Easily done.
I was about to go into a long rant about how the two are entirely different, but Brian37 summed it up pretty well.

I bet you wouldn't be so intent on filtering the Kardashians out if their entire family were elected politicians, would you?

You know, as much guff as I know I cause around here, it is nice to know sometimes I am not as full of shit as I know I am.

Amen,

But when you've got tools like Charles running around getting the NHS to fund homeopathic hospitals and making tax free profits from public capital (duchy of Cornwall), then they become a problem that needs to be fixed.

Charles I anyone?

Do you have any data to back that assertion up? Does that data take into account estimates for all the hidden accounts / earnings of the Duchy, as revealed by Dispatches a few weeks ago?

Exactly. Charles makes millions tax free, all thanks to public capital (my taxes).

All in it together.

Beyond that, they're all a waste of resources as far as I'm concerned. I do however have an interest in the history and the pageantry of our country, stretching back to the days when the monarch du jour got off its privileged arse and actually did something.

The goons is being repeated on radio 4 extra in the morning. I listen to it at work.

Oh wow - cheers for that! Big Grin
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

They seem to be going through all the old ones.
Recently they've had on:
Hancocks half hour, round the horn, much binding in the marsh, the navy lark and so on.
It stops at about 9.30 when they put on some serious drama at which point I turn over to radio 1.
