    Yes to the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The Tsar, Kaiser, King George and the King of Greece were all cousins and called each other by their first names in correspondences. Nikki, Willy and Georgie were a bit spoiled and addressed each other with such affections until they got angry with each other and had a big family squabble that we call WW1. I've seen a photo of the four in their youth posing as they were boating together.

    Still you do realize WHY the ruling families of Europe were Germanic, don't you?

    Such as what?

    How about a slight change in which they are held accountable?

    How about a slight change in that they got off their backsides and earn a living? A real one?

    How about a slight change that the drop their bigoted anti Catholic mandate?

    That's why we are here. We came into being as a result of rejecting Royalty. Join us and become an American. Otherwise, stay there and help pay for Kate's tampons.

    There's a lot of royalty out there and Dictators for life grooming their children, which is why we need lots and lots of weapons.

    yes, they oguht to be equal before the law. But then, they are the monarch and part of that is being above everyone else.. As long as it's symbolc I guess it's fine.

    Yes, to some extent. But they are already working aren't they? THey are the head of state, diplomats and what not. In essence, a monarch is a big prestige thing. It's basically saying to the rest of the world "haha we got traditions, and we didn't screw up in history and got a revolution".

    Meh, I don't really care. We have a law in sweden stating they must be swedish protestants. But you know, the monarch is supposed to represent the nation right? And the nation is the people that now live, but also the dead former members of the nation. So it's reasonable to require the monarch to share the same religion as the majority isn't? He's supposed to be an anchor in a way, to make sure we don't strive to faar away from our heritage.

    But they aren't. And that is not minor.

    Tell you what, let's play a little game of Q+A.

    Let's say(as an example), I owned a private property in the Highlands of Scotland.

    Let's say I had made my name in media.

    Let's say that the US President, Obama, accepted my invite to reside with me at said property. Not once. Several times. As my personal guest.

    Now, forget what you think of Obama the perception, do you agree that it would be absolutely logical that before he even set foot in Scotland, let alone my property, let alone spent time in my person, that I would be screened so thoroughly by the secret services, that any possible skeleton in my cupboard would be known?

    Yes?

    For instance the public debt. The european monachies have, on the average, public debts smaller than republics.
    Many studies show that the parties in charge, when elections getting closer, are inclined to boost the government spending in a bid to attract more voters on them side. it is because, statisticaly speacking, this is the better strategy for win the election. If they lose the deficit in the governament account is a problem for the other side, and that can advantage them in the next election. More the political sistem is fragmented and instable, with short governament, bigger is the problem.
    the monarchy where a part of power are not ruled by election rule, era able to contain this problem of democracy system.

    Indigenous Britons are largely Hispanic, according to Bryan Sykes's DNA analysis, and those of Celtic descent are found to be genetically identical with the Iberians in the coastal regions of Spain. Cameron and Osborne clearly look closer to the Spaniards than the Germans while the British Royal Family is of German descent, except for the Duchess of Cambridge from the indigenous British population.

    Uh, I don't know if that's really supposed to be a law. Isn't it more like Obama making that a requirement for him to visit? Or is there any UK law that states that people must be searched before the meet the president? Sounds like a stupid law in that case. It's up to the visitor -obama- to put pressure on you to be searched.

    Would my life be screened before I was allowed to get close to the President?

    Or the Queen?

    By the CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6 etc?

    The question was somewhat rhetorical.

    OF COURSE the secret services would go through every inch of your life before someone was permitted to befriend you.

    It is obvious. They would go into everything, and know everything about you.

    And yet...

    Veteran BBC presenter Bill Oddie has backed claims disgraced Jimmy Savile’s abuse was covered up – because he was friends with Prince Charles.

    The Springwatch star, who appeared on TOTP with the Goodies when Savile presented it during the 1970s, said there was a “running sick joke” at the BBC about Savile being a paedophile.

    He suggested there might have been some sort of “censorship committee” preventing the truth being released because of Savile’s royal connections.


    The presenter also backed claims made by other former BBC presenters that Savile’s antics were well known at the time.

    He said: “The idea that youngsters were prey – everybody knew that.

    “I was not surprised at all. And the surprise is in a sense that that didn’t happen years ago.

    “The establishment or who ever it is decided to keep it all quiet and decided to give him a knighthood. He was, to a certain amount, a friend of royalty.”

    You forgot the Romans and those who came from other parts of the Roman Empire. After nearly 400 yrs only the wealthiest Roman Britons left most remained and was absorbed. google History of Roman Britain.


    The Danes + Jutes also played an important role in our history..

    A common misconception, confusing Norsemen (Normans) who adopted French language - with Franks.+ Gauls


    I don't think Normans were ever Roman Citizens.

    Galicians are not "Spanish" eh and the football team of Vigo is not named Celta for no reason.
    Normen are of Germanic origin , Vikings.
    Germanic is to English what Slavic is to Poles and Latin to Portuguese .

    That is true in their patrilineal descent but there's also been a healthy contribution from Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon the "Scottish Queen " :wink:

    I don't know whether this is true but reported

    :Burrell the butler says the Queen told him: "There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge."

    The 'British' monarchy are full of homosexuals, bisexuals, and associates of known child rapists.

    Indeed, they go out of their way to befriend child rapists.

    And they give them awards.

    Indirectly saying that homo- and bisexuality is a bad things are you?

    btw, by writing 'british' like that you show your ignorance of what british is. Is there any more mongrel race in europe than the british?

    Note you clumsily make not even a mention of them going out of their way to befriend child rapists.

    Instead deflecting.

    Interesting...

    Note how you are just ignoring everything I said. Why would I mention them befriending child rapists? I pointed out two things in your post: that you hints at bi and homo sexuality being bad, and that you don't seem to understand the nature of 'british'.

    The better question is 'Why are you not mentioning it'?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Probably the fact that what they did was go out and befriend someone that raped children.

    We're not going to have one of those nights where it takes you hours to grasp a simple concept, are we?

    Who are you talking about? Because I showed you months ago that the royals did not make friends with a child rapist. He was found innocent.

    Only in your silly world is he guilty. Not in the actual world we live in.

    Jimmy Saville was never convicted and only after his death did these Allegations come out.

    He was never tried and convicted in a court of law. Hard for him to defend himself after being dead.

    This happens all the time with him.

    I give in. He must be trolling, because there is no way anyone could NOT understand.
