That’s right yes, after we pay for his fucking hat day he gets a pay rise while we get a cost of living crisis and strikes across the board to get a few pennies.
Fuck the Royal family, take it all off them in my view, don’t let them keep a penny it’s all stolen. They can work in fucking Aldi like normal people.
The royal family bring in a lot more money than they cost. They are a cornerstone of our tourism industry; a critical part of our economy.
That’s why.

Are you really arguing that a 12 year old video justifies a near 50% increase in their income today??
Firstly, they’re hardly a cornerstone. There’s more than just one reason to go on holiday around the UK. People could still go to Buckingham palace. The biggest scroungers in the country just wouldn’t live there on taxpayer money anymore.
Secondly, tourism is hardly the “critical” part of our economy. The finance industry is critical, as if we lost that we’d be genuinely fucked. But tourism? No. It’s more beneficial for seaside towns, which don’t exactly have the royals as an attraction. But if tourism in London, the wealthiest of all the cities in the UK, of all place, slows down a bit (which it wouldn’t - people still go to France after all) then that would be a blip compared to other parts of the economy.
That argument holds no water. Germany and France have bigger tourism industries than Britain. Neither of them have a royal family costing them a fortune.
