So some Brits are still pissed we kicked their ass. And some of the snooty elites indignant we don't suck up to their Global Warming standards that they don't even apply. And lately I hear they are not all hepped up on joining the EU and eliminating the pound.

Hey you snooty girly men, see where your arrogance and ignorance is getting you?

Join the rabble, Join us in riding the world of the UN forever.

Hear Me Now, Believe Me Later

I’d love for The Queen to tell Banky to kiss her royal hiney.

The u.n., when not raping and killing babies, they’re attacking old women.

Maggie would probably have rammed the report down their throats before they could get through the first paragraph.

What we are looking at here are harbingers of things to come. The UN is acting a if were a foregone conclusion that their man in the US, Hussein Obama, were already elected. We’ll see a lot more of UN tyranny with Obama in there, count on it.

It would be nice if this new mayor of London was prime minister. He might go Thatcher one better in telling the UN where to get off.

a written constitution, preferably republican

England has the best constitution in the world. Of course it isn't a written constitution. That would bring up questions of language and other matters of endless debate.

Huh. Last I heard Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. I'm thinking the physician might consider curing himself first.

I honestly thought this was satire. See, once upon a time there was this King named John...and then a few hundred years later there was this other guy named Cromwell...I mean, I'm just suggesting that it's entirely possible that the Brits have already sort of worked this thing out among themselves without (gasp!) the UN's help. It's like the British ambassador to Saudi Arabia saying "Know what, chaps? This place could really be improved if you'd just bring in a little sand..."

I thought that though Brown is doing his best to erode it at present hence why the Tories are opposed to the 42 days detention without charge which is confusing people as they are suposed to be the party for security.

No I want to keep the crown I like the idea of the head of State being apart from politics.

I see close up being involved with this forum the problem when the head of government is also head of State how to be above politics when politics got there in the first place. Very difficult and why often your President does get criticised (regardless of who it is) for not jumping into the fight and getting his hands dirty because it may well at the time he is performing a State duty which you cannot mix with the political issue.

On that subject though don't forget there was little love lost between the Queen and Maggie they did not get along. Having said that I am sure that Maggie would have been one of the first to criticize the interference of the UN in our domestic affairs.

I always remember the ultimate snub Maggie gave Royalty when she took the victory salute after the Falklands because of course it should have been the Queen as the PM does not have any ceremonial role with our armed forces. It is the crown that our troops swear allegiance to of course in practice it is the government of the day that determines their international role.

Right! Let the Arabs do away with their cruel system.

I couldn't give a dime for the British Monarchy, but I might even contribute if donations were being collected to tear down the UNO complex, float it all out (with 2/3 of the international delegates) on barges, and sink it in the middle of the Atlantic.

Has not the US citizenry learned yet that the UNO is nothing but an organization designed to destroy the national sovereignty of the USA and Her allies, and rob us of our national wealth by Marxist redistribution to the South and to the East?

My, my, Mr. Truman !!

And I hope to encourage Americans to keep tagging the ‘O’ on the back of UN. It is the UNO. It is an organization, not a legitimate government by any means.

Hang on a moment we do have at least one Muslin MP in the Commons with the per centage of Muslims coutrywide maybe slightly below the probable 3 - 4 per cent. The Conservative Party leadership (not parliamentary Conservative party) had at one time not sure if she is still currently involved a female Muslim she was often a spokesman on many issues for them not just Muslim or race issues.

Gradually over the years employers have had to bring female wages up to a similar level as male wages. It is very difficult to advertise a job and make it clear that you only want one particular sex to apply.

Thanks for the reminder on the ceremonial role of the monarchy in contrast to the role of the Parliament. They are Her Majesty's Ships, aren't they. That makes Britain an interesting place to me.

Regardless of anyone's view of the monarchy there, or of Parliament, for that matter, I pray the UK will send the UNO packing when its agencies pretend to interfere with the UK’s sovereignty.

And regardless of anyone's individual view of current international conflicts, we appreciate the UK’s steady friendship in difficult times.
