Ah yes, 1981. The country in recession deeper than it needed to be due to monetarist control measures forced upon the oiks by the then gubbishment. An ostentatious royal wedding just to remind the oiks where the money and self-appointed power is was lavishly splashed across the media.

2011: The country will be in recession due to the extreme and unnecessary monetarist measures of the gubbishment. A right royal fling will invade every aspect of the media reminding the oiks where the money and self-appointed power remains.
Two things strike me on this theme: Conservative governments dragging the UK through deeper than necessary recessions, and rich folk rubbing the noses of the oiks in it.
We've come an awful long way as a nation in thirty years.
