Just another of my irritating notes: We're having a Royalism outbreak here in our Democratic U.

Leaving aside that the current sports event is a current event, so here it is, in GD. I'm still wondering what Pink Floyd has to do with anything!1


The locale of it and the heritage of the locale being what they are, it is natural that the lines of just about everything associated with it all are to be blurred for the duration. True, even over there the actual exercise of power by Royalty is constitutionally contained, but the totems remain.



But CHEERS!1 to the notion that the worship of personal Royals be passing and only as fair as the mascots!1 (Inserting graphic of the official mascots here: )

By the bye: I totally personally worshiped Mr BEAN at the opening ceremonies and might convert to Royalism if he were it.

8. She's just facing reality that she could easily be replaced by Mr BEAN whom I personally worship

[font size=5]London 2012: Rowan Atkinson's brother criticises 'Left-wing' opening ceremony[/font]

by Richard EDEN


Rowan Atkinson's amusing turn was one of the highlights of the Olympics opening ceremony, but his brother, Rodney, is not impressed with Danny Boyle’s production.

“It had strong strands of the parochial Left,” claims Atkinson, who was annoyed by the ceremony’s “assumption that the industrial revolution was oppressive”.

He tells Mandrake: “The truth was that it emancipated us all and especially the ex-rural workers who suffered heavy labour in cold, rain and heat. They then had, by comparison, much less strenuous, mechanised lives.”

The academic adds: “Obviously, the pseudo-intellectual Left have never worked on a farm, as Rowan and I did when we were young. The Left never understand internationalism and the wealth which arises from free trade among free peoples and cultures. That is Britain’s greatest achievement.

"Their aim is supra-national, where peoples and cultures are subsumed, as they were in this ceremony, into a 'levelling’ Statist mish-mash, which inevitably leads to failure and conflict.”

It's easy to see how Oligarchies form.
