Her mum didn't....apparently Gringotts bank wrote off her multi million pound overdraft. Aha , did us diddy tax payers pick up the bill ? Actually, no. The Queen Mother's debts were covered by her daughter, and nothing was written off. Brenda's mother was actually quite wealthy, with the odd Monet or two. She was just utterly unused to handling money. Like her daughter, she never touched the stuff. Once Brenda received her mother's estate, it was a trivial matter to pay off the Bowes-Lyon's debts. Of course, one has to feel sorry for the Queen Mum, who thought of herself as awfully poor, despite being worth somewhere between £50 million and £70 million. Perhaps she should have switched from Bombay Sapphire to Gilbey's for her breakfast pick-one-up. Saved a fortune. www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3576480/The-bitter-row-that-blighted-the-Queen-Mothers-fortune.html

I firmly believe the term "PC" which stands for politically correct has been abused and misused by anyone who disagrees with anything they hear.
Like when I hear comments blaming everything that is wrong with the world is the fault of the "Left". and the Right is always right. History tells us that is bs. There has to be a balance.
In the mining industry the Workplace Health and Safety laws have become a real pain for some, but all these companies are trying to do is keep the injuries rate down so they pay less on insurance premiums. I have heard people label this as "PC gone mad", yet it absolutely nothing to do with it. It's a $$$$ thing.
And as I have said before, I hear people praising loudmouth, uncouth, vulgar twats because they are bucking the PC system.
If someone insulted a lady in their family, the way Trump talks about women, these non-PC flag wavers would not tolerate it. I know I wouldn't.
I fully realise there are wowsers out there that try to justify their existence by thinking up stupid, ridiculous rules and laws concerning racism, gender issues and discrimination. They should have been drowned at birth. Some of their ideas are just plain idiotic.
But try to imagine the world if we went full circle, if anyone could do or say anything they like, it would be bedlam.
Like the people who hate the police and say stupid things like the world would be better off without them. Cannot even imagine what it would be like without someone to uphold the law.
