Well people, it's eve of!
Is Britain a police state? Well the answer would appear to be " yes " when royal weddings happen. The Police have warned the organisation called Republic ( a pressure group that campaigns , very quietly it must be said, for an elected head of state ) that " any demonstration will be dealt with ROBUSTLY ( code for getting your head caved in by boots/truncheons or whatever ).
Next, the guest list. If ever there was any doubt about the " impartiality " of the royals, out of the last 4 Prime Ministers of the country, the 2 Conservative ones, Thatcher and Major, were invited ( for our non-Brit members, the Conservatives are regarded as the most right-wing party of the 3 major parties ) whereas the 2 Labour ones, Blair and Brown ( for our non-Brit members, Labour is supposedly the left-wing party, although it's not actually ) were not.
So, my wish is that some suicide bomber manages to blow him/herself to smithereens, taking the whole royal shebang along with them.
An alternative scenario that would have met with my approval would have been Thatcher attending ( she's too ill apparently to be there ), going into her death throes just as the pair were at the alter and knocking the whole event into utter confusion....whether to celebrate the marriage or ( from the establishment perspective ) mourn the death of the old witch.
I'm probably left just trusting the god old British weather to spoil the show!

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
