FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

It was a quintessentially British occasion, with weather to match.
The sky over the Thames was a steely, unbroken grey. The vast crowd, ten deep in places, certainly needed their umbrellas.
But how the boats, splashed in so many vivid colours, pierced the London gloom.
At the heart of this fantastic, 1,000-strong Diamond Jubilee flotilla of tugs, steamers, pleasure cruisers, dragon boats and kayaks was, of course, Queen Elizabeth II.
Once in a lifetime sight: An estimated 1.2 million packed the riverbanks as well as millions on TV at home
Surely nothing could better symbolise the 86-year-old Queen’s stoicism, resilience or dedication to duty than seeing her standing waving to the cheering crowds from the open-topped royal barge, fully exposed to the elements, for four hours.
The cold, the wind and the rain had proved no match for the determination of millions across Britain to enjoy their street parties – and it was not going to deter Her Majesty from enjoying the pageant on the Thames, either.
True, the nation was keen to take its mind off the storm clouds gathering at a terrifying pace over the economy, and make the most of the long bank holiday weekend.
But few would deny the Queen’s right to be moved by the public’s enthusiasm for the Jubilee, or the affection and respect for her six decades of service that was so clearly evident yesterday.
There was undoubted appreciation among the 1.2million-strong London crowd that, through periods of dizzying social change which have challenged this nation’s identity, she has been a constant, reassuring, hard-working presence.
During her reign – David Cameron is her 12th prime minister – respect for Britain’s political class has plummeted.
Yet the Royal Family is gaining in popularity, with seven out of ten people believing the nation is better off with the monarchy.
Tellingly, a poll yesterday found three times as many people think the Queen, for all the privilege that she enjoys, is more in touch with ordinary Britons than Mr Cameron and his senior ministers.
Little wonder, then, that the republican movement finds itself so demoralised – its voice reduced to a barely audible whine.
How dispiriting it must have been for the protest group Republic to be drowned out by a loud, passionate, impromptu rendition of God Save The Queen yesterday when it attempted to make an anti-monarchy protest at Tower Bridge.
Cold but cheerful: Nothing could better symbolise the 86-year-old Queen’s stoicism, resilience or dedication to duty
The Jubilee celebrations are not yet over. There will be more street parties today, and the guitars are being tuned for what promises to be a wonderful pop concert and fireworks display at Buckingham Palace this evening.
More than 4,000 beacons are due to be lit.
But, already, the world has been reminded that, whatever the weather, nobody does pageantry quite like Britain.
Long may it continue. And long may the Queen continue to reign.
Winds of change
First, the High Court declared victory for the Norfolk villagers of Hemsby in their battle to prevent ugly, inefficient wind farms being built on their doorstep.
Now Tory-controlled Lincolnshire County Council is to change planning laws so there is a ‘presumption against wind turbine developments on the grounds of negative cumulative visual impact’.
Indeed, even George Osborne is said to be getting cold feet, and is thinking of cutting the vast subsidies devoured by the hugely expensive, landscape-destroying monstrosities.
The Chancellor should get on with it. The Coalition’s gimmicky, image-obsessed ‘green’ energy policy has done quite enough damage already.

Does this show that we British have a deep masochistic streak? Gritting teeth through inclement weather, notably at the seaside; school beatings until Europe told us to stop it; awful food until quite recently etc. etc. If so, I suppose it may be one reason to explain our Empire. British grit, determination, sheer bloody mindedness. Having said this, it is noteworthy that Douglas Haig used silk underpants whilst operating as a cavalry officer in Africa. Sensible chap, what?

Oh would to hear such noble sentiments as you so generously express from the minds of even a few from India instead of the mean-minded examples so often read in these columns. Thank you Mario de Oliveira, your words do you credit.

After all the whining about the cost of this Flotilla and the Olympics in recent months, I´m happy to see so many people actually made an effort to come out to enjoy this.
What a show of pride this has made us.
