First we have to address our ridiculously outdated structure and actually government sanctioned class system.

Having a queen and a ridiculously nationalist political parties has to be the most embarrassing parts of being British.

God (lol) divinely gives power to the queen (lol) through birthrite (lol) and we are her subjects (lol).

It is so deeply offensive that I am meant to he her slave, and its shocking how much idiots dont think it matters.

youre not her slave or subject really though are you? you havent been scrubbing her shoes or done anything at the request of the royal entourage im guessing. shes just a placeholder for tradition and has no say in anything. so really, it doesnt matter. stop getting your knickers in a twist over something so unimportant and irrelevant
The Tories changed this in the British Nationality Act 1981. We are now citizens, not subjects.

I think Boris Johnson does quite a splendid job in the British embarrassment department.
