^^ Nice, bastards,
Noel Coward was a charmer.
As a writer he was brahma.
Velvet jackets and pyjamas,
"the gay divorce" and other dramas.
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Van Gough did some eyeball pleasers.
He must have been a pencil squeezer.
He didn't do the Mona Lisa,
That was an Italian geezer.
Ian Dury.
Don't really remember where I got these pics from:

To bad the artists/companies didn't offer a package deal on the royal sick bag, the Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction and The Gribsby Plate(NOT SAFE FOR WORK).
For those who can't or don't want to see the entire plate image here is a sneak peek. I don't know if I am allowed upload this sneak peek image or not so mods please do as you see fit regarding appropriate view-ability.

Likewise, I believe the numbers for street party applications were;
London 800
Edinburgh 20
Glasgow 0
However, with the lack of anything formally organised by the council and in the spirit of Dave Cameron's Big Society (don't wait for the council, do it yourself), the residents of Glasgow organised their own piss up in the park, at which 6,000 people turned up. I believe the police, rather than let the party disperse naturally when they ran out of drink, tried to help things along. Silly bobbies.
A "Breach Of Disgrace"?
Is that on the books over there?
I agree. Keep them contained, and let them exhaust themselves.

Congrats to the Glasgow massive,people were running a book on where the police would riot,Stokes Croft was a dead cert,but Glasgow a rank outsider beat off the challenge of much backed Brighton.Brixton,Liverpool 8 (Toxteth) and Manchester being backed at short odds to be that next hotspots.
(the situation in Brighton is that protestors were outnumbered by police and sensibly left it for another day,nearly all the London Fit (forward intelligence teams) were in attendance filming left right and centre).

Harry also has the same hair as his Dad.
There were over 5,000 streets closed in London for street parties. I don't have the time to look up your other cities...but seeing such a huge difference in the first one I hope you'll excuse me for doubting the others.
You're just off base.

Would you please show a source for 5000 streets closed in London as far as I'm aware that's the total for the entire country.Also don't fall for the idea that they where all pro monarchy,the ones in Scotland and Brixton for instance definitely were not.
Plenty of pro royal ones in Scotland too. 5500 is the UK wide figure - over 800 for London.
Bristol had 54 apparently. I guess that outnumbers the Tesco smashing party held by the smelly crusties.
Your not a daily torygraph reader perchance,stereotypical much? By the way what's happening in Stokes Croft/St Pauls is only peripherally about Tesco there are much more deep rooted and important issues.This is in spite of what a few hipster/bourgeois seem to be trying to spread via twitter.
"Polls have shown varying degrees of disinterest in the wedding, with four out of five in a much-quoted poll last month sponsored by an anti-monarchy group saying respondents were either indifferent or "couldn't care less."
A ComRes poll last week found that 70 per cent say they either don't care or aren't excited, though other measurements in the poll indicated that Brits still see great value in keeping the monarchy.
An ICM poll done for the respected Guardian newspaper, which takes a republican editorial position, found only 37 per cent saying they were genuinely interested in the monarchy."

...until there's a bleedin' wedding, of course, when magically it goes up into the 80% range.
and the next three paragraphs of that article?

Looks like your anarchist revolution is going to be a damp squib.
Saying the monarchy is relevant is not expressing support for it,the other two points are editorialising and mean less than nothing.
( if you don't understand why the monarchy is relevant see:

You will realise why complete lunatics like Blair and Cameron can take us into wars with no democratic backing whatsoever).

Hey, it's your source! I just thought it would be nice to quote a little bit more of it.
I am so sorry...you are correct.
BBC say that there were 5500 applications and that was for the whole kingdom.
I apologise for contradicting you in public.
Oh, I understand that very well.
But you're naive if you think that the Royal Prerogative wouldn't be replaced with a similar 'Prime Minister's prerogative' - if the monarchy were dissolved.
And whether you like Blair and the coalition or not, they were democratically elected.
