I love the fact we have a Royal family and think the Queen has done a great job these past 60 odd years promoting Britain but she could have done herself a big favour today and showed her caring side if she had stopped her speech for a minute to make sure the paige boy that fainted was ok.0

It's currently on sale in a secondhand goods shop where it is commanding a very high price as it has barely been used.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -

There's actually quite a lot to be said for public symbolic gestures like this - we punctuate our lives with them (Christmas, Easter, even birthdays for instance). Schools do nativity plays each year so we remember the story of a guy being born, we have bonfire night to mark the foiling of a terrorist plot to destroy parliament, there are so many.
One could argue they're all meaningless too using the same criteria, but historical rooting of an individual or country gives us a reminder of how hard people fought to get us the democratic rights we have now, and lends perspective and grounding to proceedings.0 -

At least John539 can't complain about it being a Tory waste of money as it was started 10yrs ago.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Amazing really that seemingly ordinary people choose to defend this sickening institution.
In a country where people have to go to food banks, we have this extended aristocracy who claim their fortunes simply by accident of birth. These people swan about in 5+++star luxury, just because they happen to be born into this privilege club.
If we're talking aout my brain, or lack of same, I would suggest that these defendants of the Royals, perhaps engage theirs, and stop swallowing the vast PR machine which promotes these useless beings.
You can't open a magazine or newspaper without seeing fawning, sickly praise of the current pair of toffs who are on the front page of every mindless publication, apparently because they've got married and had a baby! Well big deal!
If 'hard working' is travelling the world in private jets with silver service 24 hours a day, then people, you're simply deluded.0
