Royalty

Sooo… it’s ‘Royal Racists’ being outed in the Dutch translation of some book today, is it?

At least it distracts from the news that they’ve been secretly soaking up the assets of their dead subjects. Silver linings and all that.

And from the fact that schools will be given an oak framed portrait of the king at a cost of £8M (doubtless it being displayed prominently will be part of an amended Ofsted inspection framework)

Is this true?! that's fucking bonkers.

My daughter wants her school to frame this picture instead.

Total madness and even worse given the inexcusable school funding cock up only last month.

I’m reassured by the knowledge that the Taxpayers Alliance will be all over it.

Piers Morgan - I know! - has named the royal racists published in Dutch edition of the book.

He also repeatedly calls the author a proven liar - self awareness was never his strong point

The author has said that he never wrote the names in any copy of his book, but that it was an open secret that all of Fleet Street knew in any case.

Not a huge surprise really, just good that it’s out in the open without the usual “that’s just Prince Phillip being Prince Phillip” defence being applicable

So which ones is it?

King and Kate I read somewhere......

Ah. Probably not the ones I'd have picked, other than "all of them".

Probably another K somewhere.

ITV news at ten confirming that the two named by the dodgy translation, as mentioned above, Charles and Kate.

If they had any sense, or wanted to actually confront racism, they would try to spin the ‘concerns’ as a loving grandfather and aunt concerned/worried about the systemic inequities that face all children of colour in Europe and in the Americas.

Much as I despise Chuck, I do appreciate this subtle/blatant trolling of Sunak:

Ha, that is good!

Much better if the entitled, life long hypocrite actually did something meaningful however rather than swanning around in a private jet to spout more of his crap*, seriously, why does he even get invited?

*Issue is not crap, just not really interested in Charles’ views as he neither has an academic background to be able to inform nor is a politician who, in theory at least, can actually do something

2 royals in hospital for operations

fingers crossed

Daily Mail front page is... something.

Unfortunately they have got succession planning sorted

For those that haven't seen it:

Well, there’s a lot of Tory in-fighting to distract the faithful from.

King Chas?

If it turns out to be bowel cancer the Groom of the King's Close Stool is going to have some difficult questions to answer.
