"No, we don't 'go to war' Lizzie, we are sent to war by people just like this nasty little prick and his family" - Jim Carroll

Now over the years I've come across some pretty bloody stupid ill-informed crap written by supposedly intelligent people on this Forum - But that Jim-lad - Takes the f**kin' biscuit!! There is not one whit of it true, nor could it have been true for rather a large number of years now - In fact Jim, not since 1688.

Don't believe me Jim - direct from the "horses mouth as it were":

From - HOUSE OF LORDS
Select Committee on the Constitution

15th Report of Session 2005 - 2006

"Waging war: Parliament's role and responsibility"

Volume 1 - REPORT

Chapter 1 Introduction and Background

INTRODUCTION
1. Under the Royal prerogative powers, the Government can declare war and deploy armed forces to conflicts abroad without the backing or consent of Parliament.

BACKGROUND
The origins and nature of the prerogative
4. The Royal prerogative derives from the constitutional settlement enshrined in the Bill of Rights 1688, which in effect transferred to Ministers certain rights which were previously the exclusive preserve of the Monarch.

So from that Jim - Neither Harry's Granny or any of her predecessors going all the way back to William of Orange could send any of their subjects off to war as you contend.
