Just so you know, I don’t hate people in the UK. My ancestors were born in the UK. However there is that ancestor of your Queen . . .

George the 3rd and his brother William were actually rather nice.
He had a rather nasty illness but compared to his potty brained son he was rather decent. If you guys could have waited a bit you could have bolted the the Empire under the Regency and much of the Empire would have joined you.
The institution of monarchy is pretty daft but not that much dafter than electing one of two or three rich people who have never had a day of financial hardship in their life and are probably only in a position to be chosen because they are the spouse, brother or son of a previous head of state. I wouldn’t call Trump a breath of fresh air but he does pong differently 😄

However the people of America, the UK or wherever you find yourself are far more interesting and give far more value and character to their place of origin or adoption than the heads of state, may we be Independent of them all.
