David,

Does that mean it is nott your nap?

The Chief Steward here who is an ex- Bookmaker might interpret that as being nott your nap and you are biding your time for another Horse who is not doing a Clint and drifting from 15/2 to 14/1 as I speak.

Congrats, hope you enjoyed that.

Thanks Harry. I doubled it with a non runner in the Victoria Cup which was fortunate as I don't think my choice would have been any match for that winner.

I was also drawn to Zip but put off by draw 1....soon find out

Let’s hope his travel arrangements went smoothly!

It is amazing how a concoted tale dreamt up by the Daily Mail and which has been disproved, is repeated as a fact. The rabid loony leftie Monbiot's facts were well established by an investigative journalist who showed that the police had acted like the Stasi.

The full story is here, not the lies propagated for the Mail's readers.

Why else did the police release the women (after 13 hours) who were part of an association who are sponsored by the Metropolitan police and who give out rape alarms in certain areas of London where there is a high incidence of attacks on women at night. That includes an Australian woman who had nothing to do with either the protesters of the Rape Action group (who were arrested the night before). The Met were put up to it by the Mail which the Government grovels to at every opportunity.

Does not take much to make a Met officer take action against women who are trying to protect other women. There is a culture of it, a disgrace to London. Some of us not wearing blue coloured spectacles know why that is.

It is no sort of a democracy where peaceful protest is crushed under shameful and deplorable laws brought in by the ultra Right Tories. Those who do this and those who support it must be deeply insecure about the stability of the regime and their set of political beliefs. Those who died for democracy in the Second World War are being betrayed by these individuals a by the tin pot flawed politicians who are trying to work up the fears of a vulnerable and fearful part of the UK population, much of it elderly, much as the Nazis did in the 1930s.

As far as the Coronation goes, the Royal Family has never been so unpopular.

The result of the ham fisted stupidity of our Met boys in blue and their handlers in the Government is that the popularity of the Republic organisation has soared. And only a minority wanted to pledge loyalty to the King.

Your are welcome.

I'm a staunch supporter of the monarchy but would not have said that pledge. Whoever thought that one up was just barmy.

Luckily this is still a Christian country ( just) and the majority supports the Royal family though if the left keeps saying migrants welcome here that won't be the case.

The G supports the Republic movement it seems from the constant anti monarchy articles.

The Stop Oil mob are not peaceful protestors ,nor are the AR lot. Peaceful protestors do not do deliberate acts of vandalism or disrupt citizens daily lives.

I'm all for peaceful protesting against this Tory bunch as much as I was against Blair and his war mongering.

GM and his loony left articles supports their activities.

If they had behaved like this in most of the EU states they would get the bloody good hiding from the Police which they deserve. We are to soft.

I would like to see my lads lot be mobilised to deal with them not the Met. Marines don't mess around.
