Hello, I'm Nicolas, 26, I'm a Frenchman from... France. Oui !!! lol

I really like the English people, England, its history...

I do have a blog on which I write as Phil Defer about politics, society, in French but also in English. Latest : an archive (2006) of an interview Graham Smith (Republic) granted me. http://parolesdactu.canalblog.com

 Also, something about the 2012 U.S. election : http://parolesdactu.canalblog.com/archives/2011/11/30/22852544.html

I'd like to chat with you, and to know if someone would be interested in answering some of my questions regarding the Queen, the monarchy ?

Merci beaucoup !!! Amicalement

 

Nicolas is my real name. My Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/nicolasjmroche

 

Here are my questions. Could you please answer them by private message or mail : parolesdactu@yahoo.fr   , since I would like to keep them from being published before my article, and everyone to answer without having read any of the other answers.

 

1. Could you please introduce yourself in a few sentences ?

2. How do you view the British monarchy ? The family, its costs to the British people, its role in the government and the shaping of a society...

3. What are your feelings on Queen Elizabeth II ? Maybe you associate her with decisive moments for the world, the U.K. or your own life ? Is she clearly "your" queen ?

4. Imagine you're given the chance. Would you vote for or against the abolition of the monarchy, the replacement of the monarch as head of state by a president elected by either the people directly or by its representatives ?

5. If you want the monarchy to survive after Queen Elizabeth, who do you want to be the next king (Charles or William) and why ?

6. A more general question... How do you feel about today's British society ? Would you say the country's heading in the right direction ?

7. Anything you'd like to add ?
 

 

 

MERCI !!!

How come you don't do "French" genealogy stories....I could sure use some of them, also records around the time of the French and Indian War here in America...with names attached to them. There was an early group fo 80 to 90 Frech families in Viences (sp?)Ohio or Indiana that needs better defined. Also an Brasher/Breaze family also.

Accordingly...Bloodline of the Holy GRail, by Laurence Gardner can answer many of your questions up above as to how Royaty in England is suppose to take it's course...in reguard to it's history. I think they said that probably Charles would step down and let his son William take the throne, because of his advanced  age...the Monarchy is not the political head of the British I don't think, but has great influence upon it.   The Queen has been around so far most of my life in world history...I think she will be greatly missed if she were not there as usual. We are losing much of the people that made such an great impact on life when I was an kid in the 50's these days...and their era of "glamour" in the news is greatly missed for what we have going on today...where the news is not favorable to anyone with celebrity status....where more space is taken up with stuff like what color toliet paper they used that day instead of what good they did in the world. Sad, but true....we need better reporters maybe life could be better for everyone?

Hello, I'm so sorry for replying that late !!! Are you much into genealogy yourself ? Thank you for your answer, very interesting. The idea, just as for my U.S.A. 2011-12 article http://parolesdactu.canalblog.com/archives/2011/11/30/22852544.html is to allow people who have different points of view on this topic to express themselves. Here, on the Queen and the monarchy. If someone else would be interested, please feel free to give your answers here or contact me !!! Merci :)

Yes,... and about the era of the French and Indian War in Colonial America.. there are many unkowns in history that need to be written about and clarified...particualry with the lines of the "Templar Knights" movement also. I can remember some 40 years ago when if you went into Canada...that everything they sold was half in English and half in French. France will play an very large part in the so called days of "armegeddon" per the bible also...as it will be forging supposedly the "tools" in that battle...will they be "Gold" as one person said..or spiritual? Being an Frenchman, perhaps you can better tell us the story?

I'd like to see the re-run of the documentary they made on the "Ten Last Tribes of Isreal" again...it was done by either the History Channel or National Geographic many years ago. Be something maybe for Easter coming up if they could find the film again, atone time there was an bible History Channel that had soem prettty fascinating information on it also. It was where I saw for the first time this supposed group in France to make the Gold tools in the last battle. Supposedly skill craftmen in metalurgy.I'm not thinking of France right now as being exceptionally loaded with Gold over there, but I suspose if it amounted to our world era in an battle they have plenty to melt down in ways...if not the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau resolved. You know the templar knights were into alchemy in thier day. The bible history channel had taken one episode to quote bible passages and then see if they could perform what sounded like and miracle to us these days...and sure enough...they proved those miracles were all done with the chemistry one knew. Most of them were very simple to do, if you took the bible passage at heart and listened to what they were saying.
