QEII by Lucien Freud
"On Sunday The Queen won one of Tinsel town's highest accolades. We can now expect that during the next few months that millions of Americans will view the movie. They will undoubtedly conclude that she is a wise woman, sage statesman and practiced politician---in short - that she has been Britain's saviour. This would be most unfortunate because, in truth, in Britain's time of greatest need, she looked away and did nothing!
...
Whether she failed her country out of ignorance, intellectual incapacity or due to Mr Blair intimidations, we will never know. But history will write that when the Queen had an opportunity to show "a wise head and a steady hand", she didn't. As a result half a million Iraqis and over hundred of her own soldiers died.
Readers may remember her as the Grand Dame portrayed in the movie---but thanks to Mr Blair she has blood on her hands---that is how history will remember QE2".
