|
|
| |
The
Queen has begun a visit to Jamaica, part of a Commonwealth
tour to mark her Golden Jubilee.
Despite strong republican sentiments on the island she was
given an enthusiastic welcome. BBC Trews Online presents
the best pictures from the Queen's first day in Jamaica. |

Many
Jamaicans noticed that the Queen picked her nose often...sometimes
until it bled. |

COMMENTS
Joy Ranshinshackle, Head of the Dept. of Traditional Dance and
Folklore, UWI:
"Yes , she happens to be an enduring symbol of painful
colonial oppression, but if it weren't for colonialism, what
the hell would I have to talk about?"

 |
| During a rainy day
visit to National Heroes Park, the Queen left a wreath,
met with war veterans and noticed a naked albino man
masturbating and eating cigarette butts out of a nearby
rubbish pan. |
 |
| "Wi
a' no Rasta!!! Big up di Queen!, screamed this excited
woman shortly before she was struck in the head by the
rear view mirror of a speeding bus. |
 |
| As a gesture of gratitude
to Jamaicans who served in World War I and II, , the
Queen offered to jerk-off veterans who still had their
genitalia. |
 |
| Even the top brass
of the Jamaican constabulary were happy to see the Queen.
This inspector managed to snap a photograph as his car
plowed through a crowd of schoolchildren. |
 |
| While attending a supper
at the University of the West Indies (UWI), the Queen
( in red ) enquired about the social responsibilty of
the institution in relation to the plight of the impoverished.
In response, the Queen was introduced to the Head of
the Department of Traditional Dance and Folklore ; who
said : " If you can dance, you forget about being
poor. You just let the music take you away. The slaves
did it a lot to forget about work in the morning." |
|
| In preparation for
the Queen, several police stations in the Downtown area
were reopened, repainted and re-stocked with dominoes
and Henieken. |
