Give me a ring when yu get rid of your national church, hereditary head of state, and completely undemocratic upper house of lords.

Don't act like yur history is anything but a fiction plzzz. Is there any official historical document older than 50 years that was written by anyone democratically elected in England? NOPE.

so if you wanna talk about selective history...

You don't know anything about the UK if you think the Royal Family or the Church has any sort of real power over how the country is run these days. l suggest you stop watching The Tudors for any insight into our modern day politics systems The house of Commons are the ones that proposes most actions, Also the House of Lords is hardly hereditory based any more, only 91 out of 700 and odd are there because of their heredity.

The rest of your post is rather silly, we've had elections for more then 50 years so that point is rather....pointless.

Do they announce themselves, and once they do announce themselves, that then gives them the right to continue robbing you???

That, I thought, would be obvious. If a burglar is going to rob you in the night then they're gonna play it safe, they won't go anywhere near any bedrooms for fear of waking someone up, the only time you hear about violent burglars is when they're confronted. A murderer on the other hand would obviously be less concerned so you'd hear them upstairs (given that this scenairio is based around being aware of an intruder in you house I'm guessing the same would apply to a murderer). I'd act cautiously but I'd act if someone was approaching the bedrooms but if they stuck to the downstairs, let them carry on. You can get possessions back on insurance. Better that then die on the edge of a knife over an iPod.
