The British Monarchy

[gordondaviesmoustache]

And would you have as much admiration of her if she was the same person but without an inherited title?

That’s very difficult for anyone to answer completely honestly, but I find funny women hugely attractive and believe she had innate integrity and was ultimately benign, so my best stab at an answer, broadly speaking, is yes, with the caveat that I’d probably be less inclined to consider those traits or comment upon them if she was a civilian.

Wankers

 

[urban genie]

freeloading cunts mainly take more back than they give
friends and family of nonces
outdated elitist system not fit for the modernage
inbred
possibly linked to murder ;-)
ones of the cunts is a villa fan


no redeeemong factors, strip.thl of the titles and fuck em off onto the streets

 

[urban genie]

let the cunts carry on being slum landlords but with stritch proerty rules and fines for the state of some of their properties
let them keep the duchy of lancashire and cornwall as it is privately owned, but now take away the tax exemptions

Imediately stop the soverign grant and use the 500M to help the economic deficit and heat pensioners homes.

Imediately make it so all crown estates prifits go into the treasury not only a %

move every one of them into buckingham palace and make the rest into public parks/tourist attractions not private houses, you don't need a palce or mansion each you wankers

The Monarchy is a money-making scheme. That’s all it’s ever been.

The absolute state of the country but the royals have to make their millions regardless.

I have mentioned previously in this thread about the book by Norman Baker which explains, amongst other things, the unique tax & money making benefits the royal family ‘enjoy’
It’s a very good, well researched book which I thoroughly recommend to anyone who has an interest in understanding the workings of the royals & how we, the tax payers, are getting well & truly mugged.

Which is the way it should be. The aristocracy shouldn't exist at all, never mind be afforded privileges the rest of us aren't.

Slum landlords being excused by their toadies on TV.

"I'm sure princes wouldn't have known and will act accordingly..."

I like them, I think they do a great job and bring in more money to the country than they cost.
