whole world. The United States did not dare to stand for South Africa. The United Kingdom led by Mrs. Thatcher was South Africa.
The biggest backer of the British Commonwealth, Mrs. Thatcher can be called the biggest enemy of the entire British Commonwealth.
Mrs. Thatcher's style basically looked down upon the European Community first, looked down upon the British Commonwealth, and was hostile to Eastern Europe including the Soviet Union. The only thing she really promoted was the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Alan Wilson also had to
In terms of foreign policy, we should be careful about this female prime minister.
It took him decades to save several royal territories and Britain's presence in the Middle East. If they were destroyed by a female prime minister.
The supreme authority can honestly say that the mere merit of privatization in putting British industries in reliable hands is not enough to save the lives of Mrs. Thatcher and her family.
But now he still wanted to give Mrs. Thatcher firm support and kind words to appease the acting-out female prime minister. Unknowingly, he had walked behind Mrs. Thatcher and put his hands on her shoulders, "I'm going to go there."
Palace, if you understand what the Queen means, the trouble should not get out of hand."
"Okay, you!" Mrs. Thatcher was in a blank state of mind, running away as if she was electrocuted. Part of the reason for the blank mind was the actions of the Cabinet Secretary.
"Then Prime Minister, I will take my leave." Alan Wilson directly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, walked to the door and then turned around and said, "That is a document signed during a visit to the Soviet Union. As Prime Minister, you must read it."
Before the sound lingered, Mrs. Thatcher was left alone in the office. Alan Wilson walked quickly, but he had to walk quickly, otherwise who knows whether this prime minister will act miserably.
Facts have proved that we should do less of this kind of thing. Although there were only a thousand workers petitioning outside Buckingham Palace, it was not a large number, but it was also an extremely rare event. Alan Wilson gave up his beloved Gintram and replaced it with a more people-friendly one.
The Land Rover, of course, is a bulletproof version and has entered Buckingham Palace, so that it can be unnoticed to a certain extent.
Radovich was fulfilling his responsibilities as a driver, and listened to the cabinet secretary behind him saying that he should do less such operations in the future, so he could only say, "I will pay attention next time."
"It's better not to have a next time. This means that Margaret has just come to power. If her approval rate is stable, I will not do such a thing." Alan Wilson shook his head. Mrs. Thatcher's approval rate is now
If it is unstable and people don’t dare to do it, what if it is after the Falklands War? Just look at the larger-scale miners’ strike and you will know what the result will be.
"Margaret?" Radwich raised an eyebrow. When did the relationship between the Supreme Authority and the Prime Minister reach this point? Why didn't he notice it before?
That was naturally because it was still early at that time, and the remnants of World War II represented by Radwich had not yet entered into in-depth cooperation with Alan Wilson.
Perhaps because they were educated by the RCMP, the steelworkers' petitioners outside Buckingham Palace were very orderly and could be said to be a model of the strike movement.
Alan Wilson came to Buckingham Palace as often as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. As she claimed, she came to see the Queen every week without interruption. After all, Alan Wilson had a lot of things to be busy with, let alone weekends.
I usually don't have time.
Prince Philip is already waiting. He has not slept well recently because of the steel workers' petition. After all, the workers are outside and they don't know what will happen.
The queen and her wife recognized that Pamela Mountbatten's husband, the current cabinet secretary, was the key figure to check and balance the cabinet. However, as soon as the strike began, Alan Wilson went directly to the Soviet Union, which made the two confused and even married in private.
During the exchange between the two, they felt that Alan Wilson was unreliable.
However, since someone came to visit, Prince Philip naturally could not express his true thoughts and asked how his visit to the Soviet Union was going and what consensus had been reached.
"It's quite cold in Moscow at this time of year." Alan Wilson replied cautiously, "But I don't believe it can cool the hearts of steel workers. Aren't they all protesting outside the palace?"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't know how they persisted." Speaking of this issue, Prince Philip was also very surprised that he went to London to petition in such a cold weather.
, don’t they want to live?
Someone must have helped, someone who sympathized with the steel workers, such as a civil servant who did not want to be named, maybe someone from the Labor Party, and so on.
However, it was not appropriate for Prince Philip to know about this matter. Alan Wilson grunted and said perfunctorily, "It makes sense for Her Majesty the Queen to express her position now or not. There are advantages to expressing a stance, but it does not mean that there are advantages to not expressing a stance, but it does not
There are also disadvantages in expressing a position as if nothing has happened. Dealing with this kind of problem is like treating the Prime Minister, and we must make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses."
The so-called maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses means resolutely supporting Mrs. Thatcher’s privatization reform and putting the British industry that has been developing for many years into the hands of reliable people. Pamela Mountbatten is the most reliable person, and the Queen is also very reliable, but for Thacher
Mrs. Chel, we must fight resolutely against some areas that are not conducive to the unity of the Commonwealth.
This can also be applied to this petition. Alan Wilson did not say that this petition had his own merits, otherwise the Queen and his wife might not be able to understand his difficulties for the betterment of Britain.
After a while, the two met the queen, and Queen Elizabeth also asked about the gains from the visit to the Soviet Union, and then asked, "How is the cabinet going to solve the steel workers' strike issue."
Queen Elizabeth has no choice but to ask. Now steel workers are holding banners and petitions outside Buckingham Palace to put pressure on Mrs. Thatcher. Of course she cannot remain indifferent.
"Regarding this issue, the final result will definitely be that the steel industry withdraws from the state and is privatized and sold. Only half of the 270,000 steel workers may remain." Alan Wilson told the truth. This was also calculated before, "
As for after privatization, if Pamela has the energy to take care of it, she may merge with the Malayan Steel Group."
Want to lay off half of the steel workers? Upon hearing the news, Queen Elizabeth was also shocked. Prince Philip said directly, "This will create more than 100,000 unemployed people."
"It's like this. If privatization is to be carried out, these workers will be laid off sooner or later. If the Prime Minister is willing to take responsibility very boldly and solve the trouble for upright entrepreneurs in advance, that is really a good thing." Allen
Wilson's smile at this time was extremely sincere. The country would bear the blame and the profits would be given to the rich people. There is nothing better than this.
This model of the country losing money and entrepreneurs making money is certainly not understandable to countries like the Soviet Union, but it is a very common thing under neoliberalism. What Alan Wilson said is very clear, from the perspective of the privatization of the steel industry
He said that Mrs. Thatcher should still be supported to continue to be in power.
"First Evolution"
The Queen and his wife exchanged glances, and Prince Philip asked directly, "The problem is how the steel workers outside can solve it."
"Let's just say that Her Majesty the Queen is very sympathetic to the plight of the steel workers and is willing to do some private fundraising to subsidize the steel workers, but she is asking the Queen to intervene in the Prime Minister's atrocities. Once the Queen does this, it will destroy traditional habits.
Although the Queen can theoretically do so, she should restrain the royal family's behavior."
Alan Wilson emphasized, "It is important to emphasize that the Queen is protecting the modern constitutional monarchy, a system that originated in the United Kingdom."
"So once the Prime Minister is interfered with, there may be many matters. When the Prime Minister exercises his power, the affected groups will constantly ask Her Majesty the Queen to come forward."
It must be emphasized that the Queen has this power but does not do it. Queen Elizabeth thought for a moment, picked up the phone and asked the press officer to prepare a speech.
"We should wait a few days, and we should also let the Prime Minister know that Her Majesty the Queen is far more loved than him." Alan Wilson began to persuade him not to act too hastily, but to show his love for the Queen anyway.
