| Back to the old royal media routine - an orgy of gushing speculation

The constant media hype will no doubt push a few over the edge. However they will probably sell more chocolates and collection mugs. Imo more important agendas like the economy and loss of jobs, rather than some rich types bathing in the limelight. |

This
It disgusts me that people will be losing their jobs at the same time that the horse-faces will be spending lavish amounts of money on a bloody wedding.
Can't help but wonder if Simple Dave Cameron has offered them a sweetener to try and distract the masses from the problems we will face this time next year. |

| I wonder how much it will cost taxpayers to pay for these parasites to get married. Tell Kate's dad that tradition demands he foot the bill. |

| "David Cameron was said to have banged the Cabinet table in sheer molten joy, which made me want to assassinate him, and Ed Miliband – who's such a romantic that he couldn't be arsed to put his name on his son's birth certificate – sounded as though he was trying out for a cushy billet at Mills & Boon. Mills & Band, he could call his political sub-genre."
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/julie-burchill/julie-burchill-for-kates-sake-lets-hope-her-prince-is-nothing-like-his-dad-2136108.html
"Kate is fantastically well-groomed and gorgeously put-together; if only she'd aimed a little higher, she'd have made a top-flight air stewardess. Interestingly, considering her reputation for passivity, she appears to be an equal, at least, in the relationship. He said they had "a really good laugh"; when asked if she had really had a poster of the Prince on her bedroom wall at university, she answered: "He wishes! No, it was the Levi's guy."
and ..........
"I just can't help believing is essentially marrying beneath her by throwing in her lot with the weirdest clan this side of the Addams Family)."

I went down to London a couple of weeks ago .... amazing ... they were /are spending billions of taxpayers money on widening the M25, building the Olympic Stadium, a new Wembley Stadium, St Pancras fast rail link upgrade (at about £9 billion which was also promised to the regions, but never materialised), parades and events throughout London (State & Public), the list and spending continues at an enormous rate.
Come back up here, especially Liverpool and that Capital of Culture stuff - ok a few £million but that's your lot for the next decade, century? It's all bollocks, we're hemorrhaging jobs up here and there's sfa in terms of real development. We've lost our industries and are a service community. Even towns look the same now with masses of concrete and corporate logos' of high street stores. I really hope that Lairds et al. can bring in some contracts & jobs and we can develop new technologies just to compete in the open market. London & the South is basking in this latest luvey stuff while the regions are being shafted.

| Kate's a middle-class millionairess ya know. Next the media will be trying to fob people off that she's from the working classes. Poor girl, had to work every day of her life since the age of 13. Almost ophaned through poverty. Her parents couldn't afford the public school fees and almost had to resort to pimping her out. The girl came good |

| I confess I am interested, interested to know if it's going to be a bank holiday or if they're getting spliced on a Saturday. Oh, and she'd get a game too. _________________ The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves, and wiser people are full of doubts

| I think it matters. It's being talked about all over the world. Good for the promotion of Britain. |

A coded message no doubt = a privileged few, the media, merchandise sellers & some Londoners.
Hurrah, Hurrah.
