I cannot watch an English broadcast at the moment without saturation saccharine coverage.Obviously two people getting married is always a nice thing, but this is becoming preposterous.One just cannot escape from it.The wedding will be good for Britain for the international attention and the boost to the tourist trade.However it does reinforce the image that Americans have of the UK as some sort of Disneyland.The reaction of the crowds already is almost childishly excitable, but we live in the age of celebrity and I suppose this tops it all, the entire nation becomes part of a reality TV show.However tomorrow it returns to the real reality of economic misery and job insecurity. Escapism is just that.
