Rightful King of England dies in Australia. The man historical researchers determined was the rightful heir to the British monarchy, but worked as a forklift driver in New South Wales, died Saturday at age 71. His name was Mike. Meanwhile, the usurper known as Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee. As The Temptations say, “Ain’t No Justice.”

Funny that he's not on the list:

British Royalty. Who cares?
Hey, she's your queen, too, Scotsman. (Or she would be if she was legitimate. As it stands, it looks like Mike was your king.)
On occasion, at the Renaissance Faires I have my booth at, shown my arse to the "Queen" as she goes by in her little processions, being carried by her servants. Being Scottish, she is NOT my Queen, other than by force. I can't tolerate the smell of the stuffy bitch, and always wonder why those British dunderheads continue to support a family in that style for no good reason whatsoever.
LOL. I knew I'd get a response from a Scotsman on that subject.
"God shave the Queen! Lord knows she needs it!"
They can take our lives, but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!!
Hey there...welcome back...missed you.
▲ What she said.
Hey! It's Robert!
The "Wagga Wagga Daily Advertiser"? US newspapers might be doing better if they had cool names like that(or if they started including few actual facts in some of their stories).
Untold millions have died in the clan warfare about who is the true religion sunni vs. shiiiite. The Brits and the Aussies might be arguing about who is really the monarch but no one is declaring war on the other. That is the true test of a civilized society.
I knew it! Another ghastly plot by Corporate Greed to break down the monarchy of Great Britian and take the power for themselves. Looks like it's not just America at risk.
*yawn* Don't you ever get tired of the "corporate greed" mantra?
Oh, noes! Gollum... do they even have Cheetos in the UK? Will they use an army of Evil Crisps instead? Maybe I've been taking the wrong plan with Livvy. Maybe we should be encouraging her eating habits, rather than trying to re-train her. We could have her waiting in the wings as our Secret Weapon, ready to gobble up the enemy when it finally makes its move.
You let me worry about this one, all right? We need you to get back to focusing on finding a job, honey. Have you checked the want-ads today yet?
If it did, it's must be depressing to know that their are very few job opportunities for delusional basement dwellers with pedophile tendencies.
If anything I'm overqualified for most jobs as I know too much truth.
Those jobs must have some mighty low requirements.
Turds.
If Corporate America is hiring illegals over legal citizens to save a few bucks for their own greed, then the requirements MUST be low.
Grow Up John....Your insensate, childhood tantrum about corporations has nothing to do with this thread. I hope your worst nightmare comes true, A big old mean corporation takes your mommy's house and builds a McDonald's on it and your forced to live in a cardboard box...
You are the most one dimensional person here...Big Corporation s bad Lone Ranger...
Which corporation worked you over to say that and how much did they pay you off?
Corporate pawn.
John, You are dumber than a fuckin' box of dirt....
John, get a clue. Personally, I believe that nearly all the ills of this country come directly from people not obeying the Constitution. But I don't mention that in EVERY SINGLE POSTING. Read a little, expand your horizons.
Gollum! I told you to stay *away* from that man with the gold tooth who keeps selling you "candy." That's NOT candy and it's making you say and do some extraordinarily silly things!
England has an illegitimate Queen whereas we have the illegitimate King Obama.
Did you hear this clown's speech yesterday? "Hot enough for you?" One million people on the East coast still without power, heat wave and drought here in the Midwest, huge fires in the West and all the King can say "Hot enough for you?" How obtuse can you get? Maybe I'm wrong calling him the King, he's more like Marie Antoinette.
Haha, just looking at this article! I said the BBC is rivaling The Onion for absurd rubbish. This guys claim to the throne is even more tenuous than Lizzy Warren's claim to be Cherokee.
Well, in fairness to... uh, let's call him King Mike, it's not HIM claiming the throne. It's the documentarians who did the research who made the claim. His Other Royal Highness seemed quite content driving his forklift.
Yeah. He seemed to have a good attitude about the whole thing. RIP, King Mike.
But if I was Mike's son (according to the article he does have a son), I'd make a good-natured run at the monarchy by hiring Gloria Alred and holding a press conference... it worked against Herman Cain.
All I would have to do is list the idiotic things Prince Charles has said about Global Warming and the English people would carry me into Buckingham Palace on their shoulders.
