Özet
 ... And What Do You Do? is a hard-hitting analysis of the royal family, exposing its extravagant use of public money and the dubious behaviour of some among its ranks.

In this book, former government minister Norman Baker argues that the British public deserves better than this puerile diet. … And What Do You Do? is a hard-hitting analysis of the royal family, exposing its extravagant use of public money and the highly dubious behaviour of some among its ranks, whilst being critical of the knee-jerk sycophancy shown by the press and politicians. Baker also considers the wider role the royals play in society, including the link with House of Lords reform, and the constitutional position of the monarch, which is important given Prince Charles’s present and intended approach. … And What Do You Do? asks important questions about the future of the world’s most famous royal family.

“With our democracy in turmoil, it's right to be asking questions about constitutional reform. Norman Baker tackles the subject with his trademark energy and in forensic detail looking at the facts beyond the headlines.” -CAROLINE LUCAS©2019 Norman Baker Büyük Britanya Europe Politics & Activism Politics & Government Royalty World Düşündürücü Komik İngiltere British Royalty

I've never been a fan of the Royals in any shape or form but up till now it's been a vague, uninformed opinion. Now that I have these new insights and information provided by this book I find them an appallingly greedy, selfish, vain and dangerously undemocratic institution.

This stuff should be taught at schools. The sooner we become a republic the better. The cringing sycophancy of politicians and the many other vested interests towards the Royals is nauseating. An excellent audiobook, well narrated. Hard to stop listening. Will definitely seek out more on this topic and more by this author.

What an unedifying bunch they are.

Well written and excellently narrated. It is extremely topical especially in the current predicament Britain finds itself in post Brexit and in the midst of a pandemic. Is this royal family, placed where it is by accident of birth, still relevant, necessary, and financially affordable?

Excellent book by Norman Baker. David Vickery is the perfect narrator for the subject.

This book should be required reading or listening for everybody. I knew the royal family were fleecing us blind but had no idea as to the extent. I also had no idea just how much they can bend acts of parliament to suit themselves before they are passed.

It's time for them to go!

Great narration. The brief interview at the end was an unexpected bonus. This has changed the way I think about the monarchy.

Excellent all round. Hugely informative. Measured.

An illuminating book that should be on the National Curriculum. Norman Baker slices through the absurdity of this outrageously outmoded reign of Windsor with wit and precision. I object to paying taxes for the likes of Andrew and his daughters (along with the rest of them) to live a pointless high life of benefit to them alone. A rational person, I would like my taxes to pay for services for everybody. They really must think we are idiots.
