the aborted babies the sexual perversion the growth of Islam all signed into LAW by her art testimony against her May GOD ALMIGHTY HAVE MERCY ON HER SOUL
"It is needless to spend much time in exposing the folly of hereditary right; if there are any so weak as to believe it, let them promiscuously worship the ass and lion, and welcome it. I shall neither copy their humility, nor disturb their devotion."
The Royal family is British and not American. We have our own problems over here and it hurts my feelings when someone says something about my country. Like it or not it's mine and I feel that the people in other countries see it the same way. . Freedom of speech is a wonderful right, but so is kindness therefore I'll hold up the Union Jack with the Brits anytime they want, and say: "God Save The Queen!"
I cannot understand how an intelligent and educated people like the english people ,are willing to put up with this so called royal family,they are a burden on the tax payer,they own vast tracts of land which was never theres to own in the first place,they look down there noses on the rest of the english people and think they are better than them,and to top things off there not even english,there GERMAN.
A bunch of bigots and racists is all they are.Thank god we kicked them out,as have many .

These people need to be killed off in order for any justice to prevail in this world. Fuck these German in-breads, kill them all. Jihad on these nazi fuckers!
well said, couldnt word it better myself. they are british. more than you could ever be. no one has perfect ancestry of all british people. and we know for a fact with the queen on one side it goes back to more than any one else. more british than any one
I agree. Constitutional monarchy is the most sophisticated form of government in the world and flourishes in countries which are among the most politically, socially and economically progressive. Long may it continue!
Sophisticated my arse! Why is it then that the most modern and successful progressive democracies are Republics? Are you saying that to have a head of state that is only that simply because of birth? Hardly progressive, old fashioned and irrelevant!
They're not, you half wit! Look around Europe! The most modern and progressive states are the constitutional monarchies!. The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the UK. All totally secure and sophisticated parliamentary democracies - a contrast to the fractured democratic history of France, Germany and Italy over the past 50 years.!! The restoration of the Spanish monarchy has been central to the success of that country's return to democracy.
Which is the most powerful nation in the world and which is the most powerful country in europe? Both Republics. And again all monarchists also choose to ignore the US. The one benefit the European monarchies have over ours, is that they are accountable, far more than ours. The stability of our system has little to do with the monarchy, another red herron! The royals are lucky Blair saved their arses after Diana's death!
I think this message is packed full of your famous red "herrons" The United States is irrelevant - it has no monarchical history or tradition. I suspect you know virtually nothing about the workings or accountability of other European monarchies. The monarchy in the UK plays a major part in the stability and cohesion of the country - it is central to all aspects of British life and identity.
Rubbish as usual, up until 1776ish the americans had as much monarchist traditions as we did, however the founding fathers saw sense, in addition the English have a tradition of rebelling against monarchy and hereditary privilege. The monarchy is seen as increasingly irrelevant in the UK. Accountable you say! Why are they exempt from the FOA pray tell? The monarchy does not represent me. Your argument justs projects the royalist myth
The majority of people in the United Kingdom value and support the constitutional monarchy. So you - and the ENORMOUS chip on your shoulder - will just have to put up with it!

Is the statement "enormous chip on your shoulder" the best you can come up with? As i said if we had an unbiased media, royal support would slump. As it is with the biased media under 25s are pretty much split 40-40 with the rest undecided on this question, so i wouldn't be too complacent about the monarchy hanging on fro too long after queenie croaks and of course the Aussies, Kiwis and Canadians will soon be republics, which will assist our cause!

