We had all this nonsense about the Royal Family boosting the economy when the two of them got married. After the wedding was proved to have had a negative effect on UK Growth, I didn't hear any of these ridiculous claims about the Jubilee. Clearly the BBC thinks that sufficient time has now elapsed to trot out these stupid claims again.

We are constantly told that the Royals are good for tourism, the economy, British Trade, foreign investment etc, but never a shred of evidence is offered. It's all part of the propaganda that spending £200 million plus on the Royals, whilst the Irish spend £3 million on their President, is value for money and people swallow it hook, line and sinker. There's naught as queer as folk.

The BBC's coverage has certainly been cringe-worthy but, weirdly, they might be right about the economic consequences. There's naught as queer as folk.

The BBC has become the state broadcaster. North Korea must be taking lessons in propaganda from the BBC's coverage of this birth. It is even suggesting it will be good for the economy: Royal birth means baby boom time.
