I have been a republican since serving in the Army. You would get some privileged Rupert, who would be absolutely useless at his job, put in charge of a professional group of men. It makes you think.

PMSL Your boss was a wanker eh? How long did you take the Queens shilling for?

Yes, a clueless one. Only six years, i woke up and stopped being taken for a mug, on crap pay, crap equipment and crap leaders.

We can find money for this as it's coming from the Crown Estate only paying 75% of its profits to HMRC for ten years as opposed to the usual 85%.

This may have been mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread.

You should feel more ashamed that you quite obviously haven't read up on the subject.

Give it a rest mate.
Please stop it , you're embarrassing yourself.

You'll be calling him unpopular if he carries on.

I bet you was only happy when you was moaning.

You could have stuck it out, done your leadership courses, become a respected leader. Stopped taking people who would work for you as mugs and treated them better. Instead you left. Stupid Queen.

I was an NCO, You stay an NCO until your about to retire, when they sometimes pomote you to a captain with no responsibilities. I had no issues with NCO's they run the army and are respected by all.

Just for you. Liz doesn't own the Palace, the Monarch owns the Palace, the Crown Estate doesn't belong to Liz, it belongs to the Monarch. The crown estates profits will be used to pay for it's upkeep. Therefore the Monarch will be paying.

Except for a teeny weeny flaw in your argument.
The Crown Estate profits are paid to the EXCHEQUER. This was agreed by George III to relieve him of the cost of his debts and of running parts of the Government.
The Crown Estate pays 15% of these profits to the Sovereign as a Grant.
" The Grant is to enable the Queen to discharge her duties as head of State............It will also cover of maintenance of the Royal Palaces......." ( see Wiki ).
So it is up to the Monarch to meet the costs of the Buckingham Palace repairs from the grant i.e.from the 15%.
NOT to go go cap in hand to the Exchequer and ask for more money from the Crown Estate profits.