You have a tendency to start your arguments with abuse, it doesn't look big and it certainly doesn't make you look clever! You're doing yourself and the monarchists a disservice. We'll put this down to insecurity shall we!
Believe me, plenty of us dont agree with this stupid system. At the moment about 25% of the british public do not support the monarchy and thats with all the media biase, if we had the truth about the royals then that figure would shoot up.
Its a source of real pleasure to me that British republicans contribute so much to the popularity of the monarchy. The offensive personal abuse of the Queen and the royal family, the xenophobia and racism (the Greek and German nonsense) and the hugely arrogant - and patronising - tone so many republicans adopt (royalists are childish, naive, subservient etc etc - a al Claire Raynor! ) makes and confirms royalist by the thousands . So, thanks...
The royals leave themselves open to abuse and sarcasm, simply because they are such a closed organisation, besides its the English way, not to be too deferential. Very few of us are racist and xenophobic. in fact aren't you defending people that have proven to be just that?! Monarchists are subservient, thats the whole point!
Not sure what all the arguments are about. I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything I have seen of the UK. I love that they are( or seem to be ) totally steeped in tradition. It is abeautiful beautiful land. I also love America though. We really need to get along...the regular class citizens of both countries really aren't all that different, are we?
But if you want to know who real Anglophobes are, look up the name of Ernest King. A US Naval Admiral during the WW2 era who was a passionate Anglophobe.
I read a little about him on Wikipedia. I wouldn't care how anglophobic he was if it didn't interfere with his professional judgement, and the article seems to suggest it did.
Ernest King's Anglgophoibia did cloud his judgement. So much that his decision to deny ROyal Navy back up in the Second Happy Time costed the USA a lot of sailors lives lost at sea. He despised Churchill and every chance he got, he tried to deny the British any participation in the Pacific War which was being headed by Chester Nimitz. He was an Anglophobe.
Not many people know this, but the United Kingdom's Royal Family is partly responsible for Nazi Germany's Holocaust from 1933-1945. A grandson of Victoria I, Charles-Edward was Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha in fascist Germany who also ran the German Red Cross, the organization that made German doctors euthanize thousands of sick and dying people under Hitler's plan of mass extermination. Likewise, Victoria's great-great grandson, Edward VIII was an ally of Hitler and Wallis Simpson was a Nazi spy.
Since you're so knowledgeable about Charles Edward, you'll know he was 'excommunicated' from the British Royal Family, having been stripped of all his titles in 1917 by George V. Unless what you're trying to say is that all Queen Victoria's descendants are somehow guilty by association? And by 'partly responsible for' did you mean 'aware of'? Either way he was a sad, stupid old fool of whom the Nazis took complete advantage. Peace!
To FusionWarrior: You also forgot to mention that the Duke of Saxe Coburg was a prisoner of war during the American occupation. Princess Alice, a cousin of Charles-Edward tried to negotitate his release, but General George S. Patton would here nothing of the sort. And thankfully. Charles=Edward was a traitor to his family and to his country. But Edward VIII (a.k.a. Duke of Windsor) was no better. If he were King of Great Britain in the 2nd World War, the country would have been ruled by Hitler.
Not sure how his being a POW was relevant? In truth he was a broken, sick man at that point. Princess Alice who petitioned Patton for his release was his sister, and I think it is right that Patton duly refused. Edward VIII was a total disaster, I agree - I don't accept however that had he been King we would have 'been ruled by Hitler'. Parliament would never have allowed it, nor would my (nor any of our) grandfathers!
To FusionWarrior: If I were the King of England, which might I add, I myself have more English blood than Elizabeth II. Upon my coronation, I would dissolve Parliament and install and appoint my own government. In World War Two, I would have declared Great Britain a neutral country like Switzerland has always been. And likewise, if I were the King, I would have gotten rid of those god damn Welsh Corgis that nip at the Queen's feet.
More English blood than the Queen; that's impressive! So you and both your parents were born in GB, and you can trace a direct line of English ancestry to 1068? If any monarch were to dissolve parliament without exceptionally good reasons, I'm afraid their reign would be shorter than that of Lady Jane Grey. Regarding a neutral stance in WWII, you'd have been happy to sit back and let Hitler have his way with Europe? In which case, are you heartless or spineless?
To FusionWarrior: I am not personally born in england, but I have ancestors that start from American Colonials broguht over on the boat from England. Benedict Arnold one of them. And then going from the Jacobites, pre-English Civil War and Charles II. I have the papers and documentation to prove it. An aunt of mine did all the research back in the 1930's and subsequently wrote a book on a family of mine that I am related to in England, the Maudlins.
To FusionWarrior: Just because an 82 year old woman who was born in the United Kingdom does not necessarily make her British. Her ancestors are German, and her husband is a Greek. The United Kingdom does not have a pure race. They are mutts just like people of the United States. A complete and utter melting pot of immigrants.
Good God, you're obstinate. She was born here, her parents were, her grandparents were and 5 of her 8 great-grandparents were. If she's not British by now, who is? By that measure I'm not British either.
To FusionWarrior: King James II was the last true reigning British monarch. After that the British sovereign was nothing but an import from other countries. The House of Stuart, the last of the royal houses of England and Scotland was no more. Wiliam and Mary were Dutch. And all the successive Georges were German. Hence why Victoria was known as the Grandmother of Europe.
You don't really know what you're talking about, do you? Mary was NOT Dutch, and on William's death the Throne passed back to her English sister Anne. Furthermore, George I was born in Germany (that doesn't automatically make him German by your 'logic' though, right?) but was descended, through the maternal line, from James I of England, and therefore the House of Stuart: by your own admission a British Royal House. Game, set, match.
To FusionWarrior: Queen Anne was a lesbian, hence why she was childless. William of Orange was Dutch. George I was German. The same applies to George II. George III was a psychotpath and cuckoo in the head. George IV a play boy, William IV a greasy homosexual, Victoria was an eccentric recluse who committed incest with her first cousin Albert, Edward VII a fat womanizer, George V normal, Edward VIII a Nazi, George VI a retard wih a stammer. Elizabeth II a pruddish snob.
None of that has anything to do with what we're discussing, so I'll ignore it. You claim that Elizabeth II is German because some of her ancestors were born there whilst insisting that George I was German too (despite his having some British ancestors). Having made my points, I can only politely suggest that you rethink your position.
To FusionWarrior: Do not confuse my disdain for the British Royal Family for my fondness for you.
Let's consider the fact that The Windsors has a German sounding name even up to the First World War-- Saxe-Coburg Gotha. Victoria's first cousin was Kaiser Wilhelm. And technically speaking, the current Prince of Hanover, Ernest August (now married to Princess Caroline of Monaco) has a big claim to the British throne even today. He is also a Prince of the United Kingdom and Great Britain.
Of course you're fond of me, I'm delightful. You've said since I last contributed that the only race which is pure is 'the slimey Chinese', so since you admit that most Royals (and people) are mongrels, I'm just not sure what all this House of Windsor-bashing is in aid of. Is it just that you want to see a Republic of Great Britain? That's fine; that's your opinion. I disagree, and to be frank my vote counts for more on this issue.
To FusionWarrior: There are many people in your country whowant a Republic with an elected Head of State. They do not want a peerage system as is seen in the House of Lords. Britain is a democracy, but loosely adopted since the UK even to this day,does not have a written or codified Constitution.
Keep in mind, my bashing of the Queen is not solely directed at her as a person. It's the institution in which she represents. She's 82 years old. It's time for her to throw in the towel.
There are many people who want a Republic, you're right. The percentage varies from 20% to 30%. That means that between 70 and 80% want to keep the Monarchy. Sounds like a healthy democratic majority, no? The powers of the Lords has been curbed since early last century, and the Brown government has plans to make the House of Lords directly elected. Why do we need a single document as Constitution? I know yours is sacred to you, but our laws are fine as they are, thanks...
To FusionWarrior: Well the UK lately and it's people has claimed to be the 'leaders of the free world' that is even more democratic than the US of A. Let's see you elect a Head of State and write a Constitution. No titles, no primogeniture, no peerage, and no honours. Even I will be convinced then.
Who claimed that? I certainly didn't. I repeat: We don't need a codified constitution. Personally, I think putting everything into one document has raised your Constitution a bit too far above proper scrutiny, but that's your country's business. An election for Head of State would be a pointless gesture; Liz would win in a landslide. And regarding a country without titles etc, which country doesn't have some kind of hereditary system? Exhibit A for the prosecution: Paris Hilton.
Americans are citizens and not subjects. We are not allowed to be dukes, earls, viscounts, marquis', sirs, lords, kings, or princes. Most people in this country who have high status are self-made and were not born into it, unless you are a Rockefeller, Kennedy, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Bush, or Roosevelt. And most of those prominent families have died out.
But just as Britain has it's institution of monarchy, America does as well-- capitalism.
What's the difference? I'm not obliged to show the Queen any more respect than you are your President. The rest is all semantics. As long as the majority of British people are happy for the country to remain a monarchy, it will. What is more democratic than that? Now about capitalism: are you suggesting that Britain is not a capitalist country? And when you say 'high status' do you mean wealth or office? Because the most important people in this country are not nobility, as I'm sure you know.
