We would lose trillions in tourism. Americans and Oriental Asians will not come if there isn't a Royal Disneyland in-which they are obsessed with.Joey wrote:Scrap the monarchy and designate their funds to curbing climate change.
You cannot live in a proper democracy with a unelected head of state. The ruling elite of the country starts at the royal family, we cannot expect to free of the class system and live in an equal society while they exist. Once the celebrity culture that currently plagues our society ends, maybe people will realise that our culture, money and power should not lay in the hands of a dictatorial monarchy.Ralph wrote:Crazy....Joey wrote:Scrap the monarchy .

Apologies - the amount you go on about how society and the economy and policy is better in the US I thought you'd turned American at heart.Ralph wrote:I'm EnglishRegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:

Your neighbours over there moan about paying taxes for roads and healthcare, and you expect us over here to pay taxes for the Royal Family land and property upkeep?
The Queen is one thing, but when the 40th in line to the throne are still living in tax-payer funded country estates it is a bit much.

My taxes and yes I do say that there are far too many hangers-on in the wider Royal Family living off my taxes.
Queen and the big-guns do bring in a lot of tourism revenue etc, but I doubt the Earl of Nobody walking his dogs round his subsidised land in Lincolnshire is on the Japanese tour-bus route.
Talk about benefits street - vast swathes of the UK are benefits fields.
If you disagree please state why and provide some sort of evidence like an adult.

I have zero interest in increasing your post count still further by discussing anything with you.. You took the first shot and i'm not bitingRegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:

Nothing to do with post count - just trying to see if you can make a sensible point to back up a statement. Which it appears you cannot.
