Well, that was some Platinum Jubilee.
The Queen delighting revellers by making another Buckingham Palace balcony appearance sealed four days of celebrations for many if not quite all Britons.
When the UK has fewer Bank Holidays than most comparable companies with only a miserable eight in England and Wales, the case for a ninth in her memory is unanswerable.
Yesterday’s story of Britain during her life was fun and eccentric, perfectly capturing the spirit our nation.
Everybody marked it in their own way and we must honour the millions who worked so others could enjoy days off whether by staying home, going down the pub, shopping or attending a street party.
The first Platinum Jubilee in history is highly unlikely to be repeated in any of our lifetimes which is why an Elizabeth Bank Holiday every June would be well deserved.
Boot him out
Slipperier than any fish and concerned only about himself, Boris Johnson must be booted out of Downing Street because the liar will never quit.
Tribal and spineless Conservative MPs who defend and protect the most dishonest PM in living memory are as bad as him and share the condemnation heaped on a chancer who puts himself before party and country.
The fools who justify Johnson are as deluded as the mob behind American monster Donald Trump. They will go down in history as nasty scoundrels.
Flightmare
If there is one thing worse than finding your holiday flight cancelled, it must be that the return home is scrapped - leaving you stranded in a foreign country.
Airlines and travel companies selling trips they aren’t delivering is a scandal.
The government has a duty to force them to start delivering the goods immediately and if they don’t it must increase financial penalties to punitive levels.
