I am one of the most respected anti-monarchists in the United Kingdom. I’m up there in the echelon, attending functions and garden parties, and all the time holding a tight rational belief that the Queen should not be the Head of State from merit of her bloodline. It’s medieval and I do not want to part of this state, which I would rather see as a Republic.

I have fantasised about destroying all the monuments in London, I have dreamed of setting charge to them - 10,000 little blocks of Semtex, enough to smash 10,000 icons.
