Somebody inflicted all of that coverage on us; somebody ensured that it was all-day, and all the same on every channel. Seriously, if you weren't here, there were back-to-back two-hour TV "news" specials on every major channel. I say "news" in quotes, because if you wanted to know what had happened on some day, then you were SOL; there might be a 5-minute segment of actual news somewhere in there, if you were prepared to watch all the rest of the grovelling. It's high time the media here showed respect for the 20% of UK citizens that are republicans. Do we get 20% of royal coverage expressing a republican sentiment? Do we hell. Did you know that 20% of the UK are in favour of abolishing the monarchy? Of course not, because the fawning media never mention it.
