Just posting to show off my icon my friend [livejournal.com profile] kirathaune made. *points to icon* I saw the photo on BBC News and naturally the first thing that popped into my mind was Liz Ten from The Beast Below.

So, British subjects...is is disrespectful, do you think? Personally I think she's been going around saying that to people since the episode aired.

Well they compared her to Heineken which I think is Dutch. Just found the reference, I assume it's referring to an advertising slogan:
But then Peter Hennessy, one of that select band of constitutional scholars who explain the rules of our system to the rest of us, appeared on the BBC to deliver his ruling. The only person who could settle the matter definitively was, the professor declared, the Queen. "She is the Heineken beer of our system: there are parts of our constitution only she can reach."

Sounds dangerously close to advertising on the BBC to me. Naughty professor.
