Those of you who are familiar with my rants about, and ridicule of members of our so-called “Royal Family” might guess that I would have something to say about the respect being shown by certain members of the British public to the lady I always referred to as “er Maj”, for I have never understood why her ‘fantasy land’ family, who symbolise arrogance and elitism, still receive bows, curtseys and, dare I say, worship from people who live in the “real world”, and who are now turning out in their thousands to pay their “respects” to the late Queen.
However, I’m sorry to say that .. taking ‘selfies’ (by the thousand) .. clapping and cheering .. throwing flowers .. wearing silly T shirts etc. .. and pushing bewildered young children in front of the TV cameras .. is , in my opinion, not showing respect, but showing …
… “the very opposite”!
