The EU has gone along with the European monarchies and has not issued EU arrest warrants for the UK Queen and family and put them on trial in the Hague or put them someplace else out of harms way.
Rightly so. I too am one of the many people who supported the liberation of Iraq and the removal the Saddam fascist outlaw regime and the establishment of a democratic Iraq with peace and justice for all Iraqis and Saddam brought to justice.But condoleeza rice supported the war in iraq as did blair
Well while you have been saving the Queen, the people have been getting killed by the brutal stupidity of the Queen's state.
I'd rather save the people myself.

Well the people who were massacred at Srebrenica by Serb fascists under the noses of Dutch forces under the command of the Dutch Queen would have preferred a better protector so let's not get starry-eyed about European monarchs other than the UK monarch.
wtf? why should the queen be on trial in the hague? I sometimes think it would be better if she had more powers, not less
I advocate getting rid of the Queen for many reasons but monarchy is ALWAYS wrong and ALWAYS should be done away with and a kingdom should ALWAYS change to become a republic.And yet you advocate getting rid of the queen because of what tony blair did in the name of the war on terror
I never said that.please explain how a war is bad when the queen has anything, however superficial, remotely to do with it and good when condoleeza rice is involved in it
You are the one who is confused.So, you're against the brutality of the queens state, except when that brutality is directed at the citizens of another country, in which case it's fine as long as you don't agree with how that coutry is run? That is some confused thinking.
Iraq is more democratic now, there are elections and a lot more political freedom although it is a country which is at war and under siege from its and our enemies but it is those enemies who are terrorising the Iraqis to try to take away their new democracy.Iraq is no more democratic than it was under suddam, and it's a lot more dangerous. 100,000's have been killed.
I don't follow you.Under that logic it would have been better for French people to have a queen and then if so, the rwanda genocide wouldn't have happened.
I have never suggested that the Queen should do what she does differently. That is a ridiculous suggestion.She gives her royal assent to bills because it would cause a constitutional crisis if she didn't
Have you looked up "satire" in the dictionary?Here are a couple of spoof leaflets which I made up to satirise the SNP's foreign policy rubbish.
You are the one who is confused.
The free world has enemies to fight and I think the best way for us Britons, Scots, English, Welsh & Northern Irish to fight any war is to remove the Queen, the monarchy, the Kingdom and have presidents and republics instead, first of all. Have a republican revolution at home first so we are in better shape to fight all our wars.
Going to Iraq without removing the Queen is not how I would fight the war.
Our American allies have asked for our help in Iraq and Afghanistan and we should help them of course
Therefore when we Britons go to war in a good cause at the side of our good Allies, the Americans, I say - "well good that we are trying to help - but we could help a lot more by removing the Queen and getting a good president first".
Our war was directed against Saddam Hussein and we killed very few civilians by mistake.
Most of the Iraqi civilians have been brutally killed by terrorists supported by the enemy and their puppets, the Lib Dems and the SNP.
Iraq is more democratic now, there are elections and a lot more political freedom although it is a country which is at war and under siege from its and our enemies but it is those enemies who are terrorising the Iraqis to try to take away their new democracy.
You ought to blame the enemy and those who dance to the enemy's tune such as the Lib Dem and SNP fools
Many mistakes have been made.Our "American Allies" are responsible for keeping Saddam in power so long and also for funding what later became Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
I have an excellent change of winning our wars if the people would put me in charge of fighting them.Why compound those mistakes by starting wars no one has a cat in hell's chance of "winning" ?
Iraq in particular clearly wasn't ever seriously intended to be "won".
Well, it certainly worked in the US.Once we have kicked the monarchy out, it should be an easy win for freedom and democracy.
By that logic, you would have opposed Churchill's declaration of war against Nazi Germany for Hitler's invasion of Poland.We shouldn't be fighting any wars. Unless we came under direct attack.
Nonsense. The war is prosecuted by Her Majesty's Government and by forces of the crown.Whether the queen is head of state is completely irrelevant to the war. It's a non-issue.
American supported freedom and democracy as advocated by Condoleezza Rice is not "imperialism".Good allies? Fuck that - The USA is the most aggressive, imperialist state on this earth. They didn't need our help and we shouldn't've given them it.
Well when Saddam invades or attacks a country and harms the economy of that country, there is an economic dimension to it.The war (well, invasion) was carried out for economic reasons.
We didn't kill them. They were killed by the enemy who the Lib Dems and SNP excuse and encourage.And 100,000's is not "very few".
It was not vacuum but the Iraqi state is initially weak and that weakness has been exploited by neighbouring states to try to empire build inside Iraq.We knew about the situation in iraq with the shias and sunnis before we went in. Our government is responsible for the power vacuum which has led to the sectarian violence there.
I am calling those terrorising the people of Iraq "terrorists" because that is what they are, state sponsored terrorists very often.Again, calling anyone opposed to your country/state "terrorists" is a classic imperialist position.
Well I can see you are confessing that you oppose free elections in the dictatorships of the world which you support.Is it fuck more democratic. Those elections mean fuck all and normal people in iraq are as disenfrachised as they've ever been.
That's right. You have sided with the monarchs and dictatorships of the Middle East who are murdering innocent people in their hundreds of thousands.They're not my enemy.
I don't follow you.
I'm pondering whether to reply again.
honestly mate iv'e given up, he's off his tits....still entertaining to watch though
I wanted to make up for just cussing him out at the beggining of the thread, by attempting a rational debate. Life is too short.
I dont think Peter does rational
Any rational person is republican. It does not, however, follow that every republican is rational.Truedat. In principle I am anti-monarchist as well, but ffs.
Ow, my ribs. Chortle, chortle *deadpan*.
