Looks at the motives for the unlawful death of Dr Kelly and the various possibilities of who could be involved before coming to the most likely scenario. This book also analyses and criticises the official process instigated after his death, putting the entire episode into its British political context, and looking at the actions of government.
A provocative and timely examination of the royal family's role in contemporary Britain, covering their finances and constitutional role.
Against the Grain is a journey through the political career of Norman Baker, the independent-minded, and colourful, former Liberal Democrat MP.
... 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.What makes this book so unusual is that Baker is himself a member of the Privy Council, the body that officially advises the monarch. By turns irreverent and uncompromising, ... And What Do You Do? asks important questions about the future of the world's most famous royal family.
