i'm so pleased my hard earned...

Two wrongs don't make a right.

And what's all this 63p bollocks? A rather contrived figure one suspects.

 

63p from each taxpayer. How much to they cost the state?

 

It's a silly argument and the people saying get rid of The Royal Family need to do their research before jumping on a bandwagon, because if you do you'll find that getting rid of them would make us worse off.

Still bollocks apoligies please Stereo.

 

What a crock of ****e. How the **** do they make us a profit? How much tax do these parasites pay on the estates which belong to them for no other reason than a quirk of fate?

 

yeah we'll have a prat like obama, practically dictator, taking 10 golf holidays a year.

 

exactly queen victoria USED to live there. but it still attracts visitors, kind of destroys your argument

and do they make us a profit? If they werent there and we lost say a small percentage of tourism would that loss be greater than what we pay them?

 

That article was from 2009.

 

What a dumbass

Have you actually read that article?

 

i figure no doubt made up to appease the british public when the royals credentials are brought up

"i dont see the point of them"

"but they only cost you 63 p a year"

"oh, alright then"

bastards. i wouldnt be surprised if they cost twice that. even £1.50!!!!!!!! thieving scroungers

 

Yes 69p what is the big deal? That's what it costs people on here.

 

A monarchy is an antiquated regime where the Head of State is only in that position because of the family they were born into. There is absolutely no accountability there. It is time for a democratically elected Head of State.

 

we had that with blair and have with cameron.

obama is just a mouthpiece (as are all US presidents) the decisions are made by others

 

And just to sweeten this deal anyone bitching is a tool READ THIS!!

they dont belong to them, thats the point. the crown estates, which belonged to the royal family, was given to the state and all profits made (£200MILLION A YEAR) are put directly in the treasury.
if you want to moan about the royals, at least moan about something proper, like minor royals beatrice and eugenie spending £1500 a day on stylists. i am pro monarchy, but only to an extent, only direct descendants should be HRH's.

 

Hear Hear people on here like jordan, Alan and Stereo have no clue and jump on the bandwagon.

 

What a dick. Again, please show us a proper breakdown of the figures (inc. the costs which aren't included).

Oh, and let's assume it £40m. I would much rather that went to teachers, nurses etc. than a bunch of inbred weirdos.

 

Obama is the reason America's reputation has slightly improved in the last few years.

 

Harry isnt even ****in royalty, he is the product of diana giving it up to hewitt

little ****er even looks like him
