Girls Equal...

Somebody get this man a medal. I don't think much more is needed to say.

I'm glad to see Mr. Cameron and Mr. Clegg (both of whom did not win an election, nor have any mandate to tinker with the constitution) are focusing on male and female succession to the Crown and homosexual marriage which of course are such pressing issues to us all.

Meanwhile in the real world the Eurozone is in meltdown, the onslaught of Brussels power grabs continue onwards, our education system is rotten, our public services are bankrupt, our civil liberties are fast disappearing, immigration remains uncontrolled, our justice system is a joke and our national debt is rapidly increasing upwards while the Bank of England continues to destroy the Pound Sterling through 'quantative easing' (printing money out of thin air).

True I suppose, but most people of my generation couldn't tell you a single thing about the Royal Family in England. As time progresses over here the significance of the monarch seems to diminish (for instance, when there was a Royal Wedding and they came to Canada there was protests about us even being involved and paying for the Royal Family).

Edit: to prove we're clueless about such affairs I've probably made a million grammar mistakes above capitalizing the wrong things!

Education has been devalued greatly here also I can tell you, the young can name the X Factor judges but couldn't point out Spain on a map.

The lift on catholics needs to be underlined properly otherwise our royal family won't be allowed their succession.

Lifting the Catholic ban would be a step too far, the Monarch is de facto Head of the Church of England.

That's interesting cos in our media, the canadians were practically loving every second of it and those who were protesting were a minority. I'm not saying our media is right and yours is wrong or vice versa but perhaps the truth is nearer to the middle of the two.

As for the issue of the thread, I agree, a step in the right direction.
