Dear oh dear. What planet are you on. I don't know anyone who thinks like you do. Are you ok ? Enjoy your fish and chips while they last.

Much better than a President. Helps prevent governments from being to extreme.

Well I'm in the real world alright, tell us all what it's like on Zog

I have no idea. Maye take a peek at Pasoti, they'll be doing your thing.
I no longer despair, more pity, provided the cult is kept under control in an humane manner.

Right on and God save the Queen

I wish her the same good luck I wish on everybody. Hardly needs it though, does she? She lucked out big time 90 years ago.

The monarchy should be abolished and the parasites that hang off it expunged and the sooner the better.

Everybody does realise she's about as English/British as Angela Merkel and is married to an eastern European migrant/refugee, don't they?

Often the very same people that hate her sort and their matrimonial choices ("coming over here and stealing our thrones...") with all their heart also seem to lap up to Her Maj in a manner that is entirely inconsistent with their other beliefs and opinions. I'm not expecting any thanks or explanation for pointing this out, although abuse is very likely, but if there is any I'd be interested to consider it.

I can't think what it could possibly be though.

I look forward to posters tieing themslves into knots as they try to defend the indefensible.

Go on! Make my day. Try it.

Why worry about Germany, or Greece, grabbing a few economic levers when it has already grabbed the biggest one of the lot?

So you wish her the same good luck that you wish everybody, yet you despise her, her family and everything that she represents.

I'll put you down as a no

Consider what?

And care to name a few examples of these "very same people"?

Bless her!
I've got many of her stamps.
And really enjoy her notes in my wallet.

You not only talk crap, it's bitter crap, my surname has German origins but doesn't make me anything else but English.

But hey you have your opinion and I, and plenty others have ours which seems to be contrary to yours.

My missus watched her birthday on the telly, I read a book. I wish her well in her dotage I just wish we didn't pay for all the palaces and limos what with the austerity we have to put up with. The lighting of the birthday beacon was hilarious though.
I expect that today she will be mourning the death of her young son (conceived out of wedlock via the King of Saudi Arabia) across the pond.

Not German?

Have a word with yourself.

Her family name is Battenberg which they altered to Mountbatten because it sounded too German and they rather hoped that the peasants, sorry - subjects, would forget that they were German and go and fight Jerry in WW2.

And then they chose Windsor because Phil's Greek name was something unprounounceable - and equally unEnglish/British sounding.

It's all a nonsense. Scrap it. Immediately.

Her family names not Battenberg, do your research pal before you start gobbing off.

However you fail to understand or your prejudices cloud your brain that we are a mix of nationalities, for example:

Take the surname Smith

Smith is a family name originating in England.

It is the most prevalent surname in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, the second most common surname in Canada, and the fifth most common surname in Ireland.

The surname Smith is particularly prevalent among those of English, Scottish and Irish descent, but is also a common surname among African Americans, which can be attributed to black slaves being forced to adopt the name during slavery and never changing the name upon the end of the era of slavery and after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.

2,376,206 Americans shared the surname Smith during the 2000 census and more than 500,000 people share it in the United Kingdom.

Does that mean a "Smith" is African, American, Irish or whoever, no it bleddy well doesn't

The Queen is descended from English Kings and Queens and from memory on her fathers side the Germans, it's inescapable Graiser. She's also descended from a few Austrians. She's also married to a Greek. Go look it up.
