RIP Your Majesty.

Hopefully we wil - but I'm not holding my breath while waiting for it to happen. The following is no reflection on the new cabinet, as of yet I haven't really looked at its composition, but sometimes i think equality of sexes and colours can go a bit too far. What do either of those matter if you are the right person for the job and work well in the team? I wouldn't like to be the employer who turns away a competent, prospective co-worker on my team just because they happened to have the wrong sex or colour needed to maintain the 'correct' balance in the workforce.

With the greatest sadness it would seem that we've just entered the New Carolean Era. That doesn't seem to have the ring of being New Elizabethans - but, as always, we must work with what we've got!

Yes it would have been nice but as you say maybe another time, we are getting around lots and meeting many of our old friends and relatives, old haunts, schools, dwellings, love the ocean and beaches etc

Now isn't it strange that even the BBC news mentioned that there were no white males. Many in this world has spent years protesting that women and blacks should be on an equal footing as the white male. I would even say , in my opinion, the BBC that broadcasts all over the world have been attempting to have black, white and women on the same level as the white male. I was amazed that when they were broadcasting from outside 10 Downing Street when watching to see who Liz brought into the cabinet Nick Eardley ( the Stanley Baxter look alike ) stated that there were no white males. Does this mean that the tables are now reversed and the white males can now start claiming they are being discriminated against. and can start protest meetings and marches asking for equality? Will we ever get the point where no matter what sex or colour, no matter what the balance is, everyone will treat everyone else as equal and just get on with it
