We Brits have a love/hate relationship with the Royal Family, of course. Some merely love them. But most of us are torn between realising how disgusting they are (like most families, but worse) and considering that a nominally democratic monarchy (which does bring in tourist dollars) is infinitely better than the prospect of having someone like a Blair or a Johnson as President. Oh God, Oh God! The Horror! The Horror! No personal love for Lizzie. But she has at least from WWII onwards unquestionably devoted herself to 'her nation' and like her namesake, Elizabeth I, represents the Mother of the nation. A fuck sight better than some patriarchal inbred moron... As for the family's wealth and power. All their tax privileges need removing.. But make no mistake, The Dirty Digger, Rupert Murdoch has had the aim of making the UK a republic for decades. He wants to replicate the US model, a one-party state with two right wings... we'll, it's going swimmingly for him... The myopic self-destructive horror of the dysfunctional Windsors plays right into his hands...
