Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations to HM The Queen!
"Job," Mrrzy? Y'mean, being carted around in luxurious transport paid for by someone else, having servants that do everything for you, walking up and down lines of cheery people all waving plastic flags, sitting there looking bored in services and ceremonies, reading a speech once every now and again to open parliament, reading another one from an autocue after Christmas dinner? That kind of a "job?"

The Queen and her entourage of hangers-on, aka her dysfunctional family (who we all pay for), are at the very top of the pyramid of unearned privilege. Not too far down that pyramid are the elite public schools. One of those is called Eton, many of whose pupils are taught that they are born to rule. Those pupils include David Cameron and Boris Johnson, and quite a few of the other entitled toffs that run the country. They are the products of that pyramid of entitlement. Always worth remembering.
