We are talking about billionaires taking money from poor people, Doug. There's probably something about that in the New Testament.

We are living in very hard times for millions of people. This is not a presidential election. This is the crowning of an unelected billionaire in a ceremony that is designed by the establishment to keep the poor Brits loyal and flag-waving. Naturally, the BBC and most of the press collude. Do try to see it for what it is, and reflect on the sheer waste of that hundred million. The Yorkshire school in which my sister worked until recently is falling down round the kids' ears.

Incidentally, in real terms this bash is costing approximately double what the last coronation cost.
