    The Dragon wasn't English though.
    In line with many first and second generation immigrant families, she probably calls herself "British" rather than English.

        "Royal family" is deliberately confusing the issue. Your question should be, for how many generations has QE2's direct ascendents been here? Depending on which side you go, only 4 or 5.

          No it isn't, I think I would know if it was deliberate

          So she's not "In line with many first and second generation immigrant families". Arguing someone is an immigrant or not English because their great-great-great-grandparents were not born here is idiotic.

            Depends if they breed with the locals.
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Not entirely there were Roman British leaders after the fall of the Roman Empire that fit the mythos, it was Mallory et al that really turned into fiction with all that Mort D'Arthur rubbish
                  Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                  No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
