Laws that the British Queen may violate


Queen Elizabeth II , of course, does not have absolute monarchy power, but it is secured by some liberties that any other British citizen does not have. These common laws and rules without consequences the British queen have the right to violate.

Passport

The absence of a passport from the Queen does not prevent her from freely traveling or solving formalities that require the availability of this document. She can not pass a passport to herself, because this document in the UK, as a rule, is issued directly on behalf of Her Majesty. To cross the border, Elizabeth II simply presents any bill where her portrait is printed.

Surname

The royal family in the past did not have a surname, because its members simply did not feel in need of it, using their own names and names of dynasties. In 1917, King George V legalized the name of Windsor for the royal family, but Elizabeth II and her close relatives, in fact, did not need anything.

Rights

To drive the car Elizabeth II does not require rights, although they still have it. The monarch received this document during her service during the war, when she was a princess. Moreover, the queen has the privilege of not meeting the speed limit in the management of the car, which she took advantage of while traveling with the future ruler of Saudi Arabia, when she frightened him with great speed.

Court

In Britain, it is believed that the monarch simply is not capable of bad deeds or even thoughts, therefore it is not possible for Elizabeth II to summon or initiate a criminal case against her. This gives the queen the right to remain completely unpunished, which is difficult to imagine in the modern world.

Taxes

The Queen is officially exempt from all kinds of taxes available in the country, but still since 1992 she prefers to pay property tax, doing this solely on a voluntary basis. The queen's father, meanwhile, advocated the complete liberation of monarchs from such payments.

Swans

Officially Elizabeth II owns all the swans of the kingdom and, in addition, dolphins living in the British waters. For this reason, hunting for these representatives of the fauna is strictly prohibited. To use swans as food is also unacceptable, but if the queen suddenly wants to taste this bird, she has the right to do so.

Freedom of information

Formally, every citizen of Britain can ask the state authorities for the desired information and, in return, receive it, subject to availability. However, this law does not apply to the royal family, since all of their affairs differ exclusively in a private character.

AIDS: how this disease has appeared

AIDS, which used to be called the "plague of the 20th century", remains one of the most dangerous and poorly studied diseases in the XXI century.  That is, they study it a lot, but reliable facts about this disease are still not enough.  One of the most mysterious topics is actually the origin of the disease. Some researchers suggest that people received HIV "as a gift" from our smaller brothers, the chimpanzee.  Others believe that the disease was artificially created in secret laboratories, while others completely deny the existence of AIDS.  Here are some of the most popular theories of the origin of this disease. Errors in the development of medicine It is believed that AIDS was first discovered in 1981 in the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (USA).  Then, about 30 men with similar symptoms were examined.  All, as one, were homosexuals, because of what the new disease was soon dubbed "gay-related immunodeficiency."

Sweeteners threaten with diabetes and heart disease

Experts in the field of healthy eating told why dietary soda is dangerous for a diet. Like harmless sweeteners disrupt metabolism and wear out enzymes that protect us from diabetes. Nowadays, artificial sweeteners can be found everywhere, but science has not yet formed a consensus on whether they are useful or harmful. Sweeteners are synthetic (for example, saccharin or aspartame), or natural (stevia), that is, extracted from plants. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved 6 varieties of artificial and two types of natural sweetener for use in food. Aspartame contains almost 6,000 foodstuffs consumed worldwide, and the American Diabetes Association officially recommends dietary soda as an alternative to those containing real sugars. However, medical research shows that sweeteners make their sad contribution to the development of chronic diabetes and cardiovascular diseases like real sugar. The problem with these seemingly non-calorie substances is that they are not...
