1) The queen picks the house of lords (our second line of defence)
So? We should get rid of them as well IMO.
2) She can declare peace anytime she wishes, over ruling the government.
Has she EVER done that? Do you think she will EVER do that?
Does that justify paying her $11.9Million a year of tax payers money?
Do you ever question ANYTHING about the powers that be?
Seems EVERY post of yours is trying to justify the presence of those oh so wonderful institutions. Hmmmmm.

So you've met him? How long for? A hand shake and a "hello how are you?"
How can you make a judgment on someones character from a simple meeting?
What's the first thing you hear from people when they find their neighbour just killed their family? "He seemed like such a nice guy"
Anyway the biggest idiots in the World can be "nice guys". And being a nice guy doesn't justify all the wealth and power they have.
Just think what we could do for people with $11.9 million annualy (and that's just the old queens pay check). Not to mention all their personal wealth, land etc.
You ever been to Northern England? They could use a little of that cash back, you know it was theirs to begin with (taxes).

I got two A's and a B at Alevel and was rejected by Cambridge, who expect four A grades (most people in the UK do three)
Its this sort of inequality that makes the the idea of Monarchy such a bad idea. Disgusting, he should have gone to # street poly with those grades.

Anok, are you saying that you were chased out of Britain, or that the British government was going to whack you if you didn't leave, or are you saying that you left because you don't agree with the politics?
How is it that you had to leave because of politics?

Heres a thought!!! According to a few website posts Ive read lately (STA, Rumor Mill News ect.) Bush Gov will collapse economically this month (November) and with all the indictments and investigations going on with "Scooter" Libby, Rove and Rice and the war on Terror ect. Maybe ....... ?? the US Gov will finally topple and Bush and Cheeney will be forced to step down from there positions. What better, than to have The Prince of Darkness and Wales ...... Charles HRH ..... to step in as a governmental caretaker for the US while they find a new Pres and Vice Pres. He doesnt have an agenda ...... (cough cough splutter)
He's available this first week of November ..... as he's in the US. Nobody trusts the UN to fill the position as a caretaker of anything.... So why not???
Lets get Charlie and Camilla over to caretake the Constitution for a while.
Put him up in the W/House for a while ...... HRH can invite Big Arnie over from California for company.
Ha....... it'll be like old times for everyone. :
My job as a Commonwealth member is to conduct 'Cultural Retraining Classes' for former citizens of the Republic. I'll be instructing simple things to the masses, like tea drinking, how to interact with other cultures without occupying there country, cultural awreness ..... and what it means to have a culture, how to play cricket and drive on the left. I'll also be running a weekly class in how to cook without hamburger and buns, a difficult class indeed but it should fit in nicely with Mr Beans Wine appreciation class.

Well seeing as I don't know you from adam, and this is a public forum I'm not gonna go into detail, but lets's just say if I had stayed I would have been visiting one the the queens finest establishments
...
But all is fine now, as The Who said, "You are forgiven"...
