And, of course, you’ll need security clearance, have to sign the Official Secrets Act and probably an agreement not to speak to the media about anything you see in the Palace. On the plus side, you’ll learn how to curtsey properly and walk out of rooms backwards – the latter very quickly if you find you’re in it on your own with Prince Andrew. Mind you, there’s always the possibility that you’ll meet a Ruritanian Lancer and live happily ever after. Huzzah!

One of Andrew’s ex-staff claimed recently that Andy had about 50-60 soft toys on his bed and that he kept a photo in the room of the way they should be arranged. Any staff charged with tidying up his bedroom got the hairdryer treatment if they got it wrong. I wonder what the hourly rate is for the soft toy arranger?

Hm. If you develop housemaid’s knee, do you get paid sick leave, or do they just send you to the workhouse?
OK, a little more seriously…
The UK Government’s National Living Wage, so called (laughably), is currently £8.91, so at least Her Maj is offering a little more than that – a munificent 30p an hour! SIX whole pounds per 20-hour working week! The UK Real Living Wage is currently £9.90, somewhat more munificent again, but still not nearly enough, of course. Especially when we consider the bloated wealth and incomes of the richest people in the UK – and just how many of them are there in the Westminster Parliament, we wonder, and in which party or parties?

Apparently, the Tories just voted NOT to cut VAT on fuel, despite Gove telling us that they could do that IF they left the EU. It is said that one Tory MNP broke the whip and voted for the cut. She (Ann Marie Morris) has been suspended from the party.
In the meantime the Norwegian government is paying 33% of all electricity bills; the French and the Irish have made €100 grants to people as well as (in France) at least, putting a 4% cap on increases.

Too little, too late – and will be more so if the recommended arrangements are ever put into place, which seems doubtful. Nothing must trammel the infinite sovereignty of Westminster regimes and their more and less supine parliaments!