Actually yes you do. When you join the British Armed Forces, you swear allegiance to Queen and Country. Your British passport is in Her Majesty's name. You are a subject not a citizen. Her face is on the stamps, coins, and pound notes.
The President is an equal citizen who is "guardian and protector" of the people's government. He has term limits and is elected.
The UK is socialist like the all of Europe and not capitalist. You've a free market, but in principle, the UK is a social state
You're losing me now. Most of what you wrote is either exaggeration or pure nonsense. The Queen *represents* the sovereign power of the British people, so oaths of allegiance to her are symbolic, in the same way that you people pledge allegiance to your flag. Except we have the religious freedom to exclude God from ours. ;)
Seperation of Church and State exists in the USA. The British Government and the Church of England are united. Hence, the official religion of the Uk is Anglicamism whereas the USA has freedom of religion.
Sorry, I'm not budging on that. We do a much better impersonation of a secular society. The Queen has to give Royal Assent to laws which go against the Church of England's positions on a regular basis. In comparison look at the debates surrounding abortion, same-sex marriage, stem cell research etc in your country, as well as the pledge I already mentioned.
Finally, your rant has jumped from the ethnicity of the Windsors, to the Monarchy in general, to the British health service... Are you just anti-British? It's ok to admit if you are.
Not really an anglophobe, but your arguments veer from one anti-Brit topic to another. It is some idiots from this country who harass, condemn and abuse all Americans on YouTube, not 'the British'. And do you imagine that all your compatriots act with the same civility that you do? Because I'm afraid a good number of them don't. I'm sorry if you feel victimised by morons running amuck on YouTube, but that's what happens when you're a citizen of the world's most powerful country. Unfair, I know.
The United STates is not the most powerful country in the world. Politically and in a military way of speaking, yes we definitely are. And we do have a cultural hegemony on a global scale. Economically, China now holds all of the cards.
Americans have never thought of their country as this great "superpower" that the world thinks of us. We are different from the British Empire in that we never went for an all out conquest for land. We imposed economic colonialism in world markets.
I seem to observe a lot ofhatred from our British cousins rather than see Americans bashing other peoples cultures and race. As well as the Germans and French. Of course, ther Germans though are experts are hatred. Afterall,they committed genocide on 6 million Jewish.
Absolutely astounding how most in Europe trust countries such as Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea over their traditional American partners. And there will come a day when we will look back and remember. And we'll remind you
There is a lot of anti-Americanism, I admit (although it's much less pronounced in the UK than elsewhere). Believe me, I will challenge it wherever I find it, and I won't stop until it exists no more. Now I've acknowledged that some morons are anti-American, but it's only a very small, mostly insane minority who would prefer to align with any of the countries you listed. I can't think of anyone like that, even though I know some truly rabidly left-wing people.
For instance, the National Health Care System in the UK, it is socialized medicine. Everything is subsidized.
Europe is into "big" government with high taxesto support it's social structure. That's why it is dirt cheap to live in the USA. Higher wages and salaries with lower taxes.
You must realise how ignorant it sounds to describe a whole continent as socialist. Europe has wildly divergent political views. When you say everything is 'subsidized', do you mean in the health service? Because, to a point, that is true. However your government actually spends more on health than we do. Your education system, emergency services and military are 'subsidized', does that make you socialist? UK taxes are not wildly higher than yours, check it out. About 5% higher on average.
True you do have larger disposable incomes, but that's primarily because the cost of goods and services is lower, not because taxes are (all of 5%) lower. I've got a nice article you could read if you want. Now Monaco is a tax haven. ;)
the crown is taken by those who can take it, pre roman britain is just a stupid thing to say the norman conquest was a brilliant thing and their nobles mixed with the anglo saxon nobles, the anglo saxons are part germanic anyway, people mix, and if it was not for the mixing there would not be a throne of great britian.
and for me that is fine seeing as the vast majority of the population is part of the same bunch of national mix, and that has sutied our nation very well and we have benifited greatly from it
To ruleBritaania1: I admire and respect Queen Elizabeth as a person and as a human being, but I have disdain for the institution in which she represents. Monarchy is archaic and a complete throw back to feudalism.
and when it is constitutional and subject to popular consent and has been reformed for the past 1000years, part of a two house westminster parlimentary system it is very effective and liked, just because things are old does not make them bad or wrong, the system we have is hardly feudal the current capitalist system of big bussines is more along the lines of feudal rule.
Do you like beinga subject of an 82 year old woman? Since when is she any better than you or me? Heads of State should be elected by the people and for the people, with term limits and powers vested and granted onto them. that is a representative democracy.
yes i do as a matter of fact, she is not any better or any worse of a person than anyboddy and this is of not importance, who are you to say what a head of state should and should not be for a ntion that is not your own. she does have power limits its all part of the fact that she is constitutional and in a way she is given a mandate to rule by the people as if she was not popular then she would go. and we are represented in the house of commons and lords. if it aint broke dont fix it
To rule Britannia1: I am not to say what powers your Head of State should and ought to have since I am not British. That is for the British people to decide, which for the most part they have not had that opportunity since Britain has a peerage system that swears allegiance to Queen and Country. Your Head of Government, Gordon Brown is an elected official, but it is The Queen's government and it is her perogative to form, abolish, and to call for elections. The people need self-determination.
there will only be a referenda on the monarchy when it is needed it is constitutional and only exists due to popular concent if the people do not want here then she will go and she has said this, these powers are also constitutional and the last time they were used in this nation was hundereds of years ago, and they work part and parcle with the PM. we do have self determination seeing the main powers are vested in the house of commons and its still a counter measure to the monarchy.
And I would never expect that to change. 1000 years of ruling by divine right.
I only what your feelings will be when Charles III comes to the throne on the death of the current Queen. Afterall, he is a divorcee and a well known adulterer.
the rule by devine right stoped with the civil war, and it became invite and apointed by parliment, i think he will be a very good king he is very interested in the people and national matters of local issues he is a keen man of the land so it will be good for future governments camila on the other hand is a lazy horse who would be put to better use in the glue factory, most royal familys had a "loose" marrige only a few were for real love GR III and VR.
To ruleBritannia1: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Ki9ngdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and all her other Realms and Territories--- she rules by the grace of GOD and as such, she is defender of the FAITH
by the grace of god and divine right are not the same, she is defender of the faith as she is the head of the church of england, goes back when the monarch protected the COE from catholic intervention
The "Royal family" had their surname changed to Windsor at the outbreak of W.W.1 to distance themselves from their German roots and make them sound more English. Saxe-Coburg Gotha is their real surname.
ermmm, the Queen was born in England as were her mother and father for that matter - makes her pretty English to me. She's also descended from King Egbert of England (9th century) - he wasn't German either lol. And why on earth you think the Brits care whether some of her ancestors were German is beyond me - I know no-one who does. I assume you're an American (though you haven't the balls to state you're nationality)-if so, it's a bit rich for you to abuse someone for coming from foreign stock.
Melonhead82, you are an oaf: "Great" Britain (Grande Bretagne) was given its name to distinguish it from the lesser territory across the channel. It has nothing to do with indutrial revolutions / empire etc....
And you, Kingnichendrix, seem to be another sub-literate incapable of holding a logical view.
its called great britian because there are two iles in the british isles one being litle or minor britian(ireland) and the other being bigger or great britian its just as the name implies size
Please don't insult Her Majesty. This women has devoted her life in the service of her People, her Britain and her Commonwealth.
Canada and I are very proud to be part of Her Majesty's Commonwealth. How can't you love some who has devoted her life and doing the job she never wanted.
The Queen has has to show the way with a strong will (whatever her feelings) through troubled times for the UK. She is a figurehead who works tiressly for our country so I say respect them.
My oppinion. Despite the stereotypical view of the queen that a wanabe majority share (in reality minority) the royal family are an extremely hard working institution. They represent this country and they trawl the earth ever improving our reputation. Prince Andrew for example is hard working in creating more chances for British Businesess abroad etc. Princess Anne is patron to over 200 charities.
I have noticed a great amount of tosh which has been written by anti monarchy idiots. But hey everyones entitled to their own oppinion. Anyway feel free to comment whatever your position (it's a free country). But I would rather you had a better foundation for your arguments than a load of you people out there. Also despite me not understanding why antis are watching this video stop putting thumbs down on peoples comments to make you look like a majority!

