Absolutely Tom, with you 100%
On a scale of freeloaders currently bleeding the UK they don't even register .
The royals do more than their share to attract revenue :wink:
yes its antiquated but also a great benefit to our country , think the younger ones from Di down have done a lot to change opinion of typical anti royalist like myself
I would vote to keep them as they are 8)

If they were to be more like the royal family of the Netherlands it would be better. Broadly they don't register that much.

Most of the royals do great work, they give our country HUGE identity for what they cost.
Did you take the ///M?

No unfortuneatly, i was in my dads 5 series. People taking pictures of you thinking you might be someone famous is a bit weird.
I voted for.
That doesn't mean that I like them. Charlie will not be paying any inheritance tax on the 500 million personal fortune left by the Q on her sad demise. They are certainly not in it together with anyone I have ever met. They are basically rich chavs. Kill animals for fun, wouldn't know a days work if it bit them in the bum, and their social cachet perpetuates a dreadful class based and hideously snobby society.
All the same, I find having a constitutional monarchy less nauseating than the idea of having to vote for some pompous and self satisfied fat bottomed old white bloke like Lord Wxxxxn and having him represent us as UK President to the world in general.
Just sayin...
rant over
and probably came over as a lot stronger than I feel.
But not bothered wouldn't be true.

Put the money towards "Road Tax".
We make a massive profit on the Royal Family. Each year they take less than 13million and the Crown Estate pays over 240m in profit to the chancellor. The estate is no longer the property of her maj, she handed it over to a specially created trust fifty years ago. The Civil List self finances and a lot more. Complaining about the 12.7m (IIRC) is not really justifiable.
