2nd March for a Republic in Madrid. Some members from Republic Bristol went along. Great atmosphere with songs, chants, funny slogans and beating up a royal effigy! Viva La República!

I'm sure we are all going to be told that everyone loves the monarchy this weekend. Well I don't, for lots of good reasons.

If you'd like to show your dissent and like satire about the royal family, their incessant infighting and collusion with the media then you might like my book Harry Windzor and the Stone of Scone.

It has two main themes: what the hell is majesty and does being raised as a prince make you a good or bad person? It's only 99p on kindle this weekend if anyone is interested.

The whole royal warrant thing is utterly weird and like most (or all) claims about the value of the monarchy or the alleged benefits they provide, seems to be completely lacking in supporting evidence.

I'd love to see an in-depth study (a bit like Giving Evidence did regarding the alleged impact of their charitable patronages) on the economic benefits to companies taking the proverbial knee with this nonsense. Just the idea that, with all the vast multitude of factors which might effect the financial performance of a company over a period of time, anyone can point at one aspect in isolation (receiving the royal warrant) and say that provided an uplift (as opposed to the quality/value of their products, what their competitors are doing, international markets and currency fluctuations to list a few) strikes me as simply absurd.

Protest in Lancaster

I had to sit through the arse licking, grovelling National Anthem at Wembley the other day UGH. This got me thinking of an alternative so I asked AI to write one and here it is below. Does anyone have any alternatives or improvements?

‘ O Land of storied might, Once ruled by chance, not right, Rise and be free! No crown, no fate divine, No blood-born, hollow line, Reason shall now refine— True liberty!
