I've been singing WHHTUHA for years now and think it a rare old hoot. Royalty have been abusing one another for centuries thus providing the principle entertainment of we peasantry of Olde England. God knows they must of some use: English Royalty - the longest running soap opera of them all; it's the Reality Drama & Celebrity Myth upon which our culture is founded. In such things we find such a delightful hoary and gruesome resonance by way of a cultural catharsis one might even deem essential.

There may be no future in England's Dreaming - but there is a past, and one might take very real comfort from the fact that no-one is laughing at the true horrors of history, no matter how remote.
