Citizens, not subjects. Common mistake.
p.s I dont need to flaunt my British superiority. I just am. LOL
I wasnt getting at you personally btw. I know the theory and its complete bunkum. As well as insulting. Little known fact is that the crash killed two Americans as well.
That could start another thread, and by beginning with the BBC quote "...a subject does what he is told..." I'd add that in the US we're called "husbands".
Thanks Olog-hai.
It is frequently the case that the good die young. The Bard had something to say on this as I recall. We are often afflicted with evil people living on a d on a d on and on. But of course there’s probably no statistical proof of this. It’s quite possibly just how we perceive or experience a much more random phenomenon than that. (Still please don’t ever get me on topics like jimmycarter. Or georgesoros.
British people have been citizens since the Nationality Act of 1948. Dont worry, most Brits think they are subjects ‘cos of old Liz.
