    Bit like you then Marcos, when you have to ask your German president CFK everytime you have to get up from your chair to wipe your ass

    Ohh and as CFK's mother was German where the nearest relative to Elizabeth the II that was german was her great great grandfather Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. On the other side of her family tree she is descended from Mary Queen of Scots, Robert the Bruce and earlier Scottish royal houses; from the House of Tudor, and earlier Irish and English royal houses stretching back as far as the 7th century House of Wessex: one member of Wessex being Aethelflaed of Wessex's younger sister, Elfthryth (second or third wife of King Edgar of England) - So she is more British than she is German. Unlike CFK whos more German than Frankfurt hot dog is!

    @ Marcos

    Ah, I see you recognise Her Majesty as being the Falkland Islands Head of State.

    I see that you recognise the Falklands as being British territory.

    Well done! You are finally beginning to see through the web of lies created by your pathetic government.

    Back to the La Campora re-education centre for you for 'intensive' indoctrination and brain-washing.

    @3 That's funny - you didn't think that one through at all!!

    So which candidates will you be hoping win the election? The ones that don't want to be taken over by Argentina, or, the ones that really, really don't want to be taken over by Argentina? Personally, I'm just glad they will have the freedom to choose.

    Not sure whether you were merely verifying that she is indeed Germanic as the house of Wessex etc...were Saxons (Germanic)...Wessex (West Sax...West Saxons)
    Her ancestry through the Scottish side came through the Normans (Robert the Bruce....Robert De Brus) as did the Tudor side and you do realise that the Normans were.....Northmen...Norsemen...from King Rollo a Norseman and were of course a Germanic tribe.....

    @9 - Yes i am aware off all that but the point is the queens British ancestry goes back over a thousand years despite where they resided in the British isles. So despite them originating from Germanic tribes ore Norse clans, like many of us today do. The Queen is more British than German - So my point was to marcos, that CFK is more German than the Queen actually is.
