Watching the thousands cheering for the Queen this weekend in London and the millions around the country celebrating her platinum jubilee, I couldn’t help but wonder if the sheeple had completely forgotten the past two years as if it was just a bad dream, and it would all go away.

I had this feeling that it was all a shiny distraction, to keep people from waking up.

Cromwell had the right idea. American affection for British royalty continues to amuse and astound me. And I am English by heritage.

Yes, it is amusing. Childish in many ways.

I fully understand the reverence of the older generation who lived through the war.

The Queen was an important national figurehead in those days.

Nowadays, they are just too out of touch to be relevant.

Especially that pompous fool Charles.

I still like William and Kate though.

All of the others can just sod off.
