That crowning glory
Is this really all they have got? To celebrate the jubilee the government is bringing back the crown on pint glasses and imperial weights and measures.
Oh wait, they already brought back the crown months ago and even the timid Beeb pointed out there was no reason they couldn’t have done that before Brexit.
Then the return of pounds and ounces, which no one under 50 has ever learnt to use, is actually a consultation and was also announced earlier.
What a wonderful gift for her Majesty after 70 years of service, a consultation and a small mark anyone could have put on a glass at any time, both second hand. Plus the use of her and her jubilee for party political purposes.
Yes, let’s not forget that, using HM The Queen and an occasion of national, patriotic unity to make a petty, pathetic, Brexit related posture.
Class act this lot, aren’t they? It isn’t enough to announce a second bank holiday, be pictured at Her Majesty’s side and hope for some reflected glory.
They had to make a spurious Brexit related announcement, pin it to the jubilee and get a headline from the kind of newspapers that don’t even check their own archive of front pages to see if it is re-heated bullshit.
From Winston Churchill to this, embarrassing just isn’t strong enough.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
