Despite the messy preparation, the wedding itself was another bad day for the bitter, envious, sour-faced abolitionists who are still as far away as ever from getting what they want.
I see that the royal wedding free zone has turned into the thread wedding epilogue thread. While I really like that she's not whiter than white - my daughter is mixed race - I was hoping for something less opulent and all pervasive.
I'm not even an abolitionist: other northern European countries have demonstrated that monarchies can be highly adaptable, highly successful with no democratic deficit compared with most republican nations, without the royal family being symbols of indecent equality. My issue, as the UK hiccups its way to ever greater inequality, is that scaling the royal family down to, say, Danish size, would not take anything from the importance of the royalty thing but would help in establishing a more egalitarian nation.
Not even an abolitionist and I still get nothing near what I want....
