As an Englishman living in the UK, I can tell you that I have never and will never complain about our monarchy. It is the greatest institution that we have left in this country as virtually all our other institutions have been mucked about with so much and emasculated, if not destroyed. Our Constitutional Monarchy gives us unique stability as a nation and stops the politicians getting above themselves, and I give thanks to God for our wonderful and selfless monarchy every single day!

The Evil Spirit through Fred was funny in putting in Scottish Bagpipes to sound awful as the worst instrument of all. And it being a sheep stonach you blow up. And the men in skirts (kilts). And really Scottish who opposed English Monarchy. It is a subtle funny poke in Elizabeth II Propganda War promoting her Mountbatten Clan on a KZbin Website meant for the public for free. It is not Royal High End as Elizabeth II is taken down a notch with subtle jibes by the ones of Scotland and Arabia who wee knowing she wanted to be the Queen in the Propaganda War to Prop herself above everybody including her own Clan Members by posing as Queen Elizabeth II. I even poke fun at her by giving all her relatives as King and Queen numbers to show how many failed attempts there are to be the Royalty. The Names of the Kings and Queens are all stolen from the Royalty of Canada as God's Bodies on Earth as Queen and King.
