Anarchy in the UK.p

[Mindful]

With the Platinum Jubilee upon us, it’s Anarchy In The UK all over again, just as it was 45 years ago when the Sex Pistols gatecrashed the Queen’s quarter-century celebrations.

But it’s not the punks this time, it’s the public sector unions gobbing in our faces.

Back in the 1970s, Britain was an economic basket case struggling to recover from an enforced three-day working week because of power cuts caused by industrial militancy.


Oh, and the icing on the cake is that, despite railway companies making huge losses, the unions are threatening a summer of strikes in support of higher wages. They’ve already announced plans to disrupt the Platinum Jubilee party by shutting Green Park and Euston Underground stations over a confected ‘bullying’ dispute.

God Save The Quee-eeen!

Some mornings, after listening to the latest news, I keep thinking I’ve woken up in the late 1970s. Bring on the Winter of Discontent. Nothing works properly any more. You can’t get a passport or driving licence for love nor money. The airports are a disaster area. No public body, or private corporation for that matter, bothers answering the phone.

During the strike-happy Winter of Discontent, there was outrage when household rubbish went uncollected for weeks.

Today, not emptying the bins every week is official policy, part of the fashionable ‘green’ agenda.

We keep being told the NHS is the envy of the world. Maybe it was once, but no longer.

Same goes for the Old Bill. We used to believe that we had the best police force on the planet. Today, they make the Keystone Cops look competent.

Wherever you look, the country appears to be coming apart at the seams

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Public services are unravelling horribly and yet politicians are either powerless or unwilling to do anything about it.

^As we prepare to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee, there’s a Last Days of Pompeii vibe in the air. A curious mixture of decadence and decay.

We’ve even been warned to watch out for a Biblical deluge of blood red rain this weekend.

And standby for the looming monkeypox lockdown.

God save the Queen? Heaven help us all. We are going to hell in a handcart.

When I saw them all loudly and intently booing what I wondered was why they were doing it. This is what the Independent thinks

This is why Liverpool fans boo the national anthem and this is what would stop it

The booing is a cry for justice, for equality, a howl against hunger and poverty. It is depressing that so many in Britain cannot hear that

It’s to do with the Hillsborough football stadium disaster.

I don't get why they were booing the National Anthem for that. Can you explain? Do they always do it? Did the royals have something to do with all the not right investigations?

It’s not specifically against the Royal Family.

More the establishment.

So that would make what the Independent said as well 'The booing is a cry for justice, for equality, a howl against hunger and poverty. It is depressing that so many in Britain cannot hear that'. Do Liverpool do this sort of thing regularly because there must have been some reason they all felt good booing the National Anthem or there must be a lot of general talk in Liverpool which promoted it and which everyone knew was the thing to do.. If it is that it suggests people are getting well fed up!

The labour has to call in reinforcements to create as much distraction as possible now that CurryGate is gonna prove they are a bunch of hypocrites. Bad news is good news at this point. Anything to keep Keir off the headlines.
