The atrocities committed by the Norman invaders and their descendant spawn far exceed anything done by the Nazis, and set back the well-being of the people of Brit by several centuries. Had the Nazis been successful in over-running this country, would those silly and ridiculous folk who kowtow to the monarchy with simpering adulation now be equally exuberant in their arse-licking for Hitler's great grandchild? |

Chinese tourists appear to be bussed out on mass to out-of-town retail outlets on trading estates. Nothing compared with what happens with a major royal event year. Sooner Liz carks it the better for tourism IMO. |
