    I did try to watch but I switched on just as thon preacher man was bellowing questions at the congregation and found it so embarrassing I had to switch off.

    The genius of our monarchy is how adeptly they can shape-shift to fit the zeitgeist and secure another fifty years of leeching rights.

    I remain convinced that is woman this going to be a whole bunch of trouble for the firm. Let's hope so.

    At one point, apparently, the bloody man mentioned 'sexual union'. At a marriage! In front of The Queen! I was furious.

    Good God! Really? I’d assumed only an American would be capable of such a solecism.

    What on earth has become of the C of E? ‘Sexual onion’, indeed.

    The Times went on about how he had taken the wedding by storm, he was the highlight of the service etc etc etc

    I then watched his sermon only to see endless smirks and grins from the audience and in some cases outright embarrassment. Liz and Phil looked aghast.

    Soft bigotry of low expectations, innit. If a white priest had come out with that drivel, he’d have been castigated. Essentially, what yer progressives are saying they is ‘Yeah, but they love all that, dont they, the darkies. Bless’.

    Yes, there's that angle as well as the 'had they come out and said it was sh1t and cringe worthy they would have been accused of racism' angle.

    Not to mention the desire to confirm - yet again - that they couldn't possibly be racist by telling everyone how wonderful it was.

    One of those appalling pastor types debated Stephen Fry and Jordan Peterson on Friday on the relative merits of political correctness.

    Whether it's worth two hours of your time you will have to decide.
