As the procession walks towards Bank from St Paul's, a distinct surge is detected in the mobile phone networks as pictures and texts about "funny men with sticks" fly to all corners of the world. Pagentry and technology meet in perfect synch.

  • Royal Chart = Protectionism,
    Usually a precursor to protectionism. The next thing is they make it a crime to do work without being a member, and thus 'qualified' where they define 'qualified'.
    All a big fat scam to substitute membership of a chartered group, for skills and qualifications.
