Indeed, my ow feeling is that both the Monarchy and the Peerage need to be strengthened in order to provide a balance to the overweening power of the Commons. No level or estate is incorruptible, as any Historian or observer of government can tell one – so having three estates to act as counter-balances to each other can only strengthen, rather than weaken democracy. Good poem, enjoyed reading it and shall throw those facts around next time I debate with some of my fellow Occupiers the benefits of the Monarchy.L.A.B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883131172123152234.post-50333465752895380232012-06-08T18:46:29.019+01:002012-06-08T18:46:29.019+01:00Good on you Jenny, I enjoyed your poem on the Guer...Good on you Jenny, I enjoyed your poem on the Guernsey Poets Site.John Carré Buchananhttp://johncbuchanan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883131172123152234.post-67601142018217050752012-06-08T18:03:49.884+01:002012-06-08T18:03:49.884+01:00Totally agree with your poem John.

I put the fact that my mood remained ok (despite having 4 days of pain and only 6 hours in bed over the whole long weekend) down to the fact that it felt great to be British and even better to see the Nation in a good mood too.John Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020697451985437188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883131172123152234.post-26677676416678719972012-06-07T19:54:13.042+01:002012-06-07T19:54:13.042+01:00Brilliant poem John.

But I have certainly felt proud to be British, and whether the flags were the right way or the wrong way, wasn't it nice to see people in Britain happy for a change.Rambling Prosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465813762893479775noreply@blogger.com
