The Queen stands for Monarchy, so I guess you could accuse me of Tyrannophobia, which is "a fear of monarchy". I mean, I'm not afraid of them, but it's closer to the mark than xenophobia, which would have absolutely nothing at all to do with the Queen or monarchy. Of course even if the queen DID stand for Britain, a dislike of the Queen and Royalty - even a dislike of Britain itself - would have no relation to Xenophobia. Which - just to clarify for you Alf, as you appear to be struggling - specifically means "dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries".
You just had to say, "no! I'm not" I'd have accepted that as an answer.

Not you then, just other people?

Yes but then you would have ploughed on through life in ignorance, completely misunderstanding the meaning of the word "xenophobia".

People who are prejudiced against or dislike people from other countries, as per the definition Alf. Do we really have to go over it again? You could just reread the last post...

You hate what my country stands for. And technically I'm from a different country than you. Me England you Scotland. So you can see why people would think you're a xenophobe.

Your country stands for The Monarchy? I would imagine there are a lot of English people who would disagree with you. You mean that I hate what you, personally stand for but I'm afraid that I simply don't accept that you are a representative example of the average English citizen, Alf. 40 or 50 years ago, maybe. Not in 2017.

The Monarch is the country. When you bad mouth the Monarch, you bad mouth the country.

If you got rid of the Monarch, then all what is hers and ours goes into politicians hands.

Money
Armed forces
Police
Courts
Parliament
ect


Defend your Monarch, and have a feeling of safety in your life. The Monarch is your biggest protection in life, it keeps you from the dictators. Although they're trying to get rid, but need the people to all turn on the Monarch. So don't do it.