A free country, is it? Who elected the British Royal Family to their present privileged positions? Longevitiy is not an argument against disestablishment of the monarchy.
Good for all folk of Britany because years that they love the queen when all the world become democratic! I'm not British but I love England because of that!!
God save the QUEEN!!! (and forgeiv me my English is very bad:S)
Okay if nothing else give credit to the Queen for riding above exerything with dignity. Conducting herself in a manner far removed from those of us allowed to be and act as we wish. This is what we want in a President of the USA. I want the LEADER of my country to be the "cream of the crop" Better than the average person not just average. I want a KING REAGEN DAMMIT@!@!@!
You dont mean Ronald Reagan? He was a mean, evil bastard abd biggot. He took benefits away from our nations veterns and blocked AIDS funding for research and his filthy Republicans backed him all the way..He rubbed off on the in way that not even Ajax will scrub off.
Working for a living , paying taxes , giving to charities, volunteering in my community. Burying my father at Bushnell military cemetary. Have you ever lived on foreign soil or served time in one of our prisons. Have you ever listen to Yes., Jethro Tull or King Crimson or are you a country music fan?Are you a ....gulp....Democrap?
If it wasn't for the British. There would be no USA! Spain paid for Columus to find a new world and he set foot on an island. That is where he met Gilligan and called it America.
God Save Our Queen, shis a ruller of the Natoins and she will always be no matter what, There is a reason why its called Great Britain of United Kingdom in your face to all you haters.
listen mate im a royal marine..have been since i left school at 16, and did you KNOW that just about all of us DESPISE the royal family??? theres food for though. Also if the conservatives get back in we can all see this country taken back into the pits of despair that it was in during the 80's and early 90s etc. No thanks..as a serviceman we've never had it better kit wise since this labour govt supplied us with the best kit for years.
NESTYLEPKR you to are racist calling italians greasy,you are talking of the greatest race of all,the latin race ,you idot.I agree when you say that the royal family is racist and they all should be killed.
Since 2005 , Mittal has been the richest person residing in the United Kingdom. He is the President of the Board of Directors and CEO of Arcelor Mittal; Arcelor Mittal is the world's largest producer of steel, with assets in France, Belgium, Romania....Although Mittal has been living abroad for many years, he claims he will remain an Indian because they dominate.

