Send Her Victorious

"Send her victorious? Send her packing — on the next winged tram out of the Melbourne Commonwealth Games", welcomes Mark Baker of The Age. I suppose this is the respect Her Majesty deserves for merely doing her duty, to be called after each succeeding trip "a cargo of even greater antiquity - a queen from the other end of the world and her crusty consort...who authorized this tosh?" A little note at the end of the article tells us that Mark Baker also reported the Australian royal tour of 1975. One wonders how that went. Was there Windsor hating trash talk by this baby boomer back then too? Did he ponder how the "rest of the world can only wonder about [Australia's] apparent insecurity and immaturity"?

Send her packing? You know, let's send the boomers packing. That would solve everything, wouldn't it. The latest polls Down Under do show the monarchy predominantly supported by the young and the elderly, but (predictably) not the middle-aged. Prime Minister Howard may have implied neutrality on the question of Charles becoming King of Australia, but the problem is not really Prince Charles - it's his generation. That generous lot who gave us drugs, draft dodgers and deficits. Orgies. Abortion on demand. Assisted suicide. Etcetera. You really think something as quaint as the monarchy stands half a chance with this egotistical demographic? Unless the Queen can offer up a little satanic progress of her own, not very bloody likely.

No, there is only one way for Commonwealth monarchists to win this thing; and that is for the Queen to outlive this selfish bunch. Not necessarily live longer, but at least long enough to see their merry narcissistic selves out of power and into permanent retirement. Long may she reign over us is how we will send her victorious.
