Oooooh

Marty - they'll be onto you for sure. I can hear the chains of insurrection and incarceration rattling.

If we didn't have a Queen us mob up here would only have a ....land

Our Queen

There are those who may malign her
There are those who wish her harm.
There are those who say she’s dated
There are those who cause alarm.

But there are those who still revere her
Through all the troubles that we’ve seen
There are those who’ll always love her
For she’ll always be our Queen.

Sir Robert Alan Micheal Pacey esq

Second one is almost pure Henry Lawson. Don't totally agree with the sentiments but jeez it's a good poem!
Did you ever gird your loins? Often wondered what that meant and why and how it was done.
Seemed to be a fair amount of girding in the bible as I remember.
Wonder if it hurts?

The French couldn't wait to get rid of Louis...they got Napoleon instead..

The Russians couldn't wait to get rid of Nicholas..they got Stalin instead.

The Germans didn't want a king.... they got Hitler.

The Egyptians celebrated the fall of their king... they got Mubarak.

The Libyans got rid of their rulers...they got Gaddafi.

The constitutional monarchy is an essential protection from political plunderers.

Neville, the English got rid of their king (for all but ceremonial purposes) and got democracy - but it took about five hundred years. There's the rub. These things take a little while...
