The Queens Crown Travelled to Houses of Parliament in its own car. Is this correct in 2017?
For once I am speechless. This is 2017. What springs to mind is the senseless waste of public money. The pure daftness of the idea. Just why?
The crown travelled in a car with its own security escort.
As imagined many folks had things to say on Twitter. Including myself. To summarise views. Medieval nonsense and grotesque display of wealth that might be regarded as highly insensitive in current times.
The tweet that wins the prize though is this
”Queen’s Speech: where you hear about prioritisation of mental health services, then watch as a crown gets taken away in its own car”
But why was she not wearing her crown fir the first time in 43 years for the Queens Speech? The event came too close to the Trooping of the colour to allow sufficient practice and rehearsal. But not to worry. The crown was within eyesight of the queen to her right.
Because she know May has messed up. On so may levels.
