Chuck doesn't want to go....

 

I see King Charles's best mate David Dimbelby has been dispatched more-or-less on his lonesome to the Newsnight to grovel for him not to have to go to America to celebrate 250 years since the declaration of Independence.  A pitiful sight... Surely meeting horrible people and sucking up to them is about the only useful thing that the Royals actually do.  Amongst other nonsense he's moaning about freelancers doing stuff line narrating Royal events.  Apparently, they wouldn't have the knowledge to voice over state occasions.  Commentaries like Big Ears has got a big silly hat on again might ensue.  The pomposity doesn't just come off the top of commentator's heads.  It takes months to prepare for.  Boots have to be licked.  Bottoms have to be kisses.  Dukes of Hazard have to be swept under carpets.
