Analogy too far

Alistair McBay (Letters, 7 June) claimed that the Jubilee celebration coverage reminded him of North Korea. That’s strange, because it reminded me, and the rest of the world, of Britain.

If ever the entire Royal Family appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony dressed in plain green uniform, sternly watching missile launchers parade down the Mall, while republicans are worked to death in punishment camps, I’ll reconsider Mr McBay’s analogy.
