If you were to read the national newspapers and listen to the BBC you would think that the whole country was swathed in Red, White and Blue.
Not so where I live. No Union jacks. bunting, street parties etc.
I think that speaks volumes!! |

Thanks KOBO, you have done a great job in putting together this topic,I am proud to be English and part of the United Kingdom,and I think that we are the only people in the world who can put on such a programme of ceremonial events.and yes FOR THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN to show the world how things should be done and how to show love and respect to our Queen,who is also the head of the Commonwealth.

Never had you down as a royalist, Kobo!
Hope Charles got a chance to visit his dad in hospital. Hope he hasn't been left on some trolly in a hospital corridar waiting for treatment.

I have no doubts at all that this story is true and as such it is a scandal,everyone is entitled to good shelter,food washing and toilet facilities,this company has not only "made a mistake" but should be penalised by losing any further government or local authority contracts which they have tendered for.
EVERYONE who knew about these plans should have their names published hopefully then all those would become unemployed by the collapse of a very greedy firm and have to live on benefits the same as the unemployed who were the subject of the story,in this case two Jags Prescott has done the right thing,after all he was the expert on greed in the past.
This revelation has tarnished the image of the Diamond Jubilee.

Who knows but from the write up it would appear that they are dodgy at the very least ! 
Quite a change for the Guardian a good story and without the usual socialist hystyria of non events.(pssst........do you think that I read the Daily Mail  )
