The British Monarchy

[bluethrunthru]

The republicans will be having kittens when it all starts and the streets are packed.

I saw the other night that for the last jubilee there were 16k applications for street closures for parties - thus far there has been less than 150 for Coronation street parties. I fear this may be a huge divider for the Royal Family - no QE 2 will make or break them.

I have no doubt that in the best recent tradition the r/w press already have two stories written - how great it was and how the public snubbed it and they will go with the one that they feel is most expedient

I was quite surprised to see a poll the other day that said the majority were not that interested. Only a small proportion was very interested.

All my locals open at ten and shut whenever they want.

The streets will be hammered mate, all these polls and reports mean the sum total of nothing. London will have its finery on and it'll annoy the fuck out of a small minority who are very interested in anything negative about the monarchy.

The other folk will eat cake and be merry.

It's an excuse to get pissed and have a day off. most dont care about the actual event.

Most celebrations are the same, we will have people flooding from overseas for the event and that's a good thing.

The "Nobody cares" nonsense is just that, nonsense.

The vast majority of people can be uninterested, and it still leaves millions.

It probably is a small minority that are "annoyed the fuck out", but the majority will just be uninterested. Which is hardly a surprise.
