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.

I don't see how all the sovereignty mob think this is preferable to bring preferable to being in the EU where we at least had some input into the regulations and the laws.
