Interesting overview of geopolitical makeup of the Crown. Doesn't mention the City of London though.

would be interesting if it could be followed. Does the guy have to catch a bus or something? Is he late for an appointment? He must have some reason for talking so fast.

You'll notice he has a bit of disdain in his voice when he mentions "the countries which broke away violently from the crown" but then at the end he shows that those who have their "independence though parliamentary means as opposed to violence" are still directly under the crown today.

People always used the "It's a formality!" argument with me. They claim it means nothing. They claim the crown has no power.


The Queen Reigns, but does not rule. The Prime Ministers of these countries rule, but do not reign.

It's a fact that the Queen has the legal power to recall any Prime Minister in the commonwealth.

..interesting to note that as of the late 1800's it was illegal for a jew to hold public office....now the jews have sealed the royals in a corner virtually powerless.
