The Queen longest serving monarch

A fairly crassly reported story after the death of the Thai king yesterday that now make QEII the longest serving

The ridiculous sight of divers saluting the queen, what a stupidly subservient thing to be put up to do.  The royal family must just laugh each time they go to events like this realising just how well their bread is buttered.

How about like Thailand we use the death of a monarch to rethink and reshape how the nation is setup and use it as a opportunity to modernise ourselves.  I always feel our ancestors would be horrified to know how we've clung onto the past just for the sake of preserving tradition.
