Of course you wouldn't. As a conservative Brit, you still resent the fact
that the Brits had to play second fiddle to the Americans during that war
and have been playing second fiddle ever since with your PM now pandering
to Bush's every
twist and turn of policy.

How reactionary you are can be seen in the many absurd claims you make about the
powers exercised by the queen. It is evident that either you don't
understand how your own government works or you are simply unwilling to
recognize a reality
that offends your sense of what should be right and proper. A sort of takeoff on
the old Colonel Blimp syndrome.
