If only we had a section where current events are reported and discussed.

They actually bring a lot of money into this country !!!

Not like the ones that breed like rats , and just hold their hand out !
They are the one's I object to !
People don't seem to realise we can't just keep paying for scroungers !

They breed !!!!

Soon there will be more holding there hands out , than there will be people who actually contribute .
Then what will happen ?????

well we could start by saving 40 million just by cutting this lot off . that isnt even thier security just what they get to keep them in luxary . come off it m8 no-one can justify this money . and let me tell you somthing i go to london a few times a year and its not for the royals . tourists would still come in thier droves as its a great city to visit .

40m/year for the Royal family. Bargain, thought it cost more than that. They will easily recoup that kind of money 10 ten fold.

Totally agree there m8. Great value for money. They dont just bring in tourists countryboy, they bring in foreign trade and investments besides the billions in tourism.

Besides that the revenue from the Crown estates paid over 200 million to the government last year so 40 million to keep it going is buttons.

66p in the name of goodness how can anyone complain about that, you pay more tax on a litre of petrol than that.
