Obviously its the Jubilee bank holiday today and Friday I am at work .I am not a royalist either ram I anti royal she the queen would do more for the homeless people living rough on the street of London specially an ex forces but she seems to turn a blind eye I think that is a major let down on her Jubilee you think she would do more the common folk rather than making people Sirs and Dames .I cant see 70 years on the throne ever being beaten so glad Charles won't have that long to reign .
