Watch that, then tell me if you still think they are tax sponges.

As for loyalty towards the crown, does the royal family have any political power ?



I love how people get bent out of shape if you say the royals are a tax sponge. They are a tourist attraction... probably the only decent one we have.

I'm guessing 1776.

The irony of the USA celebrating the birth of a future king of Great Brtitain is not lost on us.

Unfortunately, the US celebrates and burns all that the media tells us to Ugh It just depends on which media outlet the individual listens to as to which you are doing on any individual topic..... and yes there is neo-conservative media in the States, just not a whole lot of it.

Could you tell us more about their systems ?


As I understand their systems, they basically have a KIng or Queen, who is the only one paid by the government, the rest of the blue blood hanger ons have to work like real people do. Also they don't own great tracts of land which they use to inflate their already obscene wealth.
Hell, the way the American make a fuss over our Royals, I don't know whey we just don't 'Transport' them all to our ex-colony and see if they can still sponge off folks as they do over here.

The monarchy is a soap opera for people too snobbish to buy heat magazine.

I wonder why it's taking so long to get a picture of the lizard hatchling, they are probably having trouble calibrating its hologram.

But then Diana died in vain!

After all, the MI6 killed her to prevent William having a half-brother called exactly that. (Unless an Audi corporate assassin did it, of course...)

Im also against the monarchy but I must say Oliver Cromwell was a raving loony who is not respected outside of england and wales. I must remind you he was the man who led the English conquests to take Ireland and he was turning his sites on Scotland when England had its little rebellion in the 1650s

The french had the right idea but please do not quote the ravings of a madman towards a cause I support :D.

Also the numbers used in that youtube video are extremely inflated im no t saying the monarchy arnt financially positive but they are not nearly as profitable as that video suggests.

But hey! They should call the kid Muhammad just to confuse the scum at the Daily Mail

UK should also be thankful for the tourist dollars the Monarchy generates for the Islands.

Hey I never said Oliver Cromwell was a good guy. He just proved that even a raving madman can have the occasional good idea

I see you didn't watch the video I linked. If you did, you would know that the profit from their vast tracks of lands goes to the UK government, not to increase the wealth of the Royal family. Then the UK government pays them less than than the profits from those lands. End that arrangement and the amount the UK government has to spend goes down, unless they raise taxes for everybody.

But you make it sound like the other systems have the king or queen paid from taxes, with no money flowing from their properties to the government. Meaning that if that arrangement is ended, those governments have more money to spend.

George Zimmerman

They never called him that in the media, it was sirname only. And Trayvon, first name....

The Georgian era was good for us, as has been our current Elizabethan. If it was a girl I would have hoped for Victoria, though an Edward would be amusing.... especialy with a data Corgie... Blink

Anyone else thinm Charles is going to be a spot crap given his involvement in political matters? Might be better if the throne went straight to William. Which reminds me, will Kensington take over the role of Buckingham when the crown is passed on?

To be fair, he speaks a lot of sense and its a very hard act to follow. The queen and the duke are probably the most liked world leaders in history.

He promotes homeopathy, and gets infrastructure cancelled as he doesn't like the architecture.
