It certainly is.


Yesterday morning, I was feeling little blue. The cold weather. The short days. The uncertainty of a future in this modern world of ours - with all its changes and challenges.


But the amazing news that our heavily-balding king-in-waiting has successfully inseminated his missus has really lifted me out of the doldrums. Today, I want to dance with a stranger in the street. To laugh, hug and cry all at the same time. Thank you, William and Kate. Thank you.

Good for you, I hope that all pans out for you.

Everyone has suspected that the royal gloves have been off for some time now. And (coming from such good stock) it can come as no surprise that these most royal of family jewels have struck ovum gold in record time.


That said, we should all try to remember that - putting aside the Bentleys, ermine, received pronunciation and bodyguards - the beating heart of this story is simply that of a young couple in love, doing what young couples in love do best.

I wonder how many people have been present the same time as Prince William at any venue.

I have been at many, he just is one of those there expecting no special attention.

He has been from birth groomed to be King, had to serve in the forces, so has a good idea of what goes on.

Having experiance of those Elected to high office of non qualified persons, ( Boris comes to mind ) who would be the better choice?

The new child will again have its future set out for it from now on, very little choice of what it wants.

Would you like to have your entire future programmed for your life.

I hope that the new baby will have a long and healthy life and become loved by those who will be under its protection.

"I wonder how many people have been present the same time as Prince William at any venue."


He drinks in the Prince Arthur, Shorty. Just his little joke, obvs. That's why they had to put up the anti-drugs leaflets in the windows recently, in case Guy Pelly's crowd turned up and started in on the nose powder in the VIP area (pool table).

I can see your point computed but the royals have a choice once they reach adulthood. They don't have to take the throne, can abdicate etc. But given that everything is an accident of birth, I judge the monarch and cohorts by what they do rather than what they have. I personally would be bored by a life of diplomatic excursions (which is essentially what the Queen's life entails).

Bringing the future monarch into the world sounds like it is going to be jolly hard work for La Duchesse and probably not what she signed up for. There would always be the possibility she could have the same thing again so wonder how keen she would be to pop out another one.


I have no fondness for them, but I cannot understand the media city camped outside the hospital for someone who is going through. I really think it the should be banned from being there. It's incredibly intrusive when you aren't feeling well.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
