Originally posted by gaweidert The real monarch of England is a man name Michael Hastings who actually lives in Australia.
So by rights, the UK (or at least England) should be ruled from Australia
Meanwhile I shall campaign for England's independence from the Channel Isles. In 1066 England became a possession of the Duke of Normandy, and the Channel Isles are the remaining part of that duchy, the rest having been taken over by France over the years. Since then, England has been conquered by the Welsh (Bosworth 1485), then taken over (without resistance) by the Scots (1603), then (with some slight resistance) by the Dutch 1688, and finally (without resistance) by the Germans in 1714. Some of those kings did not even speak English.
