Please click on the link to Highway Man's post which I quoted

The photo above really is the one he said that about.

Please stop accusing me of making deliberately offensive or provocative posts with the aim of upsetting people or eliciting an angry response from them simply because you don't like me disagreeing with you or your clique.

You are sticking that label on again with super glue.

So you think I should sit quietly by, and meekly let people accuse me of making deliberately offensive or provocative posts with the aim of upsetting people or eliciting an angry response from them simply because they don't like me disagreeing with them or their clique?

You think that the honest, decent, moral thing to do is to allow the situation where people accuse me of trolling and then twist me defending myself into proof that the accusation was right?

morqthana said:
Gladly.

Stop ping ponging with your obsessive needing to portray me as a troll when you think I am wrong.

So let's see.
You wait until you think everyone is asleep so you can post your trolling un challenged and then in your sick twisted head you think you have "won"
You have some serious mental issues. Please seek professional help.

"A spokesperson for the Crown Estate said: 'Unlike the Duchy of Cornwall, The Crown Estate manages land and seabed on behalf of the nation and is required to generate a return for the public purse, meaning we cannot provide the use of our land or property at a cost to taxpayers.

Strangely enough amongst others they also charge Government departments, Councils, the NHS, Armed Forces, Colleges, Prisons etc

So they take money from tax payer funded departments in order to 'make a profit' and are exempt from most taxes like CGT and Corporation Tax...

Yet still claim to be run on a commercial basis...

Maybe you could tell us whether you think the Army should be forced to pay for using UK land to train for the defence of the UK?

After all it is in theory state land...

And one NHS trust is being charged over £11m to store ambulances!

In addition the level of profit made by the Crown Estate is used as a benchmark to calculate the funding given by the government to the Royal Family in the form of the Sovereign Grant, which of course is rising...

So the taxpayer helps produce a profit and then taxpayer money is handed back to the royals...

If you can't see how perverse the system is, then there is no hope for you!

Most of the profit comes from "land" fees for off-shore windfarms.

Nonsense.

The Royals (unlike the pitiful RWR misers on here) offer their unwavering support for the RNLI.

Which of course are charged back to consumers by companies which make profits and in theory pay taxes as commercial organisations...

Which the Crown Estates of course do not...

It's also interesting that they also make a fair bit from mineral and drilling rights which go against the claimed ideals of the king...

So the amount that the RNLI gets charged doesn't lower the amount of revenue they have available?

Doesn't sound like nonsense to me

Do you know how much the Royals donate or generate through direct fundraising support?

That's because you have a short attention span and read the headinle and ignore the rest.

charitable spend, rather than revenue. But your point is valid. The king is taxing them.

Do you?

Anyway, any money they might donate is in effect taxpayers money anyway

How much do they fundraise for the RNLI? Or was it like your efforts?

Seems a bit less generous to "support" a charity, with money they paid you in ground rent.

No. But if the Royal patronage is anything to by, I'd say they are positive financially for the RNLI. A bit like miser f-boi and miser MBK.

The other bit that is in question is how much is royal patronage really worth?

Do people actually give more money to a charity that has 'royal' in it's name than they would have done without that reference?

Or is it the cause that interests people?
