Britain and America have made so many enemies over the years that it could be any of country anywhere in the world to be honest. I am born and bred in England, and yet there are many times I am ashamed of the behaviour of the British people, and it's government.

I worked for many years for a cypriot, with who I had an excellant relationship, and was horrified to hear of the suffering of the Cypriot people at the hands of British and American governments, who had little interest in Cyprus other than for their own means.

It is instances like those when I am ashamed to say I am British.

America and Britain often interfere in things that are nothing to do with them, just for getting something out of the situation for themself.

If we should be involved, then we should do it for the right reasons, and not for what our nation can get out of it.

Let me throw something out there for you people, knowing full well, I'm going to be buried with your negative replies, but here goes anyway. Why do you think, that Blair is always doing what "King George" tells him to do. What does the American Government have over the heads of the British Government.?? I always believed that Princess Diana was murdered in Paris, and not died as a result of a silly accident. What if the British government knows more than they are saying, and what if the American Government also knows more than they have said. Perhaps what they know may bury the British Government in Dianas death, and that is the reason, Blair is always bowing to Bush.
OK, I'm ready for the insults.

DancingBear,

The above quote is for you to read, perhaps for the first time, because your answer to me does not seem to reflect what I wrote about Diana. My question is very simple, why is Blair, doing to Bush, what Monica was doing to Clinton in the "ORAL" office. So, just because Clinton was getting some action, he was perverted. So I guess, we're all perverted for getting some action, except for you of course, because you're just a Dancing Bear in a Circus.

Water under the bridge , like who killed Kennedy . But you want my honest opinion I will give it to you. I have never been a monarchist , I never took much notice of all the hype surrounding the late Princess. The royalty idea is archaic , irrelevant to today's world , hypocritical to say the least and frankly my dear I don't give a damn whether it was an accident or a well planned execution. It does not mean that the death of a human does not effect me , but to me she was just another woman that the masses called their Princess and lined the streets to catch a glimpse of her. She did lots for charity and I respect her for that, but getting screwed by Tom Dick and Harry is of no interest to me what so ever.

Miltiades,

I feel a little bit like you, when it comes to the Royal Family. I mean, what a nice job if you can get it, when you're born into a position of power without lifting a finger to earn it. DancingBear finds this, as well as one of my sisters, very appealling. Although Diana was not a "Royalty" before marrying "Dumbo the Elephant", she was no ordinary girl from ordinary family. When she died, she was very much missed, because she was loved by the world. But there was a time, that even I was excited about the Royal Family.

Back in 1977, when the Queen had her Jubilee year celebrations, a friend and I went to catch a glimpse of her near Buckingham Palace. There were hundreds of thousands of people there, including an American mother with her young daughter, which she kept sayin to the young girl, "Dee Dee, this is History, this is History". After I went to the States few years later, when ever I heard the name Dee Dee, I always wondered, if that was the same little girl from 1977. So, that evening, the crowd were gathering in Windsor, so my friend and I went there also, and managed to get right next to the fence to try and catch a glimpse of the Royals. Would you believe it, the Queen and the rest of the Family were walking and stopping to "shoot the breeze" with small talk with the people. Next thing I know, the Queen stops and start talking to me. Ask me where I was from, and where I worked and so on. It only lasted about a minute, but at the time, it was a great excitment for me, and since then, I have been telling people for the last 29 years, that I did infact met the Queen. So I expect all you "peasants" from now on, to kiss my "RING" in spirit, when ever you repond to my posts.

Your Royal Highness , my Honourable friend I beg forgiveness and humbly request that you spare my head this time.
I never even caught a glimpse of any royal , I can see why the people of this country still hang on to Royalty. It is the only English establishment , that apart from a Greek Bastard , no bloody foreigners have yet to become Royals .
The majority of Brits love the Queen along with the Pound , so when the rest of Europe have joined the Euro we are still refusing to see the financial benefits , do you know what the number one excuse is . Sovereignty. The fear of loosing our sovereignty !!!!! British sovereignty passed away years ago with the influx of the worlds poorest pouring in and forcing us to adapt to their way of life and to be on guard in case we inadvertently offend them by singing Xmas carols in Schools.We lost our sovereignty when the West End of London is filled with Africans dishing out parking tickets .We lost our sovereignty when we are forced to rename words in case our newcomers find offensive , blackboard , man hole , bullshit gone mad.

Our government will tell us, that they believe that the suspects are dangerous, but will need to let them go for lack of evidence, but the case will remain open, but we will never hear anymore about the case, because they will want us to forget about it. Bush got his 15 minutes in front of the cameras to tell us how he is still in this fight to protect us. Don't forget, the November elections are coming up, and all the bad news from Iraq is still pouring in, so the NeoCons are shit scared losing a lot of seats this year, which would mean, Bush can't be "King George" anymore.

"King George" is an excellent analogy, but dont get to hung up on Blair bowing to Bush. After American independence all properties/rights owned by the 'Crown' were transferred to the 'Company', but who owns the 'Company'?

Perhaps Princess Diana was the victim of a plot, but then again perhaps she was not. As for the Americans being able to bury a British government with what they may know about P. Diana's death it is doubtful that this would be of any gain to US politicians other than to further alienate US policy and politicians from an already sceptical British public as well as more importantly US public opinion which by and large cherishes P. Diana's memory to a greater degree.
Of course there are exceptions, former British Prime Minister Harold Wilson being the prime example. Only after Wilsons wise refusal of US requests/pressure to commit British forces to the Vietnam war did he become the alleged subject of British security investigations followed fairly quickly after by the warning to the British from the Americans in 1974 not to intervene in Cyprus. By 1976 Wilson had gone from the Premiership and virtually all public life supposedly on the grounds of ill health.

I saw whathisname the king of Greece in 1967 (I think) in Salonica, he was driven in an open car in front of all the troops. We were on top of a tall building looking down (it would not be allowed today), I wanted a pee and my dad said "do it on him" (the king) but my mother stopped me.

Sorry "militiades" but they are all bloody foreigners! Germans mostly, with the family name of Battenburg or Saxe Coburg. The Greek Bar Steward is the best of the lot, never one to be understated or misquoted he has endeared himself to people the world over by saying exactly what he means, "slitty eyed bastards"! Friends important members of the establishment naturally, who live within Windsor Castle tell me that our Phil swears at everybody regardless of rank or importance, so at least he's still a Greek democrat at heart.

Not until the resurgence of Orthodox Saxon England will I be able to take my rightful place in society and claim my family title and lands, most of Berkshire and Oxfordshire. These long years of suffering and exile on the beach in Cyprus will not have been in vain! First choice for exile would have been the Seychelles, but you know who got there first
