"I have not even made any pro-royalist comments."
'Course you haven't
You have claimed that those who criticise the Royal family are leftie misfits who are out of step with"the will of the people" - which is utter garbage.
You claim that the Royal family bring masses of wealth into Britain, which is highly questionable, but if it is true, little of it filters down to the people we have contempt for and you claim to be defending.
"I just point out that most people want to keep the institution."
There you go again claiming something you cannot possibly know.
I don't have to prove anything - I make no claim on "most of the people" - I point out that the majority are probably those who don't give a toss - you prove your claim, I have made none.
I seldom agree with Ake on anything, but the one thing I admire about him is he states his beliefs clearly, no matter what the consequences.
You, on the other hand.....!!!!!
"Papers publish royal supplements because it massively boosts their circulation"
Precisely - the reason why we have wall-to-wall Corrie, Eastenders and the X Factor on our televisions night after night - never mind the quality, feel the wealth.
Selling Royalty has become more and more of a business enterprise since their role as rulers.
