Please note that I post this documentary not because I am a convinced ‘Republican’, I am not, though I do sometimes wonder about whether we would be better off without a monarchy. My strongest objection to having a monarchy, apart from the incredible cost, is that having a royal family perpetuates the class system; so it holds people back. Moreover, other countries such as Switzerland, where I once had the privilege to live for four years many years ago, functions rather well without a royal family. In fact, it functions rather better than the United Kingdom does. But, when all is said and done, I am a firm believer in freedom of thought, freedom of opinion, and freedom of speech. We all have a right not only to express our views, but also to hear and assess the views of others. Enjoy this fascinating documentary. – © Mark Alexander
