As for how I am more free than you? You don't like the Queen answer, eh? The Queen answer is important because the whole trick in history has been to get Governments to stop recognizing royalty and put the principles of freedom and individual rights as paramount. Royalty is inherently at odds with it, so I mentioned it because your Government is not embracing the priniples of freedom fully if they have not yet rejected the obnoxious anti-freedom institution of royalty. As for other examples - your gun ban law of 1997 is all I need to point to.
Great you can tool yourself up with some of the worlds deadliest firearms, whoopy doo ! blowing each other away with guns is not a freedom I particularly want thanks. The gun laws were brought in by the government not the queen, the queen is a figurehead of the government nothing more, she and her parasitic family have no constitutional power whatsoever. Sorry if that spoils your fantasy of the UK being some kind of feudal dictatorship.
It costs the average British citizen 60 pence a year to pay for the royal family and yes I object to having to pay that 60 pence. Unfortunately the British citizenry have taken up too many American imports (complacency, obesity, obssessive consumerism, selfishness) to do anything about the monarchy.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
