So you are watching then?
One ting you have to give to the Pommies is they know how to do pomp and pageantry extremely well.
In reply to NineMiles
I watch all political events and yes no one does fairy tales wid pomp, splendor and BS better than the Brits..
There is only one ting Liz facilitated on dis planet- female leadership across the globe. Indira and Golda were the first and not to be Trussted the latest.
In reply to Chrissy
Only ting missing so far is di "Rule, Britannia" anthem!
In reply to NineMiles
Never in their fairy tales ceremonies- notice how only females read di lessons and two were of Afro origin- symbolism keeps they myths going.
Dem racist songs were reserved for football and cricket. We banned di Rule One at our cricket grounds.
My best joke was when some Brits put up dem flags in front of our seats before we arrived at bina. I went to di inspector of police and told him that I would be removing it. He agreed. Dat was so much freaking fun. Did we ever laugh. And Taylor tore through dem.

Just heard on my drive in the work that is a recent phenomenon, it only started in the 20th Century. Whereas the Italian/Romans been doing with style and panache for centuries.
In reply to StumpCam
Europeans stole most of the ceremonial stuff and di numerology associated with it from Africa and Asia.
Pay attention to the timing, the numbers etc. nuff nuff guzzum with symbols, statues and time.
In reply to StumpCam
And of course the Romans/Italians, Arabs, Asians, Africans etc were never barbaric.
Lets move on shall we and live in the 21st century!

They make fairy tales look low keyed in comparison to their rituals.What we are witnessing is the " mother of all pantomimes "
In reply to Chrissy
What happened?
In reply to FanAttick
Chrissy scoring points against your PM.
It was appropriate for the head of the Commomwealth, Baroness Scotland should do one of the readings at the Church service.
Other than the British PM, I dont believe any other head of govt gave a reading.

Still enjoying the grand procession I see.
You must be a great fan the British Royal Family. Of course, she was also your head of state and what an obedient subject you are
In reply to NineMiles
Imagine if an African leader broke a wand and put it on a coffin what di West would say - pantomime is right but it's looking more like guzzum
In reply to NineMiles
I am a political scientist by training and a very curious person re allyuh guzzum - deading wid laugh and enjoying di free panto

I supposed they are comfortable carrying out medieval practices in the 21st century.
In reply to cricketmad

In reply to Chrissy
Ok..got you
In reply to Chrissy
I am still waiting to see them make her "rise up ,and walk "
In reply to cricketmad
Even they know better - they changed di words of di anthem in minutes and just broke di magic wand.Next!
In reply to Chrissy I came late to the party. Obvious omission of female leaders is the one who came before Gandhi and Meir--Sirimavo Bandaranaike.

Good spot
Watched the ceremony...one thing stood out for me , apparent lack of diversity in armed forces....did not see many non-white faces and am surprised that even if there are only a few, they were not prominently showcased if only to present the illusion of inclusiveness...
