It's The Queen's sixtieth jubilee, congratulations, you have, by all accounts, been a very good queen.
However, the premise of a jubilee is one that confuses me. It's essentially the whole country joining together on what must be a difficult day for her majesty, the anniversary of the death of her father. We basically celebrate the death of a man we once sang for the safety of during a World War, and before the pub closed (a tradition that petered out over time, and would probably explain why the likes of Wayne Rooney don't know it).
I've never been much of a royalist, to be completely honest the whole idea of a democracy with royalty makes no sense whatsoever, they're essentially a family that go on a lot of holidays to visit people that we, as her loyal subjects, couldn't give less interest to as we work tirelessly to ensure that the places that we work do not suffer the death associated with a double-dip recession.
But hey, what an ambassador she is. Thanks Ma'am.
