Queen: We Sank The Armada, We Can Sink Some P2P Pirates!
Yesterday at 11:30am, the Queen made her way to Parliament in a coach, entered the robing room to receive her crown, and headed to the Lords Hall as the “Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod” went off to the Commons (where the sovereign is not allowed to enter). The Gentlemen Usher banged thrice upon the Commons door with his black rod, was allowed to enter, and headed to the Table of the House to “announce the Queen’s summons.” The Commons all trooped over the the Lords to see the Queen, seated on her throne, who then opened a new session of Parliament with her customary speech laying out the government’s agenda. Though it sounds like something straight out of the 1570s, this is pomp and circumstance, 21st century style.
