Alf Filer shows himself to be the only person in the solar system who’s cross about the impending marriage of Billy Windsor and Kate Middleton.
There is nothing like a royal wedding to give the media an excuse to ignore the real issues of the day. For the next two years we can expect 24/7 coverage and speculation about the plans of the royal tax evaders to divert the public’s attention and save the ruling class.
Now of course there is no problem with the loving couple sharing their plans of future joy and happiness with others. We wish them all the best. (No Alf we don’t – Liam) However if this means sponging off working people and expecting us to forget the effects of austerity and jump up with joy instead then forget it.
If they were to have a civil wedding at the local registry office or continue to live in sin then fine. A quick celebration at the local café with the immediate family then fine. However if it is to cost us tax payers millions, as we see them indulging in pageantry and nonsense, then forget it.
Reports of celebrations at No 10 Cabinet meeting, messages of congratulations from Ed and co, along with numerous TV announcements is enough to wish for a speedy return of Cromwell.
Whilst the Union Jack will be flying high everywhere you go, millions are asking what about the cuts, rising unemployment and waste on illegal wars. Yet the Establishment expect us to turn a blind eye and overlook the crises.
Images of Saint Diana will be flashed on the screens,along with the Golden Jubilee plans and the Olympics in 2012. Nationalism at its worst will be thrown at us from all quarters of the press.
This may divert some from blaming the Con Dems but others may start to raise the need for a Workers Republic once again and send a coach and horses through this royal parasitic exhibition. Rejection of this blind reactionary and rotten nationalism hopefully will emerge as those in struggle to defend jobs and services chose not to fall for the biggest and oldest diversionary con trick out.
Liam redux
