Forgotten Jubilee?


Happy Golden Jubilee Day! Yes, it really is today, 50 years ago, that the dear old King died, although you could be forgiven for not knowing it, even here in Blighty. What little focus there is seems to be on the Summer, not 6th Feb. Eee, it's not like the olden days (1977). This means that I have e-mailed my two British friends in Sydney, instructing them, as Her Maj's representatives in the Commonwealth territories, that they have a duty to make sure the local criminal descendants stand up every hour, on the hour, for a rousing chorus of God Save The Queen. Anyone caught murmuring Advance Australia Fair, or (god help us) Waltzing Matilda, will be transported at once to another dependency full of dangerous criminals. Yes, I personally will bring them back here to aid the Republican revolution.
