Not The Royal Wedding
18 MAY 2018 · Republican cartoonist Martin Rowson joins the Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire ahead of 'the big day' to ponder the question: why should I care about the royal family or a royal wedding?
During the recording of the podcast, the famous illustrator drew a cartoon of Harry and Meghan popping into Slough Register Office near Windsor for a quiet wedding with a homeless man grabbed from the streets to be a witness. You can see it in all its beauty on Mirror Online now.
Comedian Tiff Stevenson also cracks a few anti-monarchy jokes to cost herself a Damehood and the uncrowned head of the campaign group Republic, Graham Smith, deconstructs the TV myth a nation’s excited about the wedding. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
14 MAY 2018 · Brummie Bard Benjamin Zephaniah joins the Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire to explain why he is a republican.
Zephaniah discusses his refusal to accept an OBE, his decision to refuse to bow to the Queen before an event at the Albert Hall and claims he would not play at Buckingham Palace for £1million.
Labour MP Steve Pound also appears on the pod to voice his opposition to the monarchy, saying, "I think the country can do better, I really do. I don't think we need to have a medieval subservience…" For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
8 MAY 2018 · Labour MP Emma Dent Coad joins the Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire to reveal how making a few republican quips led to her receiving multiple death threats and fearing for her safety.
Dent Coad - a long time republican - made some light-hearted jokes at the expense of Princes Harry and William at last Autumn’s Labour conference in Brighton.
She tells Kevin about the frankly terrifying degree of abuse she received in the aftermath, asks how the perpetrators possibly justify their behaviour and explains why she believes a King Charles could aid the cause of republicans.
Elsewhere, TSSA transport union leader Manuel Cortes tells the podcast he will be watching Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final on Saturday, 19 May instead of the Windsor event. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
30 APR 2018 · The Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire is joined by former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen to question why some people make themselves inferior by “bowing and scraping” before an unnecessary expense for the country.
The university professor also explains why he believes the royal family should not be glorified, and how he hopes to get through FA Cup Final day without a single mention of *that* wedding.
Meanwhile, the subject of this week's quickfire questions is Labour MP and Jeremy Corbyn supporter, Chris Williamson - who reveals why Prince Charles once told him, “Oh do shut up”. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
9 APR 2018 · In the first Not The Royal Wedding podcast the snappy Beast of Bolsover, irrepressible Labour MP Dennis Skinner, declares he's never sang God Save the Queen and refused a royal command to meet Prince Charles. Skinner told the flunkey: “Why, has he got fed up with talking to the plants?” He thinks Meghan Markle's a good catch for the royals but in the future this American outsider could stick two fingers up at the royals. The dysfunctional family striving to be both regal and common will ultimately trip itself up. “They want their cake and eat it,” says the Beast For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
