Smith begins by tracing the history of the monarchy, from its origins in the Middle Ages to the present day. He argues that the monarchy has always been a symbol of oppression and inequality, and that it has no legitimate claim to power.

Smith then goes on to examine the current state of the monarchy. He argues that the royal family is out of touch with the needs of the British people, and that it is a drain on the public purse. He also criticizes the media's obsession with the monarchy, which he argues has created a false sense of glamour and importance around the institution.

Smith concludes by arguing that the monarchy should be abolished. He believes that it is an outdated and expensive institution that has no place in a modern democracy. He calls on the British people to rise up and demand a republic.

We Are Not Amused is a powerful and persuasive indictment of the British monarchy. Smith's arguments are well-researched and well-reasoned, and he makes a compelling case for the abolition of the monarchy.

If you are interested in learning more about the British monarchy, or if you are simply curious about the arguments for and against its abolition, then I highly recommend reading We Are Not Amused.
