1. Oh of course
Wasn't she allowing the CIA and MI to use her plane's to take people to be tortured? I saw a documentary on the Sundance Channel called "Torture: It's a Dirty Business" and they mention how the Queen was on it. So it doesn't surprise me.

12. It's eerie how well the soaring Thomas Chippendale hair
and the doorknocker pearl earrings fit Mr. Blair. I really don't have much to do to put "Maggie" on for him--take in a little here and there, et voilà, he's ready to thrash beggars with his 'brolly on the sidewalk. As for the hat and the rest, I think he was going back inside to get them.
