Sharp End Question of the Year

This question by Paul Flynn was so sharp that it made any answer Carwyn Jones might give sound rather silly. So I'll spare him the embarrassment of showing it.

I'd thoroughly recommend Paul Flynn's article today on the supposed effects of the Windsor family on charitable giving.

If anyone is in any doubt whether to click the link and read the whole thing, his closing paragraph should be enough to clinch it.

Overblown, uncritical, baseless claims of the influence of royals are the currency of sycophancy that engulfs us in contagious infantilism. The heroes of the charity world are flag sellers and jumble sale organizers who are inspired to sacrifice their talents and time for good causes. Many of those will resent the self-serving royals’ attempt to grab the credit for the thankless work of millions.
