BBC News - Martin McGuinness 'still pondering' meeting with Queen

The Deputy First Minister says he has not ruled out meeting the Queen in the future.
Martin McGuinness was asked about such a meeting after attending an event to promote Northern Ireland at St James' Palace in London during the week.
Speaking on the BBC's Inside Politics programme on Sunday, he said he was still pondering the issue.

Has anyone asked Her Maj if she is happy to meet with this twunt?

We live in strange times. What can one do?

She could smile sweetly, shake his hand and pin a medal on him. That would be good.

For services 'against terrorism'? Then detail his 'alledged' helping of the Security Forces in NI in the London Gazette?

Or he walks in to the Throne Room, on to plastic sheeting. 'One is having some painting done' says, Her Majesty. Masking the movements of Phil with a Welrod...

Last year I had to accompany him to Downing Street. When he was passing through the security shed (where the metal detector is) I saw one of the CO19 blokes tap his HK and nod at his mate. After McGuinness had passed through the far door the same bloke said 'It's funny old world ... a few years ago we'd have done him if we'd seen him around here'

For the record McGuinness and Brown kept me waiting in the bloody rain for about 4 hours arguing the toss with the Duppers.

Wouldn't this be at HM Queen's invitation, he just can't roll up and demand to be seen? Thank God

Bet she has not forgotten Lord Louis Mountbatten, Maybe she'd take him for a boating trip on the serpentine.

Depends if Phill the Greek decides to air his views.

Which is exactly why any UK Government should treat a request from McGuinness very carefully and tell him to **** off. On a personal note HM and duty as monarch aside why should she be forced to meet with one of the former commanders of the mob which topped her uncle.....

If he has business to partake he can put it to a junior in the FO.

Don't go stirring up those rumours about what Phil does with his Welrod when Liz has got the painters in.
