Is anyone else fed up with this Royal Wedding lead up to the event?.
Every news paper and radio station you listen to is full of this bloody wedding and who is turning up etc. Why is it so special that the media have to spend so much time on it? |

Weird isn't it, we want them but we don't like them! Born to privilege fits our ever popular MP too of course. To my way of thinking, if we really do want them to 'earn' we should capitalise on it too. We are supposed to be the Royal County after all; so why aren't we really pushing the Middleton connection hard? Why let Windsor take all the bunce?
As for the campaign against, ask Mr Murdoch, or better read the Amanda 'Tory party belle' Platell columns in West Berkshire's top selling daily paper, the Mail. Nonetheless, whatever we might think about the Royal family; we are not seizing an opportunity - how very British! -------------------- Know your place!

Nonetheless, whatever we might think about the Royal family; we are not seizing an opportunity - how very British! One can just imagine how the Americans would manage the "brand" if it was theirs. I think it is a British "hair shirt" to embrace the whole royalty circus. Even when William of the dubious parentage took over the crown back in the 11th century the locals welcomed him. Fast forward 600 years and our one attempt at republicanism didn't last long. The Hanoverians were lampooned in the early days but with the introduction of the spin doctor syndrome along with a couple of world wars they are now this global image supported by the sycophantic hordes. Been stated many times, if you want to replace the royal family just consider the possibility of a President Blair.  -------------------- Si non prius succederent.......... relinquere
