What is your view of people in anachronistic, unearned privileged positions?It is all socialist left-wing jealousy of an individual in a privileged position.
You are part of their heritage since the ancestors stole everything.The Monarchy as an institution is over 1200 years old and is part of our heritage.
What? You mean we don't have to pay people to live in a place for it to be a tourist attraction?Stonehenge and Dover Castle cost a lot to maintain but no-one calls for their demolition to save money or questions their value as heritage and tourism sites.
They should be maintained in memory of all the poor sods who actually built them.
Yes, let's all go on a march.A living Monarchy 1200 years old with all its pomp and circumstance is as worth preserving as any other part of our heritage and as much a tourist attraction as any other we have.
Perhaps you could be groom of the stool if you asked nicely.
Only estimated? Does no one know?Its estimated the monarchy costs us about £200 million per year and the monarchy in turn generates at least £500 million per year through tourism.
What about all the other costs?
How on earth can anyone calculate what they generate?
Are all visitors asked whether they would have stayed home but for the royal family?
Would we get no tourism without them?
Does France have any tourists?
No, common sense; unfortunately a rarity, especially in your part of the world.are you lot really that miserable and envious that you can’t see the benefit of a Royal Family?
There's nothing I like better than standing to the national anthem in a packed hall and some disloyal sod sitting contemptuously showing disrespect and then seeing him get the schitt kicked out of him outside afterwards.
That's how it should be.
