The Queen in Manchester today

[WNRH]

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The Queen in Manchester today

It will always be the queens gaff. Just question whether it mattered that she still lived there.

It's the most important thing. Yanks and other tourists won't spend hundreds of millions coming to a country where Royalty used to live and reign. Get rid of the monarchs and in 50 years London would not be a tourist attraction it is now.

How do you know this? How many of them see any of the royal family on their visits.

Thousands visit Manchester, York, bath, Edinburgh etc with no royal palaces to see. And as I've said the palaces would still be there to visit.

Their are many cities all over the world that do not have living monarchs that welcome many visitors.

Prague for example has former royal palaces you can look round. Can you say that people don't visit as their isn't a living queen living there.

Why would they come to London? The weather? A big clock? They come because of the aura of a living monarch that is famous around the world. I bet if you were to do a survey of why are you going to London or why did you go to London and the answer "because that's where the queen lives" or "to see the queen" would come out on top by the vast majority.

In 50 years time will people still visit the Cavern Club and Liverpool in their thousands like they do now?

Don't have a problem with the Royal Family.

Cost the taxpayer 64p each last year - or something like that, yet i bet they'll bring in millions in tourism.

That figure is per person not per taxpayer. Also it doesn't include any security costs which will be tens of millions.

It does include money for rent on royal land. That's land they have laid claim to and charge people.to.use. And it also includes £10m they pay to butlers chauffeurs cleaners etc.

I disagree. I think they will say to go to see buckingham palace which they still could do.

The cavern - yes of course they will. Do people still visit graceland?

 

[Balti]

the idea that all these yanks coming to larnden and spending money in theatreland etc somehow improves life and finances for the masses is laughable

lets be honest it would make no difference whatsoever to the vast majority of us if the country fucked them off

on the other hand it would make no difference if they stay either so...........

meh, let it be

but if I can have a significant tax cut or reductions in the price of food and petrol if they fuck off then yeah get rid

Yes but i would bet that those people that visit Graceland today are the people who were adults when Elvis was alive. In 50 years time when today's Graceland visitors are either very old or dead will our generation and our children's generation and even their children's generation still be visiting the place? I doubt it.

The Queen, 85, works more hours , pays more tax , creates more jobs and raises more money for charity than you , all through an accident of birth , her sense of duty after the death of her father is her motivation.

you've missed my point,

why should she get the opportunity over anyone else? i could be even better than her in that job, you never know.accident of birth? it's still this ridiculous notion that the royal family has been chosen by some made up man in the sky. we all know that's bullshit so why should they have this life of luxury?

and i'm not sure about "working" more hours. has she ever done 7am-5pm in a factory 6 days a week doing manual labour? or has she just gone round visiting loads of places on the back of the tax i pay? there's plenty of 85 year old women that have worked for 60 years and i mean real work and are now living on peanuts, you don't see wanna be middle class sheep waving and snapping pictures at them.

i understand they create money and do a lot of good but my problem is why them? why not bob from next door? it's the same with footballers, you get people saying "oh james milner is such a great guy and a model proffesional"- no he's just a guy who's talented and he realises he needs to get on with his job with minimal fuss just like 90+% of other people who work and considering the money he's on and the fact it's something he enjoys then so he should.

oh and jonny crossan, i'm nobodies loyal subject.

You are quite correct it is outdated, unfair and a little absurd, but I still think it works quite well and provides a useful role for our society which an elected head of state would not be able to emulate.

I do think the scope and reach of the Royal Family needs to be looked at once The Queen dies with a scaling down to a Scandinavian or Dutch model, however.

i agree it does good, but my feelings are that if you can't justify why somebody is better than somebody else then they aren't.

my nans 1000000x better than the queen IMO.