The british are fuckin losers, they can't even win in soccer and just replaced the whole staff with greasy Italians, as far as the queen goes I hope she burns in hell (if it exists)...
come on mr, canadian soccer is neither here nor there many matches are fixed thats probably why canada hasnt won much at all, a couple of italians can be tolerated Im sure,
as far as the queen goes - I dont wish burning on her but I would like god save the queen(i dont sing it) to be god save the people.
I won't get into politics, not my place being a yank. As far as myself and most people in the U.S. we greatly admire and respect the Queen. She is a smart and classy ladie, and a wonderful representitive for Great Briton.(love a visit from her over here!)I know by posting this I'll probably get a lot of thumbs down, appears to be monitored by anti- Queen forces lol. But am willing to take that chance.Long and happy life to the Queen.
Here's another Yank who agrees with you:). And I hope the British-American Special Relationship continues to thrive. I have to add though--this is an absolutely lovely rendition of Jerusalem.
She is,like any other member of the royal family a paracite.What we need is another Robespierre and a guillottine in order to chop all of theirs fucking head off.You bunch of knob heads think of the people instead of those paracites.Unlike you i am evolved,monarchy belong the past,communism belong the future.
people might not like this family but they bring in so much wealth they are our disney land, tourists come in there thosands to see the royal hot spots where would this country be without the people who visit. so get rid of them fine. then what people find something and somewhere else to go and visit. then the knock on effect us guys living day to day. jobs etc etc
as for the royal family costing so much money which only stupid people talk about they cost 42p per person in this country. they generate more than £50 million pound a year in tourism trade, so they don't you £37.4 million they cost you 42p
Her and her ancestors - back when then had their own power - gave us the western world we love today. They weren't always a barrel of laughs though.
I'm British/Australian and grew up with a massive portrait of the queen hanging in my parents hall... so maybe I'm a bit biased! But I do admire her a lot and I have a funny feeling she may be the last Queen Regnant. Elizabeth the Last some people have said. Vivat regina elizabtha...
I don't actually have a problem with her personally, whatever, she's a human being just like me; it's just the idea that they take money off the working class - well, everyone actually - when they're already so rich. Surely they could just stop taxing us.
Also the fact that she doesn't really do much. Granted, she does bring in a lot of money to the country every year through tourism, but apart from that...
Fuck off, the royal family costs tax-payers £37.4 million every fucking year.
Why should they have that right?
It pisses me off that all you fuckers who love them so much are only bothered about ranting about the poor people who are on benefits-who actually need the money, but you don't give a shit that the biggest case of benefit fraud has been going on for decades. The "Royal" Family.
But she has a right to have this money as she is the queen and it what makes britain nationalistically proud, we could of had a successfull rebellion against monachs like france did, but we are not the same as the french cowards.
bollox we need a republic she brings more revenue to my country than a bleedin president

