THE Wedding...

I love a wedding, and today was a special day.  Many of my fellow lefty colleagues will be busy doing other things; perhaps out doing a spot of canvassing for the elections that are due on 5 May, watching the snooker on BBC2, going to the cinema to see Thor, or simply watching the wedding to criticise it as often as possible on Twitter.

Personally, I'm cool with that.  The joy of living in the UK means that people have the right to be arch monarchists or arch republicans.  Only a few months ago I was at a meeting where it was voted and agreed that the people should pursue a republic.  I voted against.  

You see, I fall into neither camps.  The monarchy maybe a throw back to a feudal past, but when you watch such an amazing spectacle as we did today, we see something that makes the majority of the country proud and united.  It also makes me proud, and when I see the fact that so many other people also feel proud, how and why should I want to do away with the monarchy?

Well, not quite yet, anyway...
