It is not a coincidence that the pomp and bombast of the monarchy mostly dates from the era after the Great Reform Acts, as Britain became closer and closer to what we consider a modern democratic state. It is a sign of celebration of the institution of constitutional monarchy as the keystone of a democratic and free public order. It symbolises that, as Britain continues to change, we value more and more what Churchill called a "true bulwark of British freedom" constitutional monarchy.

Sir, It is ironic that a letter from so many QCs would demand special pleading (Jun 24). The lord chief justice cannot take aside in the Bar’s dispute with the government but must continue to enforce rules neutrally and without fear or favour. If barristers fail to keep the obligation they gave to attend court on a certain day, the lord chief justice cannot ignore this breach of the rules without implicitly endorsing the strike and compromising his neutrality. The direction that judges should sanction barristers who break rules is thus a judicial and wise course of action. That criminal QCs read this basic judicial duty as “intimidation” is absurd. Barristers may have good reason to strike but they cannot expect no consequences to flow from choosing to break the rules.

To put it mildly, there are quite a few Marxist dons in California’s university system today. In a twist of irony Ernst Kantorowicz, a scholar of medieval studies and strident anti-communist, lost his job when he refused to take the McCarthyite oath on principle.