They're not, you half wit! Look around Europe! The most modern and progressive states are the constitutional monarchies!. The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the UK. All totally secure and sophisticated parliamentary democracies - a contrast to the fractured democratic history of France, Germany and Italy over the past 50 years.!! The restoration of the Spanish monarchy has been central to the success of that country's return to democracy.

Which is the most powerful nation in the world and which is the most powerful country in europe? Both Republics. And again all monarchists also choose to ignore the US.

I think this message is packed full of your famous red "herrons" The United States is irrelevant - it has no monarchical history or tradition.

Ernest King's Anglgophoibia did cloud his judgement. So much that his decision to deny ROyal Navy back up in the Second Happy Time costed the USA a lot of sailors lives lost at sea. He despised Churchill and every chance he got, he tried to deny the British any participation in the Pacific War which was being headed by Chester Nimitz. He was an Anglophobe.

Not many people know this, but the United Kingdom's Royal Family is partly responsible for Nazi Germany's Holocaust from 1933-1945. A grandson of Victoria I, Charles-Edward was Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha in fascist Germany who also ran the German Red Cross, the organization that made German doctors euthanize thousands of sick and dying people under Hitler's plan of mass extermination. Likewise, Victoria's great-great grandson, Edward VIII was an ally of Hitler and Wallis Simpson was a Nazi spy.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
Since you're so knowledgeable about Charles Edward, you'll know he was 'excommunicated' from the British Royal Family, having been stripped of all his titles in 1917 by George V. Unless what you're trying to say is that all Queen Victoria's descendants are somehow guilty by association? And by 'partly responsible for' did you mean 'aware of'? Either way he was a sad, stupid old fool of whom the Nazis took complete advantage. Peace!
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: You also forgot to mention that the Duke of Saxe Coburg was a prisoner of war during the American occupation. Princess Alice, a cousin of Charles-Edward tried to negotitate his release, but General George S. Patton would here nothing of the sort. And thankfully. Charles=Edward was a traitor to his family and to his country. But Edward VIII (a.k.a. Duke of Windsor) was no better. If he were King of Great Britain in the 2nd World War, the country would have been ruled by Hitler.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
Not sure how his being a POW was relevant? In truth he was a broken, sick man at that point. Princess Alice who petitioned Patton for his release was his sister, and I think it is right that Patton duly refused. Edward VIII was a total disaster, I agree - I don't accept however that had he been King we would have 'been ruled by Hitler'. Parliament would never have allowed it, nor would my (nor any of our) grandfathers!
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: If I were the King of England, which might I add, I myself have more English blood than Elizabeth II. Upon my coronation, I would dissolve Parliament and install and appoint my own government. In World War Two, I would have declared Great Britain a neutral country like Switzerland has always been. And likewise, if I were the King, I would have gotten rid of those god damn Welsh Corgis that nip at the Queen's feet.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
More English blood than the Queen; that's impressive! So you and both your parents were born in GB, and you can trace a direct line of English ancestry to 1068? If any monarch were to dissolve parliament without exceptionally good reasons, I'm afraid their reign would be shorter than that of Lady Jane Grey. Regarding a neutral stance in WWII, you'd have been happy to sit back and let Hitler have his way with Europe? In which case, are you heartless or spineless?

