A humorous take on the royal wedding from Stewart Lee

[OwlHoot]

I'm with the 'lefties' on this one. It won't generate a penny for the economy. It will, in fact, just cost us a lot of money fawning to these outdated parasites. Our household is the best part of a grand worse off for a start.

Could that possibly be because you _are_ a leftie?

Or from your past posts, sort of like Attila the Hun saying "I'm with the righties on this one".

The alternative to 'these outdated parasites' I'm assuming is an elected president. Given the behaviour of our political class over the last few years (and beyond probably), I'm not of the opinion that there is much advantage in the anti-royalist position.

Which leaves us where exactly?

I see the Guardian are also selling anti Royal wedding souvenirs.

I think that Mr Lee and these left wing check guevara wannabes who write for that rag are just a bunch of spoilt overgrown teenagers.

A lot of people get a lot of pleasure from the Royals and tomorrows events will not only generate a lot of money for our ailing economy but it will also put us back on the map.

I'd like to see how much international interest would be generated by President Hucknall, or whatever ghastly left leaning politically active celebrity we'd end up with if these republicans got their way.

God save the Queen.

It does seem Stewart Lee disappeared up his own arse since those days.

Who's Stewart Lee...

He was the unfunny one with Richard Herring from, ooh, years ago.

[2BIT]

he's normally quite funny and I by no means like the royals but it just sounded bitter and actually quite boring - stopped reading halfway through- which I often do when celebs are given opinion columns to write

[Pondlife]

Whatever happened to Richard Herring? I used to enjoy This Morning with Richard not Judy.

He does a podcast with Andrew Collins and had a weekly show called "as it occurs to me" a last year. Think it's available as a podcast too.

That's a big chip for a small shoulder.

Who's Stewart Lee...

[Spacecadet]

Is he that squeeky-voiced frantic-paced stand up comic who sweats a lot on stage?

For all his faults (including not being very funny), I don't recall him sounding as pompous as the above.

you're thinking of Lee Evans

Like some giant illuminated penis flying over the rooftops of suburban homes and frothing at random passing women, William has pointed himself at Kate Middleton, the Susan Boyle of social mobility. In declaring her his princess, he brings hope of real change to millions of people denied a decent education and the means to better themselves, to millions of tiny babies denied even books, that one day they too could be randomly rewarded with untold wealth and privilege.
