Actually, they do cost a huge amount of money but since the death of Diana they have hired a new set of spin doctors that are marvellous at giving the impression that the Royals are at the fabric of the British economy. Lie number one is that it costs us only xx pence per person. They conveniently fail to mention that the figure is based on the entire populaion and not just tax payers. Lie number two is that tourists would stop coming if there was no monarchy. Anyone who has lived in Edinburgh (like me!) will quickly tell you how rubbish that argument is. We get millions of tourists flocking here to the Royal palaces etc. but no Royals live in them. Lie number three is all the hidden costs that aren't included or the fact that royals like Charlie are being subsidised by us while actually making money from their lands and other businesses. In my opinion that's even worse than people who work f-t yet fraudulently claim benefits. Why should I subsidise people who own half the land of this country (and more abroad) and have riches and lifestyles I can only dream of?
It's not true! I said his foreskin was a fetid, rancid, putrid menace he invited me to a party (for 2) and am going
Johnny Foreigner: Well, I quite like the pageantry. This may well be the last one as well ... Interviewer: do you have any right to tell people on here what to do? Johnny Foreigner: not sure ...did you lot accidentally invade my country and steal the best land for retired civil servants and aristos who didn't want to live in England and making sure we gave your monarchy mineral rights as well as land that doesn't belong to them in the first place? Interviewer: well I guess that settles it then STFU! Johnny Foreigner: thanks, being treated as a second class citizen has rarely been more fun.
Topics about the royal family always seem to start heated debates and that's to be expected i suppose considering history and the money.It's all so very easy to lose focus and get side tracked into talking about the politics,expense and inconvienience that the heart of the matter gets missed.... So with all that in mind....Will she take it up the wrong un on her wedding night?
She's just a breeding pig anyway. Push out a couple of sprogs and that's her job done. The whole family's ****ed up. Everyone knowns Edward is gayer than Christmas yet he's forced to get married. As for Harry's paternity...
I like the bit where they have to check the sheets to make sure the sordid act has happened and then display said soiled sheets from the balcony at Buckingham House for the assorted plebians to whoop and hollah.
To be fair I think they stopped doing that. Mind you they should reintroduce it, it's be cracking on News at 10.
i suspect you are right. After all, us Catholic army hating Celtic supporters had better stick together eh?
A simpler solution presents itself, maybe I should just conform to slapme's norm and start supporting Rangers or tugging my invisible forelock in the general direction of the Royals?
So who's better - the Royal family or the Pope? Theres only only 1 way to find out....have a football match in say......Glasgow.....
If they were playing in my back garden I would not even bother opening the curtains. It would be a drab 0-0 draw in all likelihood.
