I get where you are coming from G, no doubt. When you think about it, it can seem out of wack, however there hasn't been a truely English King since Harold Goodwinson took one in the eye in 1066...
But to be the Monarch of a nation, you do not have to be of that nation, or at least in the past anyway. Historically the major Ruling families of Europe have been of Franko-German decent, or Scandinavian decent, from before the time of Charlemagne, right up to the present time. They are all interlinked through marriage, incest and intrigue.
And moving on to the whole English thing... You would be hard pressed in modern Britian to be able to find anyone who is purely "English" - which incidently comes from Anglish, meaning of the Angles, a Germanic tribe from central Europe, from whence England got its name (Angland)...
I would like to point out that I am not refuting the statment that the Queen is british, as she certainly is... I was merely sharing some interesting facts about the ancestry of the Royal family. History is a passion of mine and I enjoy sharing it.
To cast historical fact in with the irrational and hypocritical "beliefs" of the BNP, is, in my eyes a travesty and a cheap shot, and I would thank you to not cast aspersions...
Oh, and DB me ol' mucker, I agree with you, the monarchy is defunct, but is an insitution and wont be going away any time soon. Plus they do bring in those tourist dollars
And that folks is me for the night, I am off to drink coke and cap some zombie mutant mu'fuckas! Pow!
