BT a Tory now that’s novel. His mentor Jeremy would prefer the massive expenditure on a May Day parade in Red Square. China or N Korea where people who don’t applaud get locked up and lots of the crowd will report you to the police for misdemeanours they allege you have done - when really they just don’t like you.
Power to the people!!???? Not!!
Back to the thread
Happy days and a self assured performance.

In the US, people have used the hashtag #BlackRoyalWedding and welcomed the diverse feeling of the wedding. Top terms tweeted were "gospel choir", "Sheku Kanneh-Mason" and "Martin Luther King"
I noticed the wealth was generated in the South East of England yet again. "Prosperity being spread all around"?Quote:

Yet another bumper pay day for London, when we have perfectly suitable cathedrals and castles in the North of England.
Noticeable by their absence was the presence of Windsor's! rough sleepers and homeless. Let's all pretend we live in a fairy story?
American third rate actress marries handsome warrior prince and live happily ever on the back of the gullible and downtrodden British taxpayer. Ye Gods!
Congratulations to the married couple, a self assured performance from an American actress, but this is what a black woman actually looks like...Quote:

It is reckoned, extra government supplied security is another £100 million down the drain...
You may well be right OC! I spent the whole day at a Labour Party Forum Conference discussing real issues with real people. I got home and the child bride said I am a miserable old curmudgeon and should have spent the day glued to the television watching a third rate American soap actress get hitched to a British military helicopter pilot.Quote:
You are a misery BT and as ever open to one side of a debate. 2 billion people saw this and lots came to Britain for it. Do the maths!
Not at all sure how 2 billion people watching a staged wedding benefits me one bit. My wife said Windsor was jam packed with tourists, not sure how that benefits me either?
I've done the maths, a lot of money was generated for the people of the South East of England, not sure how that benefits me either.
I will however take on board your boundless joy and check my pension calculations and wage packet to see just how much I am personally better off.
Let me know when the rate of income tax is increased to pay for this joyous, happy event. I won't be holding my breath. So now both public spending and wealth generation are a bad thing ? And what's wrong with the South East ? Eton College might be in the area but it's not the toffs working in the cafes, bars, restaurants and shops in the area who gain from the employment provided by the wealth generated from events such as these, not to mention the income tax and NI paid on said employment, or the VAT generated by the spending, or the business rates collected as businesses prosper. It's just the ordinary working people of the area, and also those dependent on public services, who benefit as the money and tax receipts roll in. But you Labour chappies never are that strong on economics are you, this country has had plenty of evidence of that, just strong on envy, hypocrisy, bile, virtue-signalling and a grossly misplaced assumption of smug moral superiority.Quote:

Just been watching a re-run of some of the ceremony, just to keep Mrs S onside, I know what's good for me. Bloody hell, that American pastor went on a bit didn't he, I'd eaten a bowl of cornflakes and my Craster kippers and he was still going on. How Brenda and the Duke stopped awake I'll never know. Sense of duty I suppose, HM will never let us down, you can guarantee that in an uncertain world. I'm not religious at all but God bless her, she's an absolute diamond.

Doubt many will come to Bolton, but they may come to Burnley given our status in the PL. lol
Yes I lost the will in the Fire and a few in the congregation were smirking, but having read his words I suppose he is right - Fire generates electricity which drives the internet. What that has do with the wedding I’m not sure. I gather Welby teased him later over the time he took - supposed to be 6 mins, but he went down a storm with some especially BAME cultures.Quote:
