Island of sanity
So great to hear some intelligent and frank discussion on the monarchy. Such a contrast with the drivelling nonsense in most of the media. Thanks!
So happy about time!
Believe me, we are not all in this together....
Mr Bones
Great to see this podcast. At last we can have some open and intelligent discussion about the monarchy, which seems to be off the agenda of most of the mainstream media. Graham Smith is smart and on his game so the talk is informative and thoughtful. I like that he avoids the temptation to bash the royals on a personal basis and instead concentrates on the arguments and rationale for a Republic. I’d like to see a discussion of Prof Angel’s views on the case on the disclosure of the Prince Charles letters.
