The Monarchy Makes Britain a Prisoner of Its Past

George Chesterton | Posted 03.08.2012 | UK Politics

Not only is 'respect for the Queen' the default position in the media and politics, but in a recession the idea of something as unsettling as ending the monarchy can be dismissed as a waste of money and a priority of abyssal insignificance.
