It has really been instructive to watch the royal grovelling on display in the Republic, especially the remarks welcoming the visit from social commentator Fintan O'Toole. He tries to portray it as significant, whilst totally ignoring the true purpose of the visit which was to cement partition in Ireland. As she departs our shores, we're still left with the reality of a £4bn cuts offensive in the North of Ireland and a Republic suffering under the iron grip of the IMF/EU. The only question on the agenda is the need for workers, north and south, to unite in opposition. Our best gift to Lizzie would be another rebellion - but this time a socialist one!
