I'd have more respect for her if she was disposed of after standing up for people of her country.

The Monarch of the UK does not take an oath to defend the people of the UK per se. They only swear to govern the people.

However the monarch must swear to maintain the offical state religion, the Church of England. Would you like if the Queen, upon reading her coronation oath again, were to be strict about that? Goodbye equality law, all other religions are now banned (this used to be the case), no Catholics or Jews allowed to be MPs (this used to be the case), etc. No sane person wants that. Forget about the Queen, she has no power.

Well lets get rid of her then!

I live in a country that did just that (Ireland). :)

There are groups in the UK campaigning for a republic ( http://www.republic.org.uk/)
