Diamond Jubilee

The Diamond Jubilee Weekend is here. Gibraltar is festooned with the flags as it often is but given the recent fishing dispute it seems slightly more British than it might have been. Nothing wrong in that it is human nature. The weather is good the sea is bloody cold and I'm constantly wondering where the weeks are going. Once again the Queen isn't coming and to be fair it's about time she did and bugger the Foreign Office. We are getting Eddie & Sophie which is a bit like being told you've won the lottery and finding out it was only 1 number and 1 star. If UK is ashamed of its past fine but its past is still relevant to some of its dominions and we are one such kid. Except we've grown up a bit and like all young adults want things we are entitled to and if you won't give it then we'll damn well get it ourselves. I wonder if the Chief Minister actually invited the Queen or did some civil servant say "Best not Chief Minister, it's not how things are done you know!" Well I want the Queen not Eddie or Andy or even Charles (though I expect him here after his coronation), it's HM or nothing. Congratulations to Her Majesty have a great Jubilee Year and by the way Easyjet do a cheap return from Gatwick if you don't fancy the trip from Windsor to Heathrow on B.A. Apologies for the less than perfect quality on the cartoon I have no scanner at the moment so it is a photo of the original x
