what happened to patriotism?
I'm getting sick of all the coverage, especially on the BBC news. I know it's state broadcasting but I wish they'd leave all the moron crap to Murdoch and Associated Newspapers.
The BBC's hands are tied, they are a notoriously lefty organisation and hence have blown all their (our) budget on absolute nonsense leaving no money left for anything worthwhile (like sport!).
Hence why the highlight of the BBC sporting calender is the boat race and, erm... comic relief?.
They have to go to town on something, so the Royal Wedding gets the full works.
Besides all that, the rest of the world does take (some) interest in these occasions and I have no problem with us showcasing our pomp and ceremony, Britain probably does it better than anyone in the world.
Dont forget that these occasions only tend to come around once every generation, and most
reasonable people will take it on face value and sit back and enjoy the show. We dont have to 'bow down and serve' the Royal family, nor respect their freebie lifestyle, but personally I do respect history and the fact that many worthy causes benefit from such occasions and the royal's public interaction. Plus I respect human life and dont wish anyone to be 'burned', just becasue they were born into a fortunate position.
However, my opinion on human sacrifice could potentially be swayed if it were staunch socialists to be thrown to the lions...
