Any of you British Subjects anything planned for it? Street parties? Villaige Fairs? Forelock tugging competitions?
I'll more than likely welcome the later bank holiday and spend it in the pub - like about 50% of the population i would guess..
Some clown will probably start bleating on about Republicans "enjoying the extra day off" (which I shall) but only because we're currently rank bottom in Europe for stautory holidays and the only "citizen's holiday" we have in Mayday is about to be wheeched from under us. In short, I'll be having a **** over Lizzy's face on a tenner
Have nothing personal against Elizabeth Windsor, or her family, but this this jubilee baloney is complete nonsense. Lets look at it logically, elected head of state, through birthright, and status, never been an election for anyone else to get this position, on ability, and she has avoided death, I do not see this as an achievement. Every country which calls itself a true democracy, needs to appoint people on ability, and not status, and needs accountability, which you do not get with this family. Very strange that you can not get a F.O.I. request for this family now, allthough perhaps its not, when you could get the odd one bear fruition, it was revealed that the great girl wanted money from an emergency fund, set aside for poor people, this fund was for grants, she wanted it to heat her palace. Jeffrey Assange of wilkileaks, revealed what an cock up Andrew Windsor was making, over his role as a trade envoy. He was victim of an astonishing attack by Simon Wilson, who branded him, a boorish, bungling, freeloader. According to Wilson, Winsor never followed his brief, and was out of his depth at board meetings. Amazingly Windsor had a close friendship with a jailed sex offender, one Jeffrey Epstein, and according to reports had saunas in his house. Again all this shows that a member of the royal family has got a position through status, rather than ability. If you do celebrate this jubilee, enjoy yourself, obviously I think you are stark raving mad, but do read the small print.
