In my theoretical filing cabinet (I do in fact own a filing cabinet, though I struggle with the filing part) I file “royalty” right next to “religion” in that I don’t really mind if people hold a self-evidently irrational belief in a superior being (or beings if that’s their thing) as long as they don’t go on and on about it. Sadly the not going on and on about it part may be in scant supply over the next nine or so months.
Never fear most people in UK feel very much like you It is just the media and people who believe what they read in it that get carried away……..
