I watched the Helen Mirren film The Queen this weekend, and it's made me more of a Republican than ever. All that walking backwards out of the room, because you can't turn your back on the monarch, how ridiculous, especially when it's our elected Prime Minister who is doing the backwards shuffle.

A nice enough woman, and if the majority of people had voted her to be our Head of State, I'd have no argument with her, but all that annointed as God's representative on Earth, is a load of old tosh in my opinion.
