Although I don't like them it was a bit out of order that Brown and Blair were not invited.
An insult to Labour voters?

Especially in view of the fact that Blair saved the Royals' arses after Diana's death.

Good point, and they often seemed to be going out of their way to kiss some Royal arse as well. Maybe there is a point to this, i.e. loyalty and obedience doesn't always guarantee that you are going to be looked after. My theory for what it is worth; basically Bliar reluctantly brought in the Hunting with Dogs Act 2005, Brown in a last bid attempt for power reminded the electorate that they brought in legislation which restricted the barbaric practice of fox hunting. The Royal blood junkies never forgave Labour for that, after all its their right to chase an animal all day long and have a pack of hounds tear it to pieces, get’s them right in the mood for fucking one of their relatives don’t you know

Politicians are only invited to Royal Weddings if:

a.) They are the serving Prime Minister or in the current Cabinet.
b.) They are a Knight Of The Garter
c.) They are invited as a personal friend of the couple.

Blair and Brown came under 'none of the above'.

[Jake]

I'm assuming you are right of course Rockula, nonetheless some fuss was made over the fact the Jim Callaghan and Harold Wilson were both invited to Charles and Di's wedding, I don't know which category they would have come under. Where does that leave Margaret Thatcher and John Major who were invited? Best fucking mates presumably?

They are both Knights of the Garter and John Major was executor of Diana's will.

OK thank you for a civilised reply, apart from both liking the stranglers we are getting somewhere

"Brainwashed masses fit for fodder"

Because a majority apparently agree with something it doesn't automatically make them/it right! I mean apparently the majority accepted Hitler, does that mean that anyone who dissented against the nazi's was a waste of space

You will have to define the 'majority' here Jake

I would say the majority didn't agree with Hitler

Not in Germany but the plebiscite in Austria for the anschluss was something like 98% approval.

[NMH1965]

Clearly I was referring to the people who physically stood up that regime..............far outnumbered the German and Austrian population

I will have to get back to you on this and just give you a quick reply (there is something I want to watch on Channel 4 right now)........

Well it's difficult to know really, but Hitler's party did get a sizeable share of the vote in the 1931 (I think) elections, he didn't have a mandate to govern but found a way round it ,hmmmmm

I think it's also worth considering why a 'minority' is not important when it comes to taking their views into consideration and how do we define a minority, especially when the all powerful media go out of their way to define who is the 'majority' and who is the 'minority'

Well you watch what you need to watch on Channel 4, don't really care if you get back or not

I think the word 'minortiy'............the clue is in the word so I have no need to define it.

I think that the problem with people who like to associate themselves with minorities, assume that their views haven't been taken in to consideration as a an excuse to justify why these views haven't been adopted

Personally I make my own views on what is important in life to me, and not the medias.

And here NMH 1965 provides a perfect example of one of those millions of people in this country (to whom I eluded earlier) who is not one of the so called "brainwashed masses" but a normal person making intelligent decisions and critical comment through balanced assesment of information from a number of sources and personal experience. Jake, you should try to shake off this blinkered view that anyone who isn't ranting about how awful the government and royal family is must be a Neo Nazi who's sole source of information is the pages of the Daily Mail or is too stupid to understand what goes on.
