As much as this is based they shouldn't be discussing politics on a cooking program

Everything is political. Who they have on the show, what they bake. You can't escape it jusy by ignoring it.

This is a kids baking show. They could discuss thousand topics before coming near someone's "stand on a constitutional monarchy".

I mean wtf, ask her about her favorite non-bake food or something!

The theme of the show was "coronation", it was the final, he was going around asking the kids what they think of the royal family, it was a perfectly appropriate topic. Another kid said she loved them, if we were watching that clip, I doubt we would be having this conversation..

GBBO is too wholesome to have politics imo. I don't want people arguing and stuff. But it's probably fine with kids because it just sounds cute when they talk about anything.

Exactly. The UK seems quite good at keeping politics out of the rest of life to me

Then the people in charge should've thought about that before they gave the show a political theme. It's their own damn fault and they deserve what they get.

They aired this, so I think they got exactly what they wanted. They had the choice to edit it out.
