THE ROYALS

Royalty? Where would we be without 'em, that's what I'd like to know. In the crap, that's where. I mean if we didn't have any Royals thousands and thousands of people would be thrown out of work, and I don't just mean Royal arsewipers. You've only got to look at flags, haven't you, all them little union jacks what people wave at the Royals when they go paying Royal Visits. I mean there'd be no need of 'em if you didn't have Royalty, would there. I mean you wouldn't get people lining the streets waving union jacks if it was Tony Blair what was doing the visiting, you might get 'em waving car jacks, or more likely throwing car jacks, you certainly wouldn't get 'em waving our national flag, not if Brian Broadside knows anything. And how much would it cost the paint industry if there were no Royals? Christ it doesn't bear thinking about, I mean everything gets painted when there's a Royal Visit, even the Royals who are doing the visiting if they don't keep on the move, why it must cost thousands, millions of pounds a year for paint, I mean think of all the paint factory workers who would be made redundant if there were no Royal Visits, and all the painters who were doing the painting. I mean you get a lot of people doing the Royals down, specially because the Royals like a bit on the side, well that's just jealousy if you ask me, from people who aren't getting a bit on the side, and anyway why shouldn't they have a bit on the side, they deserve it if you ask me, having to visit places like Hartlepool and Barnsley and have people waving little flags at them, I mean Christ the fumes from the paint must be bad enough without people wafting them at you!
