We had a king, Bloody Charles, who declared war on his own people. We cut the bastard's head off.

Why can't we do the same to the current Charles? Or at least axe the monarchy and get all our money and assets back. What wasters.

Just being weevil's advocate here: a monarchy does save us the expense and showboating involved in 27% of the electorate voting some self-inflated idiot as president every few years. And Brian has won himself a few brownie points on Ukraine. They need to strip the thing back much further too.

They can have the bother and expense of the monarchy down in England when Scotland is independent. And to be honest, I'm not up to speed about all the pros and cons of a president, but surely it can be as naff or as powerful/meaningful a position as we make it.

Oh no. They're more Scots than they are English. You have them.

OK, well let's send the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's back to Germany then.

And the Mountbattens/Battenbergs back to Greece? The Stuarts were a boil on England's backside
