How strong would we be if the Empire still existed said someone, a bloody sight stronger than we are now. I had the privilege(?) of visiting India last year (and, unfortunately, have to go back again this year). Someone was saying how it seemed odd that we had to apply for a visa to visit a country that we used to own, the reply to this was that it was probably a better place when we did own it, it looks like the last time the streets were swept was when we owned it too. I was asked what my first impressions were and all adjectives began with S, shithole, stench, squalor, smog, slums. Personally I think we should have kept hold of what we had rather than give it to the locals to fuck up.
Me, I'm British and proud of it. Politicians come and go, try to leave their mark but in the main are forgotten, the monarchy has always been here and hopefully always will. And as for the comment that they could take power and overrule the Government, could they do a worse job?
