A comment from England's penal colony. You're right, I didn't do any fighting. But my father and my uncles did in WWII. My grandfather fought in WWI. I remember these things and how my freedom was paid for in blood. I have no idea what your country is like and it's none of my business. I know that the United States defeated england in our war of independence. We beat them again in 1812. They sided with the south in the civil war. We fought with then in WWI and SAVED them in WWII. They'd be speaking german now if not for us.

We in the United States do not pay homage to royal families and other parasites. Perhaps you people shouldn't either.

My paternal grandfather died fighting the NAZIs, I've never even seen a photograph of him. My maternal grandfather fought in that war too, but he survived. One of my paternal great-grandfathers was decorated in WWI, he was a sergeant in the Royal Marines and a hero by all accounts.

NO, we wouldn't be speaking German. If it weren't for the USA, we'd be speaking Russian. I'll let you say that, because its accurate.

Damn right. I'm an English republican myself, which means my preferred system of government is doomed, thanks to the royalist media's brainwashing of the British people.

Surprise, surprise.

All you have done is sit at your computer and denigrate another country's war effort from behind a phony-macho screen name. You don't even know enough about the American Revolution to realise how important opposition in the British parliament was to its success.
