My ancestors, the good Saxons who re-civilized Britain, were illegally, unlawfully and brutally overthrown by imperialistic white people from France in 1066; and as far as I know they never had a plebiscite about it, either. How long ago it was does not matter, it was wrong then, it is wrong now and I demand reparations and the restoration of my monarchy! I'm almost certain that I'm descended from someone related to someone who was in the line of succession, so if called upon I'm prepared to leave my comfy middle-calss American lifestyle and bear the burden of service when the legitimate Royal Family is restored. The Invader must be removed from our beautiful Isle! Well dammit, I find this inspiring!
