I take it the austerity thing ended with the demise of Cameron & Osborne then? What about fixing the roof while the sun is shining? Or was that all just ideological bollocks to make the working classes suffer?

The only explanation I can see for the British public's fascination for the Royal Family is Stockholm Syndrome. During this Queen's reign we have gone from being a manufacturing giant where everyone had a job and where there was a strong community spirit to an almost third world cesspit where it is dog eat dog and nobody knows their neighbour. She has behaved like a powerless puppet, but it didn't have to be that way. She could have interceded and protected us from some of the worst things our treacherous governments have inflicted on us.

"Until there is a settlement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the Royal family can't really go there," said one Whitehall source.
"There have been inward State Visits by Israel, which just involves dealing with the Head of State, but in Israel so much politics is caught up in the land itself that it's best to avoid those complications altogether by not going there."