To FusionWarrior: Just because an 82 year old woman who was born in the United Kingdom does not necessarily make her British. Her ancestors are German, and her husband is a Greek. The United Kingdom does not have a pure race. They are mutts just like people of the United States. A complete and utter melting pot of immigrants.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
Good God, you're obstinate. She was born here, her parents were, her grandparents were and 5 of her 8 great-grandparents were. If she's not British by now, who is? By that measure I'm not British either.
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: King James II was the last true reigning British monarch. After that the British sovereign was nothing but an import from other countries. The House of Stuart, the last of the royal houses of England and Scotland was no more. Wiliam and Mary were Dutch. And all the successive Georges were German. Hence why Victoria was known as the Grandmother of Europe.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
You don't really know what you're talking about, do you? Mary was NOT Dutch, and on William's death the Throne passed back to her English sister Anne. Furthermore, George I was born in Germany (that doesn't automatically make him German by your 'logic' though, right?) but was descended, through the maternal line, from James I of England, and therefore the House of Stuart: by your own admission a British Royal House. Game, set, match.
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: Queen Anne was a lesbian, hence why she was childless. William of Orange was Dutch. George I was German. The same applies to George II. George III was a psychotpath and cuckoo in the head. George IV a play boy, William IV a greasy homosexual, Victoria was an eccentric recluse who committed incest with her first cousin Albert, Edward VII a fat womanizer, George V normal, Edward VIII a Nazi, George VI a retard wih a stammer. Elizabeth II a pruddish snob.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
None of that has anything to do with what we're discussing, so I'll ignore it. You claim that Elizabeth II is German because some of her ancestors were born there whilst insisting that George I was German too (despite his having some British ancestors). Having made my points, I can only politely suggest that you rethink your position.
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: Do not confuse my disdain for the British Royal Family for my fondness for you.
Let's consider the fact that The Windsors has a German sounding name even up to the First World War-- Saxe-Coburg Gotha. Victoria's first cousin was Kaiser Wilhelm. And technically speaking, the current Prince of Hanover, Ernest August (now married to Princess Caroline of Monaco) has a big claim to the British throne even today. He is also a Prince of the United Kingdom and Great Britain.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
Of course you're fond of me, I'm delightful. You've said since I last contributed that the only race which is pure is 'the slimey Chinese', so since you admit that most Royals (and people) are mongrels, I'm just not sure what all this House of Windsor-bashing is in aid of. Is it just that you want to see a Republic of Great Britain? That's fine; that's your opinion. I disagree, and to be frank my vote counts for more on this issue.
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: There are many people in your country whowant a Republic with an elected Head of State. They do not want a peerage system as is seen in the House of Lords. Britain is a democracy, but loosely adopted since the UK even to this day,does not have a written or codified Constitution.
Keep in mind, my bashing of the Queen is not solely directed at her as a person. It's the institution in which she represents. She's 82 years old. It's time for her to throw in the towel.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
There are many people who want a Republic, you're right. The percentage varies from 20% to 30%. That means that between 70 and 80% want to keep the Monarchy. Sounds like a healthy democratic majority, no? The powers of the Lords has been curbed since early last century, and the Brown government has plans to make the House of Lords directly elected. Why do we need a single document as Constitution? I know yours is sacred to you, but our laws are fine as they are, thanks...
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
To FusionWarrior: Well the UK lately and it's people has claimed to be the 'leaders of the free world' that is even more democratic than the US of A. Let's see you elect a Head of State and write a Constitution. No titles, no primogeniture, no peerage, and no honours. Even I will be convinced then.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
Who claimed that? I certainly didn't. I repeat: We don't need a codified constitution. Personally, I think putting everything into one document has raised your Constitution a bit too far above proper scrutiny, but that's your country's business. An election for Head of State would be a pointless gesture; Liz would win in a landslide. And regarding a country without titles etc, which country doesn't have some kind of hereditary system? Exhibit A for the prosecution: Paris Hilton.

Americans are citizens and not subjects. We are not allowed to be dukes, earls, viscounts, marquis', sirs, lords, kings, or princes. Most people in this country who have high status are self-made and were not born into it, unless you are a Rockefeller, Kennedy, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Bush, or Roosevelt. And most of those prominent families have died out.
But just as Britain has it's institution of monarchy, America does as well-- capitalism.
YogaNate79 3 years ago
What's the difference? I'm not obliged to show the Queen any more respect than you are your President. The rest is all semantics. As long as the majority of British people are happy for the country to remain a monarchy, it will. What is more democratic than that? Now about capitalism: are you suggesting that Britain is not a capitalist country? And when you say 'high status' do you mean wealth or office? Because the most important people in this country are not nobility, as I'm sure you know.
FusionWarrior 3 years ago
Actually yes you do. When you join the British Armed Forces, you swear allegiance to Queen and Country. Your British passport is in Her Majesty's name. You are a subject not a citizen. Her face is on the stamps, coins, and pound notes.
The President is an equal citizen who is "guardian and protector" of the people's government. He has term limits and is elected.
The UK is socialist like the all of Europe and not capitalist. You've a free market, but in principle, the UK is a social state
YogaNate79 3 years ago
You're losing me now. Most of what you wrote is either exaggeration or pure nonsense. The Queen *represents* the sovereign power of the British people, so oaths of allegiance to her are symbolic, in the same way that you people pledge allegiance to your flag. Except we have the religious freedom to exclude God from ours. ;)

Seperation of Church and State exists in the USA. The British Government and the Church of England are united. Hence, the official religion of the Uk is Anglicamism whereas the USA has freedom of religion.

The United STates is not the most powerful country in the world. Politically and in a military way of speaking, yes we definitely are. And we do have a cultural hegemony on a global scale. Economically, China now holds all of the cards.
Americans have never thought of their country as this great "superpower" that the world thinks of us. We are different from the British Empire in that we never went for an all out conquest for land. We imposed economic colonialism in world markets.

