Mick Hall ☭ The UK MSM have been wetting themselves over the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. 

According to them the whole nation came together and joined in the celebration. 

We were told everyone loves the Queen, her family and the institution she represents, which is debatable to say the least. It's true in some big cities like London there were some large crowds but nothing special. They weren't much bigger in central London than you would get at Pop concert in Hyde Park or a fireworks display on New Years Eve. Compared to the numbers at previous jubilee's it seemed to have been a damp squib.

This was reflected in the TV news coverage when news outlets used the same footage over and again. In my local area I counted only two houses with buntings. It was much the same when I travelled further afield. Beyond one small village I haven't heard from anyone who had a street party, I'm sure there were some but they seemed thin on the ground.

Yes most people welcomed an extra Bank Holiday which wasn't surprising given the UK have less of them than our European neighbours. The majority of people went about their business much as they would on any Bank Holiday weekend. I doubt bringing the country together and joining in the jubilee celebrations crossed their minds.

    If I was a monarchist, I'd be pointing to the current UK PM as an example of why democratically electing the head of state might not be a great idea.
