<p>[QUOTE=&quot;areich, post: 1436847, member: 37479&quot;]Hello</p><p><br /></p><p>The most unfortunate aspect of this rant is that it represents perhaps only a narrow point of view of the British.&nbsp; The nation has been chaffing over not just the Monarchy, but the entire peerage system, especially with the amount of tax dollars it absorbs for what many view as nothing more than an aging reality TV show.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the kind of language and format that one sees often in the British Parliament, although they don&#039;t often toss the word &quot;ass&quot; about.&nbsp; If people from Brooklyn are direct, they generally don&#039;t act like this unless they expect to be in fisticuffs.</p><p><br /></p><p>[video=youtube;qXDlmzqzadU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXDlmzqzadU&amp;amp;feature=related[/video]</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, if you think Elizabeth II is interesting, you should read about the Mitford Sisters and the British Nazi Party, the European Magazine, et al.&nbsp; Charming how they all were and the Frick Museum has a lecture about them of late due to the release of a book by one of their Grand children.&nbsp; After understanding this, you can see why some in Great Britain badly want to ditch the entire system of Peerage and break finally from those Feudal trappings of the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW</p><p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/house_of_commons/default.stm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/house_of_commons/default.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/house_of_commons/default.stm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Amanda[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
