Where's the bucket?

Brace yourself. This isn't going to go away for a while.

Stop thinking everyone.

Time has come to switch off those cogs and no longer ask questions about those petty old things: employment prospects, cuts, tax and education. What do all those quibbles matter when placed in front of such a Royal display of austerity?

BBC News yesterday already paved the way: 45 minutes of non-news about Prince William tying the knot and not a word on the recent debates on cuts, tuition fees and the rest.

The tabloids have gone into spasm. The Sun and the Daily Mail are talking about nothing else, with bits about the royals currently taking over all top news items on each website.

Again, in fairness, talking about scroungers is what they do best.
