In 2012, as every Londoner knows we'll be hosting the over-budget, massively expensive Olympics. All the preparations are underway, we're pouring money down the drain on building plans, meetings, some mroe meetings, some diary work, and then another meeting where the figures get reworked and a few billions is stolen from the Lottery and the Arts.This is all by the by though, as there is another important event in 2012. It will be the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, a pretty significant event in the history of any Monarch really. To reign 60 years will make her the second longest British monarch in the history of the country, only 3 years short of Victoria's reign.
So what celebration will there be for this event? Crowds on Pall Mall like the Golden Jubilee? Bryan May on the top of Buckingham Palace again? Unlikely according the Government it seems. Culture Minister, David Lammy, "there are no plans to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012."
Why not I wonder? Are they keeping their fingers crossed she'll be dead or something to save some cash?

with any luck come 2012 David lammy and the rest of this rotten bunch of missfits we call a govenment will be long gone..
I think If our maj started to do a little backstabbing on this crap lot via which ever way ,they wouldn't last ,we aren't a republic yet and as far as I am concerned will be one of the first at the barracades ,this rubbish just get my goat.
because if blair ever signs the new European treaty, there wont be a need for a queen by 2012.
Exiled to Fiji or some such place to reign over her commonwealth.
Just have a joint party at the opening ceremony. Problem solved.
