Queen Elizabeth II - My Fake Diary

Wednesday, 9 May 2012

My second maids, third assistant saw this in the paper today:

Queen Elizabeth II was scheduled Wednesday to set out the British government's annual legislative program in traditionally opulent style - an agenda focused on kick-starting stalled economic growth amid painful austerity measures and a slide back into recession.
Hundreds of people are expected to crowd along the streets outside Parliament to see the monarch's horse-drawn carriage parade from Buckingham Palace in a lavish ceremony featuring glittering carriages, sparkling diamonds and canon fire.

I wonder what a stalled economy, austerity measures and recession mean?
