GAUCHE: THE BABY WILL BE CROWNED AS A PENSIONER

THE BABY WILL BE CROWNED AS A PENSIONER

Now, I hate to do this but … the royal baby is rather a long way distant as king or queen unless the proverbial bus does its business.

The new baby is third-in-line to the throne, after his great grandma, his granddad and his daddy.

This lot have got to die first:

HM the Q (1926-)

Prince Charles (1948-)

Prince William (1982-)

Now, given the longevity of the royal family and the quality of their private health care, it’s not mad to suggest that Prince William will die in 2083. That means that the sprog accedes to the throne at the age of 70 and rules at the end of the 21st century. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Why not put this nonsense to sleep?

No comments:

'Moscow Gold? The Soviet Union and the British left by Paul Anderson and Kevin Davey is a fine little book you can read in a day. Anderson and Davey have taken advantage of the vast amount of research into communism since the end of the cold war. They wear it lightly, and refreshingly, are open about their political position. As members of the democratic left, they believe that communism was a disaster for left wing politics. It tied the left to tyranny and the lies and disillusion that went with it.'

COMMENTS POLICY

Comments are welcome, but I'm the editor, and I decide what is published. No comments will be published unless I think them worth publishing. Comments submitted anonymously or pseudonymously will be deleted unless I know the author's identity. Anything I consider racist, fatuous, boring, unoriginal, cretinous, abusive, cynical, otiose, weakly argued or irrelevant will not be published. In other words, this blog is edited for comments just like an old-fashioned newspaper letters page. If you want your comments published, they have to be succinct, well argued, grammatical and relevant. And they compete for publication with other comments. If you don't like it, you can go elsewhere.
