Precisely and all the hangers on's estates and palatial accomodation. Plus we wouldn't have to pay for the parasites and we could help the homeless. You're a bit dense Gas aren't you?
Don't waste your time trying to provoke a response by pretending to be a Monarchist, only complete and utter ****tards believe in the divine right to rule, I don't think you fall into that category and you can take that anyway you like.
If you get rid of the Royal Family and sold all thier "property", the national debt woudl be wiped out ...we'd even be in Credit! Same goes for the Pope, sell all his "property" ... you solve world hunger.
Fancy going halfers on Holyrood Palace? We could rent out the rooms to rich Americans, Japs and Chinese.
National debt is around £1.4 trillion. The royal family are worth about £1 billion, the Crown Estate (nominally owned by the monarch but revenue from which goes to Parliament) is worth £8 billion.
And yet tens of thousands of people (including those in work) are having to go to foodbanks every week to feed their children.
Yes, Labour did a very good job of destroying this country but I fail to see how that addresses whether or not the Royals are worth more than the National Debt.
And getting rid of the Monarchy will solve that as well as solving the homeless problem. ****ing hell if we become a republic all our problems will be solved, the streets will be paved with gold
Aye, it was Labour who caused the world financial crises eh? My point is it's obscene that we keep a Royal Family in such opulence while hundreds of thousands struggle to get by. But then, with sycophants like yourself populating the length and breadth of this country (well, mostly England), it's no surprise that they continue to indulge themselves while people like you are happy to scrabble about in fields using your metal detector to find coppers and the odd 50p to get by.
All the queens property is held in trust, apart from balmoral and one other, so she can't sell it....just have to be the biggest dole cheat ever then.
The world's financial crisis isn't what destroyed this country... When Labour came to power, our budget was balanced against our income, there was even a small surplus. Our national debt is now expanding at a rate of £100 billion per year just trying to keep up with the interest payments on the massive debt which Labour created. On the subject of jobs: when Labour were elected it was easy to get a job*, every high street had several recruitment agencies (Blue Arrow, Reed, Manpower, etc). You could walk into one and be out working the next day in a warehouse, driving or similar low skilled jobs. Those agencies have all but gone fromn our high streets. Professional jobs were a lot easier to get too as there were a fraction the number of applicants as there are today. It is a nightmare looking for work now and the pay has gone down relative to inflation. Labour caused that by allowing millions into this country who are keeping British people out of work and driving pay down. That's why there are foodbanks. * at least in the South, I can't speak for the North or Scotland
And hwo much is Buck palace worth ... and her other estates? Add in all the gold n jewels ... cost of transport, security etc I was being faceitous in saying it would wipe out the national debt ... but add it all together, and it make a hefty dent!
Keep the queen if you want ... but downsize her! She only needs one home ... how many bedrooms, 3? 4? Downsize her staff, her security ...
