Finningleyboy,
"...silly arrogant and imperialist.."?
Well, outdated, outmoded, irrelevant and anachronistic maybe....
BUT, as to the Queen being above the law, I think not.
The last Royal that thought they were above the law was Charles 1, who was arrested, charged, found guilty and beheaded.
As for Sean Penn, I recall a lovely cartoon about him many years ago, when he was starring in a rather pro IRA film, in which 2 cinema goers were seen chatting about the film as they came out. There was a news poster in the background about the uncensored full frontal nudity in the film, and the fact that Sean Penn was in it, one said to the other;
"It's true, you get to see a complete prick!"
