The bbc #whatsthemonarchyfor is surprisingly fascinating about the relationship between media and monarchy. Narrated by dimbleby. I don't usually like programmes about the royals, but this does open the lid a lot

I think this monarchy political influence programme would be far better spent analysing the influence of Rupert fucking Murdoch on the sharp far right turn of the country, to be honest with you

With regard to David Dimbleby, absence has made the heart grow unexpectedly fonder. #WhatsTheMonarchyFor? was a balanced and interesting documentary: fascinating at times. Age has not wearied Dimbleby's sharpness. To Ash Sarker, he explained that it was, "inherited talent." Quite probably.

#WhatsTheMonarchyFor #BBC No way should the private estates of the Duchies of Cornwall & Lancaster charge public services #NHS #Army for using their land! That’s our tax money going into the King’s & Prince of Wales’ private pockets! #TimeForChange #CostOfLiving #Fairness

Watching #WhatsTheMonarchyFor and was delighted to see Mr W on the tellybox in the naval cortège for Mountbatten's funeral.

He was recalled from leave by a PC turning up at his house. 46 odd years later he still drips about the 'bloody man spoilt my summer leave'

The late queen isn't descended from Charles the Second. Why did Dimbnley imply she was? #whatsthemonarchyfor
