Did you all see the "EDITORIAL OPINION" in the Telegraph. Its really
worth a read if you can wind your way through the maze.
It gives a run down on what's happened to all the other countires in
Europe NOT ONE has the stability that Britain has, and recalling a
post of Limbic's the other day its the royal family that keep the
continuity not the politicians who are only in power for a short time.
Prince Charles plugged that line too last night in his "Mummy" speech
(Did you hear the crowd absolutely roar when he said that ;-)
I wonder if Prince Charles /Princess Anne (I favour) or Prince William
got on their horse and read out the speech from Henry 5th brought on
by Jon how many would follow him against parliament (I do now it
wasn't parliament).just wondered???

If any of them went that far (and I very seriously doubt it) then IMHO they

But the incorporation of this sort of event into jubilee (or any other
royal) celebrations in 1977 would have been utterly unthinkable, beyond the
pale culturally. Would you not regard Blair as a key figure in the cultural
change that has brought us here?

Confound their politics
(Filed: 04/06/2002)
This week, the Queen celebrates 50 years on the Throne, and her country
celebrates 50 years with a single head of state. Over that same period,
in Europe alone:
Spain has gone from being a fascist dictatorship via an absolute
monarchy to a parliamentary monarchy, with a failed military coup in
1981 and perennial republican agitation.
Greece, a monarchy until 1974, experienced seven years of dictatorship
under the Colonels after 1967, followed by an abortive naval mutiny and
the proclamation of a republic.
The Soviet Union has collapsed, spawning eight new republics and seven
dictatorships of varying severity.
Yugoslavia has fragmented, via three murderous wars, into six
republics, two of which are effectively sub-divided into smaller states.
East Germany has disappeared.
Belgium has had three constitutional dispensations, each seeking to
find a new balance between the component ethnic groups.
Czechoslovakia has been through the Prague Spring of 1968, renewed
Russian occupation, the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and eventual partition
into two states.
Portugal has moved from Right-wing absolutism via a brief flirtation
with Left-wing absolutism to republicanism, with six provisional
governments in the immediate aftermath of the 1974 revolution.
Poland, after the Solidarity unrest of 1981 and the eventual overthrow
of the communist regime has just re-elected the former communists.
Bulgaria, after communism and democracy, has just elected its former
king as prime minister.
France has had two republics, one unconstitutional change of
government, one near-revolution and the farce of the last presidential
election.
Italy has witnessed 52 governments, four high-profile political
assassinations and the criminal indictment of dozens of ministers and
two former prime ministers.
God Save the Queen!

I think the celebrations reflected the fifty years of where the British
interests have been for the past fifty years.
Sex and drugs and rock and roll -
I think Blair got his lights punched last night and I hope he feels
terrible. The yougov poll places him and the wide mouthed frog as two
equally unpopular characters.
The first thing Blair did to the Crown was steal the Royal Yacht. That
to save 12 million a year so he said.
As he has managed to waste several billion this seems a remarkably bad
deal.
I think most British people see Blair for what he is and the Monarch for
what she is - and I know who they prefer.

I know he is. I was referring to "the Blair project" in the sense that
people identify it with cultural modernism (ie the pop concert and the
Notting Hill Carnival stuff as opposed to the more traditional jubilee
trappings). In my experience, extreme right-wing ultra-monarchist people
fear Blair for this reason as much as for his political aims.

(cliche time)
At the end of the day, when all said and done, parliament is elected and the
monarchy isnt, the ultimate consent to govern is from the people. I think
people would follow the King/Queen in an exceptional set of circumstances,
but they better be right, otherwise their abolition would soon follow.

Blair is a dead duck.
The "EU" is history.
The Queen has shown herself more than a match for
both of them.

Perhaps it's the lack of context, but that makes no sense at all.
Switzerland is an obvious example of a stable country, and so are
the Scandinavian monarchies and Finland (which is neither
Scandinavian nor a monarchy :-). Others can perhaps be listed.

he is right -
On the political compass test Blair and Thatcher appear to occupy the
same place in the NE quadrant. Surprisingly I appear to the upper left
of the center in the same place as Peter Hitchens.
And I also have real socialist friends who detest Blair
Blair is a man without any beliefs whatever other than retention of
power.
