Just don't visit us or else you might find yourself examining the decor in the Tower
Why not put YOUR efforts into sorting out YOUR own country and leave ours to us
I don't speak for anyone, especially the UK, but if you watch the video the OP posted YOUR propaganda from YOUR country is all over OUR magazine covers and news. I think that gives me the right to have an opinion.

I really am piddling myself here with you "so much better" people. So what great country do you hail from because I doubt very much that yours has a better history
Where I come from is irrelevant. I am able to criticize my own country unlike yourself.

First of all, The Queen has no real power.
I live in the UK, have worked in various jobs and roles etc.....I've followed politics since the early 80's and I assure you, The Queen has no power - but of course you'll know better than me??
But it has nothing to do with you at all.
It is up to the people of the four countries that comprise the UK.
Scotland will get a chance to vote on independance very soon.
The vast majority of people in Northern Ireland are in favour of remaining in the Union.
To be honest I'm not that sure about Wales.
There is an increasing number of people in England who want an English parliament whilst retaining The Union.
On what grounds?
Certainly not according to English or Scottish Law.
And why would they do that?
What is the point?
Well you certainly seem it.
Part English?????
I'm fully, 100% English, so what?
We Brits aren't like Americans etc......the whole concept of Irish / Italian American is ridiculous and reeks of a desperation to cling onto some national heritage and culture.
How has Queen Elizabeth 'done nothing but bring pain and suffering to the world'?
All I seem to have read is emotion and very little if any reasoning at all.
Well if there is you've done a very poor job of explaining it so far.

Well considering the topic and the faceless half wits that are jealous of the UK and have to resort to being EXperts on the UK then I'm afraid it has. Regardless of where you live, people should have the balls to stand up for their country and be patriotic...

Yeah, I think it's about time the world got rid of royalty it's pointless. It's the same as hollywood celebrity, just a waste of time and distraction from real problems.
God slay the queen
So what were the links I just posted then?
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will visit the Governor General today to dissolve Parliament, setting the stage for a federal election in early May.
The Harper government was defeated in the House of Commons on Friday on a non-confidence motion declaring the government in contempt of Parliament.
It is the first time in Canadian history that a government has been found in contempt
She might not do much on a local level (aside from naming towers after herself), but on a national stage she has been... active to say the least.
You're right, it has nothing to do with me. It was an opinion.
But it's good to see Scotland will have a chance to vote on independance.
I'm curious about Wales though.
I meant more accepting the union to begin with.
See above.
Do we really need to go here? I haven't said one thing that would indicate I was anti English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish. Just because I don't support a union or a monarch doesn't mean I hate the people of an entire nation.
1/4 English to be exact and I'm damn proud of my heritage.
I mentioned the family not the Queen
. But if we really want to go into it we can bring up Diana
or the links I posted about Canadian parliament.
The history of the family in question should stir emotions in anyone.

With respect, has your government done anything bad within those 45 years? Anything that you wouldn't be proud of at any rate? This is an honest question, I'm not being snide.
