Personally I don"t give a s*** & I think a lot of people agree with me! The Royals are a complete waste of time & money & have no place in modern society!

Don't we have a new NEWS & POLITICS Thread for this. Yep, this thread should really be in news and politics. What can you do? *shrugs Have a congratulations cap doffing type thread in general talk. I wish them the best, but to be honest I was more excited about the fact that Bunk from the Wire plays her father in that tv show what she was on .

It's exactly what is was – until surprise, surprise – you turned it political by mentioning "brown skinned immigrants" and "benefits". You really can't help yourself can you.

Guessing this'll be unpopular on the HOL. But f*** the Monarchy. 300 million a year of taxpayers money that is apparently only justifiable by "tourism". If people genuinely feel the tourism we gain solely from the royal family brings our economy up to a net gain, I'd really question their reasoning. The value of the monarchy as a brand to this country is immense and easily outstrips the direct costs of maintaining it. Comments in the media tend to either approve or disapprove depending on which way the newspaper swings but independent research by brandfinance.com gives an interesting picture. Next years' royal wedding plus a royal birth will be worth a substantial amount to the country's economy both directly and indirectly

Edited by Penge Eagle (28 Nov 2017 5.42am) Wen I wasn't the first person to politicize the thread. You yourself said there will be teething problems with some crossover (I paraphrase) and you'd see how things went. Bit heavy handed if you ask me, but c'est la vie. Let's hope you are even handed.

Not that I care for the royals but that is a slightly misleading fact. Doesn't Buckingham Palace open for roughly 60 days a year?
