''The British tourism agency has reported that the royal family generates close to 500 million pounds, or about $767 million, every year in tourism revenue, drawing visitors to historic royal sites like the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, and Buckingham Palace. The country's tourism agency says that of the 30 million foreign visitors who came to Britain in 2010, 5.8 million visited a castle .

Tourism is the third-biggest industry in the U.K., the tourism board claims, and supports about 2.6 million jobs -- or about one in 12. ''


Now, im not a monarchist and not a big fan of them to be honest, but when its blatantly obvious that we as a country benefit from the Royal Family its pretty logical to assume there worth keeping.

Those places wouldn't suddenly all be demolished. Tourists would still visit them without the monarchy.

How about when a Royal Wedding brings in 2 billion to our economy ?

And how much did the royal wedding cost?

Probably a tad less I should think and it was privately paid for by them

Actually, according to some, the cost to the taxpayer was around the £500m mark in administration and the two consecutive 4 day weekends around the event were estimated to have cost the UK economy around the £5bn mark.

Its as if though we know she's shit but is the best of a bad situation so we stick with her. She lives of state hand outs and volunteers her time in the name of others, just as many charity workers spend their entire lives doing yet they have no recognition...oh wait!...I forgot about the OBE's and MBE's which she gives out to those who work ten times harder than she does.

She is the **** of cunts. As soon as Di came along, she realised that Diana was possibly the only person to single handedly take recognition from her and did so with great effect, not on purpose, but because if there was ever a reason for the monarchy, it was the actions of Diana.

Diana cheated on Charles and paid the price. We as a society know this yet the death has been so outrageously denied from those in society who have no vested interests, only the OBE's and MBE's they all work their lives for. If the random person in the street can hire a hitman for a few grand, who can the queen hire?

Her and her family are worse than those you see on the jeremy kyle show, they are no better as they rely on state benefit with one exception, those on jeremy kyle don't care if they have a child with the working class.

Security would have cost a fortune - they did not pay for security.

How can it be privately paid for when the money they have saved in their banks has come from the national wallet?

So the economy is around £3.5b down? All for a Royal Wedding?

All estimates of cost mate, but yeah, whenever politicians want to justify something they talk about the income it brings in and ignore the expenditure or rabbit on about exposure and profile.
Those aren't my figures, They're the Guardians, the Telegraphs and the daily fails, just wanted to show the other side to the argument.

'I was wrong' would have been quicker to type and more accurate.
What is it with you southern cunts - is it hardwired into your DNA to tug your forelock and doff your cap to a family of Nazi-appeasers who are about as English as Brie?
And you elected that Bullingdon albino pissflap as mayor.
The sooner that fucking flood barrier is opened the better.
The north will rise again, as Mark E Smith so succinctly put it.
