The preparations for my Royal Wedding street party are well advanced. The bunting’s been strung, the cakes have been baked and I’ve arranged the tumbrels and effigies.
The only thing left to do is make sure that I can get into the office to work on the bank holiday. I will devote my lunch hour to reading from Thomas Paine’s
Rights of Man and Mary Wollstonecraft's
Rights of Woman.
Across the UK and the world, regardless of race, creed, colour, people are being drawn together by a universal sense of “who gives a toss?”
You would not know this from the mainstream media, who are largely parroting the usual “Gor bless yer ma’arm” cobblers about a nation united by street party mania focused on people they’ve never met.
Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m just another egotistical hack telling people what “the silent majority” think. Maybe I’m the only cynical, twisted killjoy in the country.
So, in the interests of accurate journalism, why don’t you say what you think in
The Caledonian Mercury's grand Royal Wedding souvenir survey?
