Royal wedding
So the day has finally dawned. I wish them every happiness, but I'm afraid I won't be watching. It'll be on the news - in fact it will be interesting to see whether there will be any other news - so I won't be able to miss it, and therefore I might just as well spend the day doing something more useful. And no, I'm not a republican. I think the Monarchy are an essential part of our constitution and culture, and do a tremendous amount of good for the country. It's just that I wish we could treat them more as ordinary men and women doing a job - and doing it well - and get away from the tugging-the-forelock kowtowing on the one hand, and the pop-star-culture adoration on the other. A young couple are getting married - end of story.
