Another post about China

It’s not that the local Communist Party officials in Heilongjiang province’s Tonghe County, China are terrified of senior Communist Party leaders, but when senior Communist Party leaders recently announced plans for a last-minute visit to the newly refurbished stadium in Heilongjiang province’s Tonghe County, China the officials decided to make sure that all the building work was finished.

The last bit of the jigsaw was the painting of the white lines on the track and so they worked night and day to accomplish what really aught to be the easy bit!

Sadly when daylight and reason dawned just before the senior Communist Party leaders arrival someone had a “hang on there a moment’ moment, the lines showing the lanes on the track were painted at right angles.

90 Running Track

“Well it was faster than painting curves,” one official admitted.

Now we can all laugh at this but really and truly the British shouldn’t because every time that group of ‘ordinary’ people headed by the queen visit, the paint brush and so much more comes out in any town. Really those ‘ordinary’ people have no idea exactly what the country they live in looks like, but then it is rather difficult to see it when you spend most of your time in the sun when not visiting places where the paint has yet to dry.

A naff Pageant?

The English like to think that they have some of the best history in the world and that alone should be enough to entice loads of tourists to spend far too much money visiting what is essentially a rather tatty run down country full of some of the poorest people in Europe.

One of the ‘treasures’ of England is the Royal family which comprise some of the wealthiest people in Europe who occasionally are persuades to perform for the tourists and their supporters. These performances take the form of ‘events’ and are spread through the year so that attending doesn’t interfere with the Royal family’s holiday arrangements.

Transport for London likes a good Pageant

On odd occasions there is a big costly event arranged to mark an anniversary, these expensive ‘events’ are paid for by the overburdened taxpayer, the most recent was the queen’s diamond jubilee, in days gone by when the royal family meant something to the majority of the English population these events had some point now even the authorities are less than enthusiastic because of the problems caused to traffic flow and a Pageant becomes a “Padgent” whatever that is! Funny how transport for London managed to spell “NO STOPPING” correctly!

The British class system and the Royals – how mundane

One of the Queen’s daughters is a woman called Princess Anne, who seems to be the most normal of the Queen’s offspring, she has been ‘done’ for speeding five times, she has been divorced and to her credit (something unusual for a ‘royal,’ something creditable that is) decided that when her children were born they wouldn’t have royal titles and wouldn’t be brought up in the media spotlight and eventually become the darlings or criticised by the British public.

The British media, who like to dribble and fawn over the Royal family, and have kept them in place much longer than their sell by date would usually allow, have always applauded the “brave,” “inspired,” “laudable” decision of Princess Anne’s and so I wonder why is the story below from today’s Daily Telegraph online edition is a surprise to the British media, of course the rest of Britain doesn’t give a tuppenny toss because they can’t afford to go the the races at Cheltenham they are too busy trying to make ends meet, feed their kids and pay the mortgage and could do that with the cash this silly woman shelled out on that awful purple hat I expect!

Pure puerile!
