if you don't like the royal family that's fine I don't really care about them either way, but the argument they are propped up financially by the government is absolutely absurd. They generate far far more for the UK economy than they receive and removing them would be the worst financial decision we could ever make.
They only help the Tourist industry in London .. Any idea how much there Queen gets per year from the public's purse.??
The fact that they generate tourism income doesn't mean that they don't have their snouts in the trough wherever possible. A few years ago they tried to use a state poverty fund to pay for the Buckingham Palace heating bill.
I don't like them! I'm just saying they make so much money for the country we could not do without them
I'm sure one of your Grammar School pals will let us know. Except Diane... She struggles with numbers over twelvety.
haha OK then! Do you know how many people have just watched the wedding around the world? do you know the total TV rights payments into the UK from every country that just broadcast it?
The Prince of Wales has paid for the wedding. He apparently earns circa £35.5 million per year through the income stream of the Duchy of Cornwall. It costs the taxpayer around £30 million from the Privy Purse, to fund the Royal household with an additional £270 million being provided by other outside means . http://uk.businessinsider.com/where-does-the-royal-family-get-money-2017-1
Well said This country should be proud we have a Royal family Better than a President like Putin or Trump now they are lovely people
A quote from Katy Brand, once we’ve done, they’re people too : “I defy anyone who watched Harry as a young boy having to walk that awful walk in the full public glare at Diana’s funeral, to not have the grace to give him this happy and also public day without the sniping. Just let him have this day.”
I'd have our royal family any day over a Trump. What a lovely occasion today and well worth the money it may have cost. For info only.... our Bard of Barnsley and my friend is not a royalist and actually turned down the chance to be nominated as poet laureate. He said he wouldn't want to cow-tow to the royals on occasions like this !!
So I'm not allowed to object to the royal family because Harry's Mum died? I don't see how that is relevant. I wish him all the best in his wedding but I think the monarchy should definitely be abolished.
I can honestly say Kes that I haven’t met you but I think your a useless ****, I’m sure this is mutual dumbo
