Well, you don't seem to have learned anything new since the 70s, so maybe there's a grain of truth there.

I gave up 'learning' long ago. Just not worth the energy. Seeing's the answer.

Someone on the American TV yesterday said that the pageantry was wonderful and the envy of the world. Which is just bizarre.

Probably true though. It's quite, quite mental, but affecting.

Your regular reminder that you can have an almost-powerless presidency like Germany’s. And you would when you have the UK system. You wouldn’t have a US/French style presidency. Because you’re replacing an almost-powerless monarch.

The pageantry is bonkers but impressive. The rest of the world can look at it and think “wow!” That doesn’t mean they’re actually envious of it. Maybe tin-pot dictators are envious of it.

Every country on the planet is envious of our Queen and really, really wants one for themselves.

Effectively, she's Queen of the World.

That's great. The cleaning robot is standing next to a very patriotic speak-your-weight machine. |

You think it's charming now, but when the shooting starts and the robots take over, this one is going to be leading the charge.

That's a very fortunate coincidence for those who don't want the monarch to be seen consorting with a well known nonce.

It does seem like he's clueless enough to think he can come back from his noncery.

That's interesting. He might believe he can come back, but the queen doesn't want him there. Did one of the equerries switch the tests on him?
