A bright event on a dull London day - - red and ermine posers wall to wall - - an
establishment jolly - - God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world !
Or - was it all froth and no beer,
a tourist attraction, or a cynical exercise in disingenuousness, to
placate an increasingly discontented electorate
?.
Yes, the Queen's speech,
and to
paraphrase Shakespeare possibly : full of sound and fury, signifying
nothing, and delivered by a Head of
State whose eyes and tone betrayed her exasperation .
Ten minutes of repetitive, platitudinous, doggerel, and all begging
the question : WHY does the poor woman allow herself to be subjected to
this humiliating charade, and why are Lib Lab Con allowed to use her as a glossy
cover for their leather bound catalogue of incompetence and maladministration
?
Theatre it certainly
is, and presented by the B.B.C. to its
heavily conditioned audience, as : our constitutional monarchy
demonstrating extravagantly to the world, that our system is above reproach, and
just that little bit better than everyone else’s - - - Dimblebeesque harmony, a boat not for
rocking.
MY
GOVERNMENT WILL ! has
acquired a distinctly hollow ring, and we all long for something much more hard
edged, surely, and along the lines of :
I am
extremely very
dissatisfied with the conduct of my government since I was last here
! - - or
I
have repeatedly
asked my Prime Minister why he has
disregarded for so long, my subjects legitimate calls for a referendum and also
curbs on immigration, - - - - then :
I am
sure
you all share my concern over our
rising National Debt, which has been increased by over fifty percent in four
years.
And
also, I need to be informed as a
matter of urgency, why my subjects, in very significant numbers at the European
elections, voted against my Prime Minister and the policies which he has opted
to pursue without popular support - -
- -
We hear nothing like this of course, despite our democratic right to know exactly what is said at
those weekly audiences, which would reassure us that our monarch is safeguarding
our interests, and that our concerns are receiving the level of attention, which
she expects, and has charged her government with delivering.
Failure to act on her subjects behalf, would be a breach of her
coronation oath, but as things stand, the Queen’s speech is simply free
publicity for the party currently in power at Westminster.
She would do well to quote
Cromwell : You have been here too long for any good you
may have done ! ! !
