The Royal wedding

A fellow blogger has send me a link and asked me to insert it on my blog but I couldn't manage it. Its a link connected to a face book movement which basically supports an argument aimed at insuring that the tax payer does not pay for the wedding of William and Ms middle class. As I said I could not get the link to work so apologies for that but anyone interested in finding out can just google the subject.

I am also keen not to get involved in any debate which may look like I am against two people getting married because they are basically in love. Katie Middleton middle class seems nice enough and William has very little choice other than to become the King one day so lets not spoil it for them. I am of course a socialist and believe in equality and fairness and do not like distinctions but even in a pure democracy you have an elected president who behaves, more or less, as monarch would. You also have fierce anti establishment figures like John Preston, who end up embrassing what the institution brings and become part of it by becoming Lords. So on balance, and given the a Royal wedding will bring in the tourists and give London at least a mini boom, I am not too anti. So lets leave them alone as the chance of removing the monarchy in this country is none existent. So lets enjoy the artificially created euphoria that the event will create. My mother seems to be happy about the whole thing so it must be ok.. she also says that no one knows who the president of Greece is whereas everyone knew King Constantine 9Prince Williams God father..) she may have a point.
