the real message from the Jubilee celebrations?

Watching the BBC coverage of the Jubilee celebrations we have been 
looking at the composition of the crowds. It became clear right at the 
beginning that there were few ethnic faces present, whether in London or 
elsewhere. Even the BBC couldn't find enough to interview!

Bearing in mind the ethnic make up of our big cities, especially London, 
this should be a real wake up call to those who believe that diversity 
is our strength and who believe that Britishness can be measured by the 
passing of a short quiz or teaching people to recognize some British 
'icons'.

The real British were out there in the crowds, mainly white with a few 
Afro Carribeans, all cheering the Royal Family.

The Royals have survived all of the political attempts to discredit them 
and to oust them from the hearts of the British people.

What politician could evoke such support?

The EU simply cannot compete.
