The Queen is a tradition - and one tradition that the UK should never lose. She is a 'figurehead' and a 'symbol' of our country and the Commonwealth.

The UK has already lost many of its traditions due to what the government affectionately calls 'multiculturalism'.

My American colleague returned from vacation today. He was sporting a new tattoo - the head of the Statue of Liberty with her hands covering her eyes.

A sign of things to come?
