I used to resented the monarchy.
Now I have seen politicians for what they are im all in favor of keeping the monarchy.
They seem to more or less pay their way and the role of the modern head of state is not one I would like. You dont even get a choice.
The same people banging on about things the Empire did hundreds of years ago probably voted in Labour to slaughter thousands of Iraqi's for oil. Same old same old.
There are thousands of reasons to be proud to be English. Dont let the peoples of insignificant countries tell you otherwise.
The idea of a president being head of state makes me want to puke. The idea that our head of state is out of politics is a good thing.
A big part of Liverpool FC's problem is one their setup like a cult where the club is perfect and can do no wrong this applies to the fans too they see themselves as untouchable and always innocent, the trouble and violence that follows them around is evidence of this. Also the majority of their support is Irish/Norwegian or asian all of whom have very little connection to this country, with very few native fans.
