More Royal Shenanigans...

[Whitespirit66]

So, that's conclusive then. If we want 50 million more tourists, we become a republic.

No...

It just shows that the 'they pay their own way' argument is a load of b*llocks!

Get rid of the scrounging family and leave the buildings intact as a memorial to our historical follies!

We got the Millenium Dome for that.

The royals are a big draw that encourages people and their money to visit the UK.

Tourist visits 2011:

France 79.5 million
UK 29.2 million

Guess which country got rid of their parasites...

On the other hand,

Tourists visits 2011

UK 29.2 milliom
Greece 16 million

You can do anything with figures.

Indeed you can...

Greece gets more visitors than it's population, yet we get half of ours...

Again...Guess which other country got rid of their parasites?
