    Waste of money?




    Ps. Don't give me any bollocks about tourism btw, France gets far more tourists than Britain and they had their Royals heads off centuries ago.

    Don't mind them really, but id prefer an opt in scheme for the civil list instead of tax money just being given to them

    The dumbasses in England and Rangers fans in Scotland and Merdo's of the Irish north would rather spend money on the Royals than hospitals, teachers etc. then sit around complaining about how ****e everything is.

    Even the women?

    That would explain a few things right enough.

    We don't need more hospitals. If anything, we have too many! More Royal functions boost morale if anything.

    The problem is, if you remove the Royal Family, then you'll probably end up with a President as an alternative to the monarch.
    It won't be any cheaper.

    There are other reasons to remove the monarchy, but finances isn't one of them, in my opinion.

    Why would we have to have a President?

    One President would cost the same as several Royals?

    Good one.

    One President, all of his hangers on and the elections that would be needed to select them.
