Censoring Royal Weddings…

Apparently a planned satirical show in Australia that had been planned to use some footage of tomorrows Royal Wedding has been prevented from doing so by the Royal Family.

Sorry to be a sour pus- but I just do not get it. All this fuss over the weddings of anachronistic archaic figureheads. I remember the last Royal Wedding- I was on a walking holiday in the Lake District. I am off camping on a small island this time! You could say I am indulging in a little personal censorship.

All the Diana stuff- before and after her tragic death- it was always a total tabloid distraction from real issues. She seemed to me to be a rather vacuous person married to a chromosome too far.

As you might guess, I am not a Royalist- I have decided that I am a lazy Republican. I would rather be rid of the lot of them, but at the same time I am not sure what we would do instead. And they are rather decorous… A bit like visiting a Stately home- a crumbling relic of a time when the masses lived and worked at the behest and whim of the few. Perhaps we still do.

Anyway- here is the story.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

  1. This is getting scary- first we like the same cd and I agree with you on this (in fact I have a post on ‘it’ tomorrow). I too am a ‘lazy republican’.

  2. Chuckle- did you ever see that episode of Rab C Nesbit when he goes on holiday to Spain and discovers a Spanish version of himself?

    Look forward to reading your post- hope it is slightly less ranty than mine!
