Moya Lothian-McLean: The Jubilee Bank Holiday is the Worst Deal in the World.

The Jubilee Bank Holiday is the Worst Deal in the World

Moya Lothian-McLean: Imagine a scene: I stand before you, arms outstretched, proposing a trade. I will receive seven decades of uninterrupted rule as an unelected head of state, an estimated personal wealth of nearly £400m, on top of assets valued at a cool £22.2bn. And I'll have some public money too, with the state funding my lifestyle to the tune of £85m. Oh, throw in the entitlement to operate above the law, and an enduring, unconscious agreement that somehow, me and my descendants are blessed with the divine right to rule over others. 

In return you – peasantry you! – will be entitled to: one extra bank holiday, provided you are not self-employed, work in the service industry or don't have a job that allows you to take it off, of course.

This, simply put, is the worst deal in the world. But it's the very real scenario that faces Britain, Northern Ireland and some Commonwealth territories as we finally reach the week of 'celebrations' that mark Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. Never has the mythology of the British monarchy seemed so obviously threadbare. As the political and cultural relevance of the Crown wanes, what remains is a system that entrenches subjugation for subjugation's sake.
