00:00Yeah, and we've done quite a lot recently. We were in Hexham last week at Durham and Middlesbrough just recently.
00:05So yeah, we're basically trying to make sure where they are. If we've got enough notice, then we'll get there.
00:09And you saw the King go in, did you? Does he ever acknowledge you when you see...
00:14Well, he couldn't miss us this time because he literally drove straight past us looking out the window this side of the cast.
00:18So yeah, he definitely knows we're here. I mean, the one thing they're good at is ignoring people they don't want to talk to.
00:24So they usually do that, but he definitely knows we're here and here's what we're saying.
00:28You've approached Buckingham Palace, haven't you, in the past, for a meeting or something?
00:32From time to time, yeah. But we've recently written to the Duchy of Lancaster asking them to be honest about who owns it
00:40and to stop suggesting that it is the private property of Charles, which it isn't.
00:46So they've ignored that letter, but that's one reason why we're in Lancaster particularly.
00:50Presumably you've got a problem with it being the Duchy of Lancaster, his private finance, his private...
00:54Because I mean, the Duchy belongs to us, it's a state asset, and yet we allow them to take ÂŁ27 million of profit from the Duchy.
01:01I've just spoken to the police. I would rip that out of your hand, but they would arrest me.
01:05So that's the only reason.
01:07Good, good. I'm glad of that, because you're intolerant and unpleasant.
01:10So why don't you leave us alone?
01:11Oh dear, I will do, yes.
01:12But I'm just giving the opinion of my...
01:14Anyway, we're doing an interview.
01:15We'll do a quick chat.
01:17And the next one is going to...
01:19And obviously, well, we just saw kind of an hint about...
01:21I was speaking to people over there who are disappointed, let's say, that you are here.
01:25What's your message to this...
01:26Yeah, well, I'm disappointed that Charles is here.
01:27I'm disappointed he's ripping us off ÂŁ27 million from Lancaster, half a billion pounds every year.
01:32You know, protest is not only legitimate and reasonable, it's absolutely necessary,
01:36and we're challenging an institution like the monarchy.
01:38And there will be a bunch of people here that don't care.
01:40There are standing next to a lovely monarchist just along here who was...
01:44We were having a nice chat, and she's absolutely on our side in terms of the right to protest.
01:49So, you know, people have different views.
01:51The woman that we just saw here, there's a very small minority who are just quite unpleasant
01:56and intolerant of people who disagree with them.
01:59It's a tiny minority here, and most people are just absolutely fine with it.
02:02And just a quick word on Trooping the Colour, of course, next week.
02:04Will you be down there protesting?
02:06Yes, we are protesting Trooping the Colour again, and we've chatted to the Royal Parks and the police,
02:13so we've made it clear what we're planning to do,
02:15and hopefully we'll be having a bigger crowd outside, below the balcony when they come out.
