Oh, Bother


Someone had the...er...brilliant idea of inviting a man in a Winnie-the-Pooh suit to the recent birthday celebrations for Queen Elizabeth (or HRH Princess Philip of Greece and Denmark to those Jacobites in the audience). I am sure HM took things with her usual grace, but one simply wonders what made them connect men in foam costumes with royal dignity and old age.

  7. Jacobitism is for pikers. All true Anglo-obscurantists know the true kings of England are descended from Edgar III, the secret son of Edgar II Aetheling. Normans - pah!
