A Right Royal Farce

Just in case you haven't yet been sledge-hammered by the British media - Kate and William will get married next year.
'Who?' I hear you ask. Tut-tut.
William, the son of Charles Windsor who is the son of the present queen of the UK, is marrying a 'commoner' and the sycophantic media are rubbing their hands in glee at the inevitable increase in profits, clamour for advertising space and airtime, the pundits blah-blahing for hours on irrelevancies e.g. types of thread being used to sew her wedding gown, the presents received from impoverished countries and so it will go on.
All nicely timed to distract the masses from the dire financial (fleecing?)/ situation of the country. We'll wave and smile and be encouraged to have street parties (yes, you mark my words, it will happen) and on that specially created bank holiday we'll sit with our little flags and bunting for hours on end as we admire the enormous event which we have paid for.
Dumb. That's what we are. With buzz words and phrases: austerity measures, tightening belts, recession, job losses and so on yet it is totally reasonable for the British people to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on a wedding. 'Yeah, but they make a lovely couple...'

And i thought the government were meant to be cracking down on scroungers who take tax payers money...

I was particularly struck by the fact that the official announcement proclaimed that William had asked Kate's father for permission. A very modern young man indeed ...

I 100% agree. All the royal bloodsuckers should be made to work in MacDonalds until they've repayed all the money they've stolen from the public.

I find the commoner bit a right laugh, her parents are multi millionaires, not exactly off the council estate. Then again anyone without any royal blood is a commoner.

Send the whole Royal Family off to Disney World and don't let them back again!

I love them both. they look perfect as a couple. I have been following their romance and I hope their union will not be broken just like Prince William's parent's were.

Hi I am from Brazil, and our press is reporting the wedding nonstop. I saw this words "...and the sycophantic media are rubbing their hands in glee at the inevitable increase in profits, clamour for advertising space and airtime, the pundits blah-blahing for hours on irrelevancies...", and I can say that we have to deal with the exactly same thing... kisses
