‘I find the entire concept of “royalty” repugnant. Those who claim crown should be hounded out of their homes by torchlight and pitchfork to be dipped in hot tar then covered in feathers for a ride round the Ole’ Town Square on a rail. But then again I was born Free’

I was born free as well, in England. We invented freedom in 1215 - see the Magna Carta. We are still free, see Constitutional Monarchy. . . . .

It sounds like you’re claiming the Magna Carta established a representative democracy with universal sufferage. Historians still debate the exact legacy of it, but no one claims it established anything like what we now call “freedom”.
