yeah, that was obvious, and I was refuting his point.

its not about being better qualified, my entire point is simply this, you are claiming the monarchy is not part of british identity, but I call bullshit, cuz clearly it is, or people would not line up to see the bitch parade down the street, and they certainly wouldn't give a shit to line up in Kenya when she comes to visit if she was not a major part of their british identity. I am not trying to one-up you, just call it as I see it.
