re: #390 yma o hyd

Dunno - its a bit over a week. She could certainly go at the drop of a hat and sod the protocol, but will the Fwench let her? Security and all that, see …

The main fault lies with Gord, his government should have worked ahrd for this - but he and his henchmen said it wasn’t a real jubilee, 65 years, and nobody would go. And no funding for the vets either …

But once he heard that FCBBHO was coming - they pulled all the stops out - for Gord, not for the vets and certainly not for the Queen.
Bastards!

To be fair, the version I was reading in the Brit press last night was the opposite—said that S wanted to hog the spotlight and Obama to himself, and that GB’s office (possibly?) dropped the ball about pushing for an invite.
