If the Queen Mum is somehow in a position to stop this, then that means the zombie apocalypse is upon us already...in which case we'll have much bigger concerns than what Big Ben is officially named! 




So the debate topic turns to: Would the Queen Mum be the nicest zombie Evah!

Maybe, but Queen Victoria would never put up with zombies in the palace.

Probably.  She'd just wander around the countryside saying "Gin... gin...."

Any time is a good time for pie.

Greatest.

Evah.

"She loved her country. She hated zombies."

I was hoping to put that on my tombstone. One with "he" instead of "she." Guess I'll have to use something else.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'm a bit concerned that she's keeping the heads around. Seems like a bad way to spread pestilence and attract vermin.

Good point. Clearly the mark of an amateur.

Those heads were properly preserved by the royal taxidermist to serve as trophies and a warning to other hellspawn.
