Every year, The Times publishes a letter from a bloke called O'Donovan, in which he lists the Royals and the number of engagements that they have had in the preceding year and applauds them for their hard work (even though the hard work is actually done by those that they visit rather than by them turning up and guzzling down tea and cakes and waving at a few humble people).
I have toyed with the idea of scrutinising the column inches that The Times devotes to Royal stories over the course of a year so as to show how hard that paper (and others) work on the Royals' behalf, pumping out vacuous propaganda to a gullible nation.
But then again, I really can't be arsed.
