State Opening of Parliament 2014

I finally had a chance to watch yesterday's magnificent State Opening of Parliament and Queen's Speech starring the peerless Queen Elizabeth II, wistfully wishing the United Kingdom were my country. Perhaps the page boy who fainted is a staunch supporter of the restoration of the Iranian monarchy and was therefore horrified by the idea of a nuclear agreement with [the Islamic Republic of] Iran.

This is the finest pageantry in the world. There's a disgusting article in The Economist calling the ceremony an "international embarrassment." Anyone who could write that has no heart. The Economist is the embarrassment!

Why do people laugh at the traitor Dennis Skinner's so-called "jokes" every year? He's not funny.
