God Save the Queen
One of the few things you can rely on in life has been the dedication of Her Majesty the Queen.
For 60 years on the throne she has been an instrument of blessing to all her peoples.
I hope and pray she will remain on the throne for many more years.
The contrast with the current crop of self serving politicians and self appointed spokespeople and peoples champions could not be more stark.

Roll up roll up for the great Lib Dem hypocrisy feast !
The Lib Dems are hated by all the other parties, but not for their politics ( though much of that is objectionable ). No the Lib Dems are hated for their hypocrisy.
Chris Huhne is the high priest of nasty the nasty cult of Lib Demery.
So the cheer from the whole country when he was charged with lying is still echoing around the drinking holes of Westminster.
All cheer but one - Nick Clegg.
Cleggy hates Huhne, but is scared witless by him. Hence we have more L:ib Dem hypocrisy as Clegg claims he can't wait to get Huhne back in the cabinet. ( Maybe Clegg should do 5 years for that porkie himself ).
This is just going to get better and better - for all those who aren't paid up members of the Janus Party.

The lynching of Fred Goodwin
He committed no crime and was not disbarred as a director. Many have done worse than him.
Yes he's a disgrace, but then so are most of the current shadow cabinet who shared in Capt. Brown streaming on the UK onto the rocks ( though Capt. Brown has disappeared - gone in an early life boat to follow Blair onto the cash making circuit ).
This is all backfiring a little on #RedEd, but then he's just leader of the opposition and no one expects him to be grown up anyway.
This looks worse for David Cameron who is shown throwing a body to the pursuing wolves in the hope of saving his own popularity.
The press may have enjoyed the lynching, but the mob has got the taste for blood now and will want feeding again soon.
Update: Goodwin backlash: no need for Westminster lynch mob

Dan is right on the money - as he often is
There are various articles in the press attacking the weak weak weak coalition government and its gutless surrender to self defeating socialist envy.
So far I like this from Dan Hannan the best ... recommended reading.

The UK must not lose another refinery
Despite all the anger and outrage you see the BBC whip up on petrol forecourt refining has been in decline in the UK for some time. The reasons are:
- Poor margins ( yes really ) - remember refiners have to buy their oil before they sell the products.
- Fear of environmental sanctions - large multinationals are afraid on the levels that career politicians will go to for a few extra votes in pursuing what the general public continues to mistakenly believe are all powerful oil majors.
- Improved efficiency - we can produce more with less equipment - so some refineries have dropped out naturally - the least efficient ones ( this is capitalism working well ).
- Competition from Europe and soon the middle east - the Saudis and others are keen to export products rather than crude. They also need jobs for their exploding populations ( no pun intended ). - imagine the day that the gulf cooperation council announces petrol sanctions against the UK, because that day is potentially coming soon.
- Denial, possibly including something about global warming and biofuels being the future.
- Press campaign "do something".
- Half baked announcements and calling industry leaders into the dept of climate fairy dreams and/ or Industry.
- Cameron takes over from Lib Dem no hopers. COBRA convened - immediate action announced (what is unimportant).
- BP take over Coryton again for a temporary time on behalf of the govt.
