What would one say to them?

So come on Mike. Explain why you see it as our land? Does that mean I own your land and property as well as my own? Sounds like comunism to me.

Seems like you would accept pure British blood royalty Gordon but not if the family has German blood in it. So are you a royalist in principle then as long as they are from the correct breed?

That comment would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
learn british  history and the answer will be self explanatory

You may have some kind of strange logic in your question Stoop, but I just cannot see myself ever supporting a family, royal or not, who are not British! No matter how you or any one else attempts to disguise it, the fact still remains that the British royal? family are descended from various states of Germany. Anyway, when it all boils down, why are they there? What useful purpose does she serve? She has no REAL regal powers in the true sense, she cannot over-rule Parliament. Just an empty figurehead in my honest opinion. The phrase " Toom Tabard" springs to mind, actually, perhaps slightly out of context but--------?
. Thank God for what may be the beginnings of a proper, intellectual debate. Wind-ups over!!

I for one would rather have a Queen who hasn't got a secret agenda to rule and interfere in the running of the World, who makes life financially easier for all his buddies and generally fills his own coffers along the way.
Choice between a Queen/King or a President, Royal every time.  Do you seriously want a Bush or Obama as the head of our Country?  God forbid[!]

Britain has been a melting pot for years, who is truly British?   We have been invaded so many times in the past and so many Monarchs have married foreign brides, Monarchs even ruled from France at one time, so I don't think anyone can say they have traced their ancestors and they are 100% British.  Even Bonnie Prince Charlie was an effete little French guy who was idolised by a lot of the Scots and lets not forget that the Queen's Mother was a Scot.
I read in the news last week that by 2066 the majority of the British population will be black, so who will be truly British then?

Cromwell was a dictator,unless you mean the other cromwell who served Henry the eight who was tasked with grabing the land etc of the monistries, and was beheaded at Henry request, as I think the other cromwell had his removered after he was buried.Check it out all you internet history experts. A little racism creeping in methinks.

[GordonA]

c1, your spelling is atrocious, go straight to the bottom of the class!   :oOliver Cromwells body was dug up, and hanged, (which probably did result in his head coming off!!) Now, who in heavens name would ever dream up that tasty little morsel of disgusting behaviour??
Mind you, look at what a "civilised" English race did to Sir William Wallace, A TRUE hero in the eyes of all Scots. No racist slurs intended, pure history.

Gordon, you really shouldn't criticize someone's spelling if you are going to write back to them with such poor punctuation.

[GordonA]

OOOOPS, I beg you pardon, Prof.
Gordy,
I will make sure to include apostrophes in the correct place in future.
