reminds me of 'bourbon henge' by that illustrious italian teenage sculptor, recently featured in VIZ....

a reference to the 'braebournes' perhaps?

“What planet do these people live on?” A Teacher
You may well ask. Seemingly, it’s one of unquestionable entitlement where they are to be lauded and funded in perpetuity by everyone else, because they and their removed classmates say so. As an extended family, the Windsor dynasty can produce as many offspring as it likes – all of whom can expect the same treament.
Their planet also entertains those struggling to survive, financially and culturally, in the most divided of societies. The apologists are trying to pass off these people as worthy and useful, and bizarrely their marital rites of passage are promoted as entertainment for the masses and are used by the religious as exemples of how they would prefer we all behaved.
The utter presumption genuinely astounds me. That the citizens of Great Britain should all so easily be dismissed as gullible fools who, above all, are required to be grateful for their day off, amid this sorry spectacle of unrivalled excess, describes a Bourbon mindset of the very worst kind. Yes, of course they would like us to return to what they all describe as ‘traditional’ Christian values, telling us that we lack a sense of ‘community’ (which they no doubt would be pleased also to define). It makes us easier to control and distances them from any whiff of dissent or anarchy. Well our perfectly satisfactory communities are precisely as cohesive as we want them to be. Strikingly most of them are entities that the Windsors have taken great delight in resolutlely NOT associating themselves with.
Reassuringly, these sorts of otherwise irritating comments tend to suggest that this top-heavy, privileged system has the skids under its feet. These bowdlerized and slanted establishment accounts, in which citizens en masse are treated like idiots, are beginning to conspire against it.