For instance, the National Health Care System in the UK, it is socialized medicine. Everything is subsidized.

YogaNate79 3 years ago
You must realise how ignorant it sounds to describe a whole continent as socialist. Europe has wildly divergent political views. When you say everything is 'subsidized', do you mean in the health service? Because, to a point, that is true. However your government actually spends more on health than we do. Your education system, emergency services and military are 'subsidized', does that make you socialist? UK taxes are not wildly higher than yours, check it out. About 5% higher on average.

To rule Britannia1: I am not to say what powers your Head of State should and ought to have since I am not British. That is for the British people to decide, which for the most part they have not had that opportunity since Britain has a peerage system that swears allegiance to Queen and Country. Your Head of Government, Gordon Brown is an elected official, but it is The Queen's government and it is her perogative to form, abolish, and to call for elections. The people need self-determination.

there will only be a referenda on the monarchy when it is needed it is constitutional and only exists due to popular concent if the people do not want here then she will go and she has said this, these powers are also constitutional and the last time they were used in this nation was hundereds of years ago, and they work part and parcle with the PM. we do have self determination seeing the main powers are vested in the house of commons and its still a counter measure to the monarchy.

The Queen has has to show the way with a strong will (whatever her feelings) through troubled times for the UK. She is a figurehead who works tiressly for our country so I say respect them.

My oppinion. Despite the stereotypical view of the queen that a wanabe majority share (in reality minority) the royal family are an extremely hard working institution. They represent this country and they trawl the earth ever improving our reputation. Prince Andrew for example is hard working in creating more chances for British Businesess abroad etc. Princess Anne is patron to over 200 charities.

I have noticed a great amount of tosh which has been written by anti monarchy idiots. But hey everyones entitled to their own oppinion. Anyway feel free to comment whatever your position (it's a free country). But I would rather you had a better foundation for your arguments than a load of you people out there. Also despite me not understanding why antis are watching this video stop putting thumbs down on peoples comments to make you look like a majority!

A free country, is it? Who elected the British Royal Family to their present privileged positions? Longevitiy is not an argument against disestablishment of the monarchy.

The Royal DNA/bloodline are no longer
as popular with the public worldwide.
Whenever they tour the controlled MEDIA
stage camera shots, this was evident in
Australia...and no I dont hate them.

Okay if nothing else give credit to the Queen for riding above exerything with dignity. Conducting herself in a manner far removed from those of us allowed to be and act as we wish. This is what we want in a President of the USA. I want the LEADER of my country to be the "cream of the crop" Better than the average person not just average. I want a KING REAGEN DAMMIT@!@!@!

Also if the conservatives get back in we can all see this country taken back into the pits of despair that it was in during the 80's and early 90s etc. No thanks..as a serviceman we've never had it better kit wise since this labour govt supplied us with the best kit for years.

Since 2005 , Mittal has been the richest person residing in the United Kingdom. He is the President of the Board of Directors and CEO of Arcelor Mittal; Arcelor Mittal is the world's largest producer of steel, with assets in France, Belgium, Romania....Although Mittal has been living abroad for many years, he claims he will remain an Indian because they dominate.

I won't get into politics, not my place being a yank. As far as myself and most people in the U.S. we greatly admire and respect the Queen. She is a smart and classy ladie, and a wonderful representitive for Great Briton.(love a visit from her over here!)I know by posting this I'll probably get a lot of thumbs down, appears to be monitored by anti- Queen forces lol. But am willing to take that chance.Long and happy life to the Queen.

She is,like any other member of the royal family a paracite.What we need is another Robespierre and a guillottine in order to chop all of theirs fucking head off.You bunch of knob heads think of the people instead of those paracites.Unlike you i am evolved,monarchy belong the past,communism belong the future.

Aw leave her alone!
Her and her ancestors - back when then had their own power - gave us the western world we love today. They weren't always a barrel of laughs though.
I'm British/Australian and grew up with a massive portrait of the queen hanging in my parents hall... so maybe I'm a bit biased! But I do admire her a lot and I have a funny feeling she may be the last Queen Regnant. Elizabeth the Last some people have said. Vivat regina elizabtha...
brightonjonny81 4 years ago
I don't actually have a problem with her personally, whatever, she's a human being just like me; it's just the idea that they take money off the working class - well, everyone actually - when they're already so rich. Surely they could just stop taxing us.
Also the fact that she doesn't really do much. Granted, she does bring in a lot of money to the country every year through tourism, but apart from that...

Fuck off, the royal family costs tax-payers £37.4 million every fucking year.
Why should they have that right?
It pisses me off that all you fuckers who love them so much are only bothered about ranting about the poor people who are on benefits-who actually need the money, but you don't give a shit that the biggest case of benefit fraud has been going on for decades. The "Royal" Family.
I refuse to bow down to these leaches.

But she has a right to have this money as she is the queen and it what makes britain nationalistically proud, we could of had a successfull rebellion against monachs like france did, but we are not the same as the french cowards.
