my point exactly. and that sense of britishness is so powerful it extends across the globe..
I mean, as I said, I am not particularly pro-monarchy, just commenting on what I see.
I am a Rastaman, and the folks I deal with are Rastamen, and we Rastafari people are blatant anti-colonialists, and we burn fyah on British colonial govt for a long time, so I do not necessarily support it here, but I am just commenting on its obvious popularity and role in identity formation.
