God save the Queen! (But keep an eye on her son...)

Ethnicity: White? Well that settles all those German or English kerfuffles!

Three Cheers for Queen Vicky, the zenith of the British Empire, The Royal Navy that defended the oceans and free trade, and all those large investments by British bankers that fueled the American Industrial Revolution of the late 19th century!

I don't have any trouble reconciling my extreme repubicanism with a deep admiration for Queen Victoria. What a babe, and what a heroic woman. We in the Modern West need men like Churchill and Curzon, and we also need women like Victoria. Life will raise them up for us. If we didn't have these examples of greatness in our history, our exclusive and certain history, then I would worry.

God Save the Queen.

(And keep an eye on that wanker Charles.)

Off with his head!

No, Charles, not you, those other Charleses. No, not Chaplin. No, not the chaplin. Oh, oh, oh.

Off with my head! I'm off my head myself.
