Am I alone in sharing not one iota of interest in the events of 19th May?
I am a Republican and would consign the monarchy to the depths of a Disney park because that is what they are. Cartoons. Just so you know.
I am fed up to the back teeth that all my news feeds about stuff I AM interested in has been hijacked by all sorts of trivia about a couple I have no connection to by people who have no right to enter my cyberspace!
I am cynical and believe that succesive government's use these occasions to hide the fact that they are messing up BIG TIME but didn't the bride look fab!
The news was full of a story about a young girl who survived the Manchester bombing getting a selfie with Mr Beckham. It was a heart warming tale too true.
But the press pick and choose their happy stories.
Just this week I saw an article claiming that the government won't foot the bill for removing potentially life threatening cladding from tower blocks. This is just another reminder to the dispossesed, out of work, disadvantaged and ethnic minorities that your lives are worthless.
I am convinced that Grenfell Tower should be made safe but left in ruin as a reminder to the world what happens when we value certain people over others less fortunate than ourselves
Were any of those survivors invited to the wedding? Or just survivors of politically convenient disasters?
Didn't the bride look nice though?
