[HellwrathUK]

The Kings - Sunny Afternoon Thanks for wathing, more coming soon!

[DrZenith]

The song is 'Sunny Afternoon' by The KINKS, not the kinGs as Hellwrath said.

[HellwrathUK]

@DrZenith Thanks for the correction :)

[HellwrathUK]

@JuanMacready And your basis for this claim is ?

[SSCFPA]

@kimokamal5 6 million Jews, Gypsies, Mentally Ill, Homosexuals might take issue with your assertion. If they were not dead.

Who alone for 2 years stood up to Nazism?

How did a mere 20,000 British troops rule the entire Indian subcontinent?

Who was a practicer of slavery but ended it well before certain others? And did so without a war but with political pressure.

Whatever the builders of the Pyramids did 2000 years ago, who ended up ruling them?

But Eden was by far the worst post war PM.

[SSCFPA]

@kimokamal5 Ask Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium too. About Constitutional Monarchy. But those of a certain view on this seem never to do so.

Why?

Maybe being impeccable liberal democracies and very politically stable (the two often go together). gives an answer those posing the question don't want to hear.Spain too, indeed Juan Carlos faced down an attempt to bring back military rule in 1981.

The story of a human being --2-- or where you were born or where you live.

I only care about the human being you are even if you don't have an address, even if you are jobless, homeless and penniless.

This is only a part of the story, the story of a human being.

The story of a human being! --1-- I have seen everything and the truth is tormenting me, along the way I have met many innocent eyes, and many evil ones along the way I have met many people, I knew them well, but did they really know me? No they didn't. I accepted them for who they are, did they accept me? No they didn't. I'm giving you my hand, why don't you accept me? I don't care what your name is, I don't care what your address is, I don't care what your skin color or religion are,

@324wilson I see, but what is the need for a monarchy?!

[324wilson]

@kimokamal5 I am not an imperialist. Haven't you seen my channel? I fervently believe in the continuation of our "constitutional" monarchy. Although, I do believe in the reformation of the House of Lords (not elected though because it doesn't make sense) and a proportional representation. I think the Queen has beautifully presided over the transition from the Empire to our Commonwealth. The republic of Britain is as absurd as the kingdom of America.

[kimokamal5]

@324wilson GOOD MAN, I hope there was more people like you, then our planet that small rock floating in space and time would be a better place. but tell me something Wlison, why do u have a crown as your photo?!! A royalist, an imperialist, definitely not a republican!! ;-) ;-)

[324wilson]

@kimokamal5 I think I clearly stated that it was not a perfect Empire, no Empire was, no future power shall ever be. Britain did some horrible things and I am certainly not going to defend any of it!

[kimokamal5]

@324wilson They also let millions die in India when there was a famine, they just watched, they just said "let nature take its course" "survival of the fittest" they said, I don't blame Darwin in anyway but I blame the narrow minded and greedy imperial tyranny of the time.The best in British history is its scientists who have taken the knowledge of the ancients(Egypt,Babylonians,Gre­eks,Indians,Chinese,Muslim Arabs,,etc) few steps further,“we stand on the shoulders of giants”, Newton once said.
