SIR – Next time our supposedly intelligent and impartial media informs us that a certain country is a slave to a personality cult, we should ask if that country is Britain.

What we have seen over the past few weeks and days is a slick, manipulative and completely ruthless public relations campaign that has brooked no challenge to the theory that Elizabeth Windsor is in fact a goddess and her offspring are just everyday people, with sycophants lining up to inform us how normal the monarch of this country is. And corporate rebels from the music industry falling over themselves to pay homage to the Windsor family and perhaps earn themselves a knighthood in the process.

We have been subjected to the worst possible excesses the establishment could throw at us.
