My dad says the noise I made about this today made me look like a royalist. I am not, I hasten to add. But neither can I be arsed to be a Republican. I just love news like this. You know, light hearted news that although of course might not be the most important news in the world, but makes a change from depressing doom and gloom of the usual headlines. I also love how something as fairytale as a Royal Wedding can rip through twitter in a matter of seconds and become the most read bbc story is a flash. This is not a right-wing-i-love-the-monarchy-and-privilege political view, I just think it's nice.
There has been an outburst from all the miserable sods out there about taxpayers money and unwarranted coverage. Thinking that this wedding will be bad for the UK economy and the UK tax payer is just, well, thick. The amount of worldwide hype surrounding this wedding will do wonders for tourism, and generate far more money than it will cost us.
And for those thinking it is some sort of Tory plot to cheer everyone up from the cuts..."Just like Thatcher organised the marriage of Charles and Di when she was unpopular...and Ted Heath made Princess Anne get hitched" ...to seriously believe a conspiracy theory like that you have to be weird/alone/mentally challenged/sexually frustrated.
To be fair, the whole celebration of the institution of marriage...talk about family background etc etc makes me cringe. But, whatever. I mean, generally I am notorious for being opposed hereditary privilege but I think these guys pay a big enough price for the luxuries they have.
I am looking forward to it. So shhhh you depressing bastards.
Peace out.
