And maybe times have changed. Canada isn't next door. Big difference if the folks in the next state ain't paying their taxes vs your next door neighbor. England doesn't want to give Wales or Northern Ireland any ideas.

How are the Brits reacting to the coronation?
Seems that it would be tone-deaf to have a huge ceremony, or is that exactly what they're going for?

Money is no problem when it comes to the Royal Family, Bankers, or War.

But Public Sector workers looking a decent parish? Well the cupboard is bare.
