It's like some kick up the 80s sketch.

It would appear that the new King is an arsehole.

George VI's coronation took place 8 months after the Jarrow march so nothing new there

Better be quick to view any pages linking Charlie's and Jimmy Savile's special 'relationship', as they'll be disappearing pdq.

Google is your pal right now, but it may not always be that way.

The President of the FA, which runs the England national team, is now the Prince of WALES

Bit of a clash of interests there

I’ll assume in the interest of impartiality the BBC have been discussing the merits of ditching the monarchy?

Would say it’s an absolute certainty. He’ll do 6 months in the top job and step aside saying they would have done it at the time but wanted to deal with the formalities as quickly and quietly as possible before letting the next generation lead the way.

Won't happen.

They will bring back hanging for us republicans before the BBC works out how impartiality works.

Is there a debate on abolishing the monarchy though? Outside of P&B I'm not sure there is much appetite for the discussion.

There is no debate, as to debate it would be deemed disrespectful - because only monarchists views are deemed relevant and appropriate by the media.

Obviously the same rules dont apply to their coverage of other issues (Brexit, Independence, climate change etc).

But, yes - there is an appetite outside of here.

For Scotland, there is a far larger fish to fry. There's just no need and no advantage to be gained by discussing a republic when there's independence to be squared away first. 

The fact that it's the only way Scotland will ever be able to ditch the grifting touchers and have an elected head of state is almost moot. Sequencing.

Let's see - because if ever there was a chance to have the discussion now would be the time - transition king with less appeal than the Queen or his son who will step up sooner rather than later.

I'll be frank, can't be arsed either way.  I reckon they're just about cosyt neutral all things considered and in any event they sure aren't giving back whatever they've got in the past from the country.
