[SOC] [OT] President Obama in Australia

[Chris Lashmar]

Ah Yes as a Brit the current encumbent of the Australian Leadership is
a rabid republican ie wants our Queen not to be the Titular head of
the Australian nation and the Australian people have rejected such
proposals and of course the Geographical Locale  is mor in the sphere
of USA not UK. The days of the the brits ruling the waves are sadly
gone and I detect that our country is regarded as a bit of a joke. I
dont of course and am a rabid monarchist as poltititions reall ere the
joke
