Symbolism is fine. Aristocracy not needed. Constitutional rule with a Monarch is an oxymoron. England did away with Monarchy once. The only problem was the military dictatorship of the Lord Protector concentrated corruption in his person and the circles that benefitted from his militarism. Having made this mistake once I am optimistic that after 300 years England can do better.
I sure hope you are correct, and yes, we got to work on them "negative waves." There seems to be a lot of them negative wave projectors running full time anymore.
I agree, and I am astounded by, not so much the British love of their paternalistic figureheads, ie, monarchy, but of the AMERICAN response to all that... I remember a few years ago the Queen was going to visit Canada and was stopping off I think in NYC, and on Facebook, I saw someone braying such (to me) fawning blather over the Queen that I had to comment, something about she "earned" her title by being born to a title, which is a peculiar and highly questionable means of being given power, to do little more than behave like a Tyrant Behind The Curtain, on the taxpayers' dime, and I was vociferously attacked and an attempt to cancel and shut me down commenced, which I managed to escape from unscathed, as it were, but it was quite disturbing, coming from AMERICANS. People are an inscrutable animal.

Merlin will return. The collective imagination is too pagan for Christ.

Once again I apologize for the tardiness of Neil's column.
My Air Force retired Colonel brother is preparing a response to the physical address of the IP attacker as we speak.
What are your thoughts on this, IRBM or Stealth Cruise missile?
I am leaning to the stealth strike, but I am a big believer in throw weight.
However, we have enough "global" threats emanating right now, so I'm thinking the low profile is probably the best option at this time.
Any thoughts on this?
