    You have to remember that our monarch is purely a figurehead from a political point of view. Her power is purely theoretical.
    Queen Elizabeth is still pulling the strings, believe me. Lincoln was president during a civil war, in some ways similar to'n what y'alls had. The Confederates had to be labeled as enemy combatants, and that's when things got nasty.

    At the next election I shall vite Lib Dem, or perhaps Green.
    Good man, C.

    I also don't like the fact that they want a trade deal with the Septics which would entail our exports complying with Septic regulations and disputes being resolved in yank courts.
