Default Queen calls for quiet thinking!
The Queen has acknowledged the difficulty of "staying calm and collected" in an "increasingly challenging world".
The monarch was speaking as she formally opened the fifth session of the Scottish Parliament.
She stressed the need for political leaders to make "room for quiet thinking and contemplation".

Is she telling Nicola Sturgeon to shut up?!

She should be careful how much quiet contemplation she encourages... If people think too much they'll end up realising that the Monarchy is an outdated relic and she'll be out of a crown

Nicola Sturgeon will respectfully brush aside what her Majesty said I am sure of that.
It is easy for the Queen to say things like that when you are not the one fighting for a Nation and its citizens futures, and you know yours and your heirs futures for sure are secure.

Maybe the Queen is not as in touch with her subjects as she thinks she is. I dont think its the Queens place to make such comments.

Well it's ridiculous, isn't it? Hearing about an "increasingly challenging world" from someone who has been a billionaire since birth? Please...

There's not much chance of quiet thinking and contemplation in this age of the Internet, social media and 24-hour news.

Interesting fact: The queen gets her bum wiped for her.
