Excellent post.

The canker of this Nanny State, like cancer itself, has no regard for boundaries.

Isn’t it fantastic, apparently we’d prefer to be filmed being mugged, rather than have someone step in and help us. I feel so much safer now they photograph my every move . . . .

Well done, Anna. A lot of effort on your part shames those of us who were there in spirit only.

Glad all was well.

A la prochaine!

Oh Gosh, I needed Google to try and find out what’s so special about Anna making this trip on November 5 … And then I saw Glo’s post.

She wouldn’t, I mean she really wouldn’t, would she … ?!
Am checking the newspapers now

Good night

I can barely type as I am somewhat fitshaced. Lovely to meet you all the same.

Met a VC winner today. Worth it in itself.

Keep up the stellar work.
Your appearance is as almost as powerful as your writing.

Good luck and god bless.

Christ I’m drunk.

And it was very nice to meet you this afternoon too, Anna.

Hope your journey home was without incident.

I wish I could have made it, dammit.

And I wouldn’t have needed no fancy Eurostar, either. I’m only about a mile from where you’re all quaffing ales and laughing heartily.

Dammit.

I am with you in spirit, and I am sure the original Tom is too. I have one of those N0. 10 doorstep pictures, from when I was 11, and it was not long enough to be in sepia either. If our leaders were not so fortified from us, they might not be so completely out of touch.

Fine post. Hope you are having a great day. I’m thinking about you all enjoying the Autumn sunshine and going about your business as one does in a free society.

hope the stroll proves to be just that :0)

however, the incline may resemble that of another fine british icon, the titanic!

You’ve chosen 5th November to do this?

Nice one, Anna, nice one………..

Lots of different people need to shoulder some of the responsibility for this. Educationalists who allowed kids to forget that conventions are there for a reason. Globalists who sold them a million distractions. Politicians who assured them everything was alright really. And the Murdochised media-set who showed them it was cool to be cruel.

But the real culprits are all of us who merrily supported the post-1963 bollocks about everybody being nice, or ridiculous, or not that bad really – and above all, welcome to their role in rhe pantheon of power. From this rotted manure sprang Mandelson, Miliband, Blair, Harman, Cameron, Major, Thatcher, Clarke, and 369 plumb-bonkers MPs whose sole excuse for fiddling expenses was that zey vair onnly obeyink orders.

I thought this piece captured the sad state of a dying empire rather well.
