Dear Frank, Sally and of course Crocodile Ponte,
Your comments are very bad and wicked  and of course true. Yes, we still
have Queen Elizabeth, yes they were probably glad to get rid of us 100
years ago and we like to think they've  probably regretted it ever since.
One day our republican movement will get its act together and hopefully we
will not have King Charles III.
However we are pretty good at organising elections and counting  votes.....
