To watch, or not to watch, that is the question. Are you watching?
Kate, now The Duchess of Cambridge. Why Cambridge, the place where I spent most of my time in the UK?

回复 #5 gzPippa Middleton's perfect bum !
THE first rule of being a bridesmaid is don't overshadow the bride - but Pippa Middleton and her bottom came dangerously close to doing just that.
The younger sister of the newly-minted Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, drew gasps from the crowds in London - and from billions of TV viewers around the world - when she arrived at Westminster Abbey in a figure-hugging white dress.
The view of Pippa Middleton's bum behind as she carried her sister's wedding train inspired dozens of fan sites.
One Facebook page devoted to her derriere, the Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation Society, already has 24,000 fans. while fashion blog Fashionista.com published an article entitled In Praise Of Pippa (Especially Her Bum).
Twitter was buzzing with similar peons to Pippa's bottom. They ranged from @iamToddyTickles: "Pippa Middleton, best body at the wedding other than David Beckham" and @RyanReport: "If you are honest and lead a good life and help other people, you might be reincarnated as Pippa Middleton’s nylons" to the blunt @susiebubble: "It has to be said…. I’m a tad jels over the pertness of Pip Middleton's arse."

出于好奇,问了一个剑桥的熟人: BTW, how do people in Cambridge like their new "Duchess of Cambridge"?
几个钟头后她回答说: We all are really happy to have our new “Duchess of Cambridge” and in fact the whole world was hooked to the royal wedding yesterday.
还有个朋友说,英国王孙结婚,全世界十多亿人看电视,那是人家的软实力! - posted on 05/02/2011

笑死。昔日的日不落帝国,国防预算砍成现今这个样子,领事馆没有钱关闭,还软实力哪。你倒说说这英王室婚礼,向全世界传播了英国的什么文化?还不如麦当劳好莱坞呢。
我就看了两眼照片,这当年的英俊王子,现在谢顶的速度,简直就是一日不见,如三秋落叶。 - Re: RE: RE: Royal Wedding, to watch, or not to watch, that is the questionposted on 05/02/2011
没有了硬实力,才显出软实力嘛。
王子公主什么的就剩下他们家还有点人气了,寄托了全世界多少人对童话故事的神往啊。
二王子还有点稚气未脱的孩子气。穿着那身死板的制服显得有点不自在。 - posted on 05/02/2011
这才是非常讽刺的:68 year old Chris Knight, his 60 year old partner Camilla Power and 45 year old Patrick Macroidan from the movement ‘Government of the Dead’ were arrested at home before any crime or perceivable crime had taken place.
The justification for the arrest was cited as for conspiracy to commit breach of the peace and commit a public nuisance.
In other words they might upset one of the largest pieces of royalist propaganda ever undertaken in Britain.
But the arrest leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth of any decent Brit who watches this the video (below) of the arrest and I would urge any of the policemen involved to do some serious soul searching regarding the arrest…..they have made themselves look like fools, or worse.
At what point will the police question the fact that they no longer serve the British people? We need the police to be accountable to the people of Britain and not the crown and the state.
Many would argue that the real criminals were inside Westminster Abbey not outside.
Then of course there was the ridiculous arrest of the much loved Charlie Veitch from The Love Police.
Charlie was also arrested at home and bundled away, with his family and solicitors unaware of his exact whereabouts during his incarceration.
Veitch is one of the most original campaigners of the 21st century who uses love, sarcasm and irony to get his message across armed with the most terrifying of weapons……the megaphone.
All this in a day which cost the country so much money that it would have paid for the tuition fees of students for years to come.
As I write this I am fully aware of how ludicrous all this sounds yet it is the truth and this is the Britain we live in today but it is beginning to look as if human rights have taken a severe knocking to allow the royal wedding to proceed with a police-force serving the interests of the crown above the interests of the British people who have a right to say NO in a peaceful manner to the royal wedding.
Think about it long and hard, on the 29th April 2011 the right to peaceful protest was sacrificed at the altar of ensuring a smooth running royal wedding. These videos below show that the protesters that were arrested were not violent. So why were they arrested? To protect them from a public backlash perhaps? But other groups that have openly espoused violence against the state and its subjects have had their rights to protest protected by this very state. But of course there was no fairytale royal wedding at the time was there?
Bear this in mind. No-one has any rights in the UK, they have occasional access to some freedoms – when the state allows it.
