Ed Milliband has expressed his disgust to Andrew Marr at the idea that trade unions might strike during the Royal Wedding; it's 'wrong', says Red Ed.
Yeah, wouldn't it just make you to sick to see lots of silly little people with their silly little problems disrupting the joy of a nation united behind the loving union of a prince and his beaming bride? I can hardly stand the mere thought that these uppity oiks might have the temerity to think about their own lives on a day when their country's most noble bloodline is condescending to unite with the middle-class daughter of a humble millionaire.
So thank God we now know where Red Ed stands, because there were times when – what with his redness and all – I thought he might, you know, place a higher value on the rights of people than on regal pomp.
So, ruling classes: the message is don't worry. The party of labour does not value its base over the ceremonial idiocies of a constitutional monarchy.
