*** REPLACE THIS MONARCHY WITH DEMOCRACY ***

	Garry Wiegand & John Hogg (by email) say that the British monarchy
and the House Of Lords have no power in the British government. Therefore, we
can say that they perform no function. If they perform no function like the
bellringer who was supposed to warn of Napoleon's attack and was funded until
1945 (mentioned in another article), it would seem prudent to abolish the
British monarchy and the House Of Lords and thus save the British taxpayer
billions of pounds or use the funds to relieve the suffering of the tens
of thousands of homeless people in England. A number of Englishmen have already
suggested this, one of them was even a member of the House Of Lords and another
is the Chairman of the Greater London Council!

	"These people know nothing of democracy."
