Ridiculous, the Monarchy in Great Britain has slowly had it's powers eroded for centuries now, not since Charles the first has a Monarch had the power to overrule a British Government but they soon put paid to that by lopping his head off, as i said the Queen is just a figurehead with barely any powers at all, the House of Lords also does not govern our country, anyway Deejaykeg has put you right on the subject in his last post, you should calm down telling Keggy to fuck off and go live somewhere else, i stopped getting my knickers in a twist over the Royal family a long time ago, it's not worth it, there will never be a revolution in Britain, if there ever was going to be a revolution it would have happened centuries ago, if they held a referendum to remove the Royal Family it would be a complete failure, probably a landslide in the Royals favour, people in Britain want them it seems, we have much more to worry about then the Royal Family ie the many so called British subjects who would like to behead us or strap bombs to themselves and blow the shit out of us, the Royal Family shouldn't even raise a ripple on the richter scale after that.
