I haven’t forgotten My Sovereign either. I miss her with every passing year, the dignity and the serenity of HM The Queen of Malta’s visits, and the opening of parliament, and the sobriety of the Governor and the Governors-General after that. Oh Malta, how low you had to sink.

You have put my exact thoughts into writing. Thank you.

No it was not. It did not leave extra money in people`s pockets, that is why.

Well, that’s one electoral promise kept. Joseph does deliver after all!

To quote Monthy Python:

“I didn’t vote for you!” – that doesn’t apply exclusively to royalty.

The Queen, never superficial, has, once more reminded us why Great Britain was (no longer quite is, in my view) so great. Not one superfluous word, no superficial thoughts, no pomposity. Besides she looks natural.

Of course, she has been “rehearsing” for sixty years but, as the Italians so eloquently yet succinctly put it, “la classe non è acqua”.

Let us compare the queen to our own dear Prime Minister. I hate that rock guitar. With a passion. I feel it is totally out of place.

I may be very traditional but I do not like these combinations.

Furthermore, he does not even speak pleasantly. I find myself incapable of listening to him. It may be his diction, his tone of voice, his gestures but I find all of this most off-putting.

I will never understand what people see in him. I see a quack and a fraud whose personal ambitions have been taken out of a schoolyard and transposed into national politics.
