Book on royals includes Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in updated version
A controversial book by former Lib Dem Lewes MP and Government Minister of State, Norman Baker has just been published in paperback.
'Royal Mint, National Debt' is the title of Norman's no-holds-barred exposé of how he believes the royals lobby governments and the media. He says that is to maximise their cut from the national purse. He also explains how he feels they take advantage of a uniquely beneficial tax and legislative regime.
He asks: "How can a family that was effectively bankrupt in 1760 now be one of the richest in the country?" And he outlines details about the acceptance of dodgy donations and official gifts for personal use.
He has explained his concerns during hard-hitting TV interviews but refuses to backtrack as he firmly believes the royals use public money extravagantly and engage in what he describes as 'opaque business dealings.'
His book, formerly produced in a hard-back format, is now available in paperback and has been fully updated. This edition contains details on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and what he deems his 'money-making endeavours, including his friendship with convicted fraudsters, paedophiles and spies.'
The book, produced by Biteback Publishing, is priced at £9.99 and can be found at all good bookshops from this week or delivered direct.
Norman Baker established a reputation as one of the most dogged and persistent parliamentary interrogators the House of Commons has known. Among his books is 'The Strange Death of David Kelly' and his own political memoir, 'Against the Grain.'
He is also a singer songwriter having released three albums. A music aficionado, he hosts two weekly music shows on Seahaven FM., 'The Hidden 60s' and 'Ain't nothing but the Blues'.
