    Geo- how do you then explain:
    Royal Canadia Navy/Airforce
    Royal New Zealand etc
    and plenty more - do they also belong to UK like you allege Australia does?

    i guess that Canada flag is different by reason of Quebec factor .

    for all i hear the Queen is ok ! for the converting the Aussie flag
    to green/black/yellow colours...

    i believe Australia & New Zealand is the most important/indispensable
    area for Brits.

    Don’t be so silly
    In my books William Hague and David Cameron are a disgrace to the British people, but all politicians they lie to get power, they were voted in on the assumption they would give a referendum and remove the human rights act, and deal with immigration, , and replace what military labour was removing, and getting thing on the right path, all they have done, is decimated the military, allowed terrorist and criminals to rule over the human rights, allowed more immigrants than before, and given our hard earned money to Europe, and 12 billion to overseas aid, they have been bought and sold by the euro gravy train, corrupt unselected and bent on ruining everything, they say, we cant pull out now, while they are in a mess as we will suffer [we will anyway]
    But if we stay, and get over it, they will say, why leave when euro is riding high, corruption to the bitter end, the British people want out of the corrupt euro land gravy train,
    Screw Europe, , they say we will lose out on trade and things, this is disgracefully a lie,
    The British have been trading with European countries since before the bloody Romans, and will do in the future, we can expand our trade with the commonwealth nations, and the rest of the world,
    The point is, there is nothing that the European union can give the British,, that the British government cant give its own people,, some may disagree, they promised a referendum, so should give one, or resign, but they wont,
    We will get out in the end, I just hope its not to late, just my opinion ,

    Hague calls on Tories not to vote for a referendum on UK remaining in the EU

    My god, that Blair is l.h.a.o. , Hague, Cameron..no difference at all..even John Major is for this nonsense. Bad news for people like me who want to see the EU falling apart.

    “Screw Europe, , they say we will lose out on trade and things, this is disgracefully a lie,”

    Europe is continent and even the ugly brits are part of that wonderful continent. Screw the EU, that makes more sense include the ugly brits who are already screwed.

    No, it's not a lie. the UK already lost long time ago and with the banking crash in 2008 it became official. Today it still cannot compete against the Machine of Europe called Germany. Never actually. not a opinion but a fact, just like how my country is tied to Germany, also before the EU corrupt organization.

    “i believe Australia & New Zealand is the most important/indispensable
    area for Brits.”

    You also believe you know secret service people. You clearly are an idiot.

    The queen is a figurehead, not a ruler. If you wasn't such an idiot you would know this.

    “the royal Australian army”

    You're an idiot. There is no “Royal” army under the queen.

    To summarize: You're an idiot.

    “How does the average British feel about it?”
    About what? This nutcases idea that Australia is the center of the UK? Nothing. It's up there with hogwarts and narnia.

    But i have a feeling you ment the EU referendum. Most i speak to want to leave everyone thinks it costs us loads and we get nothing from it. It annoys people that they have too much power in our country. Most Brits are anti-euro.

    We also take a disliking to the fact that the EU wants a one EU army. This will mean France and us putting “boots on ground” while other nations sit around with there thumbs up there arses. And we quite like our royalty and with the EU wanting to become one large republic that would mean no more Royals.

    I would like to see us leave, just at a time when we are more economically stable. It would be a bad idea right now, imo. Then again i know it has benefits for our country. Im glad we kept the pound and didn't jump on the Euro currency super fun traincrash.

    They are not a part of “British”. You have must have impaired cognitive functioning if you believe such a thing.

    And we like our old structure. Who are you to decide what we do?

    britain is far to closely knitted to the euro gravy train, all im saying is that britain can trade with the rest of the world, and still be friends with
    the euro nations, but we need to loosen the ties with them,
    fido fails to understand that holland may be linked to germany, but the british are not welcome or wanted in europ, exept our money and defence,, we need to be lees dependent on others,
    thats all .

    Fido must remember the companies Royal Dutch Shell , Unilever...etc.

    Brit fails to understand that Holland may be linked to UK,but the Brits
    are welcomed/wanted in Europe,despite of no money/defense, we need to
    be more dependent on Brits except their crap islands..
