Man: Oh, king, eh, very nice. And 'ow'd you get that, eh?
(he reaches his destination and stops, dropping the cart)
By exploiting the workers! By 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma
which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
If there's ever going to be any progress,--
Woman: Dennis! There's some lovely filth down 'ere!
(noticing Arthur) Oh! 'Ow'd'ja do?
Arthur: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose
castle is that?
Woman: King of the 'oo?
Arthur: King of the Britons.
Woman: 'Oo are the Britons?
Arthur: Well we all are! We are all Britons! And I am your king.
Woman: I didn't know we 'ad a king! I thought we were autonomous collective.
Man: (mad) You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A
self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
Woman: There you go, bringing class into it again...
Man: That's what it's all about! If only people would--
Arthur: Please, *please*, good people, I am in haste! WHO lives in that
castle?
Woman: No one lives there.
Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Woman: We don't have a lord!
Arthur: (spurised) What??
Man: I *told* you! We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking
turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week--
Arthur: (uninterested) Yes...
Man: But all the decisions *of* that officer 'ave to be ratified at a
special bi-weekly meeting--
Arthur: (perturbed) Yes I see!
Man: By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs--
Arthur: (mad) Be quiet!
Man: But by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major--
Arthur: (very angry) BE QUIET! I *order* you to be quiet!
Woman: "Order", eh, 'oo does 'e think 'e is?
Arthur: I am your king!
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you!
Arthur: You don't vote for kings!
Woman: Well 'ow'd you become king then?
(holy music up)
Arthur: The Lady of the Lake-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite,
held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by
divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why
I am your king!
Man: (laughingly) Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power
derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical
aquatic ceremony!
Arthur: (yelling) BE QUIET!
Man: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some
watery tart threw a sword at you!!
Arthur: (coming forward and grabbing the man) Shut *UP*!
Man: I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some
moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: (throwing the man around) Shut up, will you, SHUT UP!
Man: Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: SHUT UP!

Saying that Russia shot down the plane can be just as successful as the US or Britain shooting it down.
Meaningless in the face Russia IS responsible. And they compounded their guilt by lying.
Ordinary British-Ukrainian provocation, of which there are many
How. In a major air coriander used by numerous civilian flights that day and being utilized by civilian airlines.
It's just that this time the plane was shot down and crashed on the territory of Ukraine,
From a deliberate military attack on civilians in a civilian aircraft in an established airline flight corridor.
which in turn was controlled by Western countries.
Then why was Russia bringing in weapons of war to increase capabilities that lead to the jet being showdown flying above the established no flight space.
You trying to justify the shooting down MH 17 and Russia’s cover up is sick.
Who fired the missiles that shutdown MH 17.
Technically you would be forcing these randomly chosen people into a career in politics via a "Demarchy".

Simple question. Who fired the missile that brought down MH 17.
And what has Russian done to help bring those that fired the missile to justice.
It’s not a career though, as with a jury it would be temporary and they would be compensated accordingly. That’s the whole point, each policy proposed would have to go through the same process.
Also rather than going to war a similar system could have “juries” of both countries hash out negotiations and peace treaties. As it is WW3 is around the corner because of a very few people with to much power over the rest of us.
See you all on the other side, I hope it was worth it.

The rest of the world is very thankful for Russians...
We are thankful we aren't them.
on a side note, I've been waiting for your post. I've been arguing with a friend and I'm saying there is no way this is true ?
Thoughts?

Russians.
Desperate to find people who like them.
Americans.
Desperate to find places to spread their own particular brand of democracy.
I think you will find it's a Russian who put up the video.
Please find a similar American one. If you can.

Ha ha, the irony....a Russian trying to lecture Britain about living on past glories.
Putin; a man living in the past, trying to regain perceived former glories in his search for 'greatness'.....pitiful.
