  Not a penny for those heretic swines! 

  No taxation without representation!

  Wery well, we shall withdraw our forces!
I was really disappointed when the both the remake and the open source versions lost those memorable quotes.
Was "You may kiss our royal pinky ring" in them though?
TBH I never kissed the royal pinky ring, but as you quote it so literally, I'm starting to wonder about the wonderful English language ambiguities.
These days it's not PC to say that.

Because representation without taxation is a thing, and pointing at that, even as indirectly as this, is seen as "problematic".

Yeah so much fuzzy good memories of it. Now I want to play that game again.
