mormont Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 The Royal family's wealth relies on a somewhat arbitrary distinction between property they hold 'privately' and property that is owned by the state. Since all of that property stems from their Royal inheritance, the distinction is rather artificial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they’re basically the mascots of the country, there’s no good reason to subsidize their lifestyle in such a way. I'd go a step farther and say there's no good reason to maintain the monarchy. It's an institution built on the basis of genetic superiority. There's no defending it in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Either he doesn’t get the reference, but still presumes to lecture Irish people about Ireland, or he does, and still chose to toast a terrorist organisation who’ve committed murderous acts on British soil, for £87.

The Anti-Targ Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi price has come down a bit then. He'll now say anything you want for £87. At the same time as going on Irish TV and exposing his ignorance by comparing the English rule over Ireland to being a member of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be arbitrary in their day to day lives since they have the use of the castles and palaces and jewelry and art that are owned by the state, but when the time comes that the monarchy is abolished, the monarch is only worth about $600M and only privately owns a handful of those residences/jewels/art. $600 million net worth makes the queen not even one of the richest people in the UK.

mormont Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 It's arbitrary in that the source of all that wealth is the same, and in my view the idea that some of it is 'privately' owned is a distinction without a difference. When the monarchy's abolished, we should seize it along with the rest. Slightly spicy take, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The Crown Estate is one of the biggest landowners in Britain. In addition, Prince Charles is the biggest individual landowner in the country, though the hypocritical cunt is refusing to rewild his vast estates.

It appears you’re trying to argue people should feel sorry for a woman whose been given a life of absolute luxury for at best playing a government mascot—a position she didn’t have to earn by doing anything other being born. 10 hours ago, Spockydog said: I see Arlene Foster is being honoured for her services to religious bigotry. And they’re honoring a terf group founded to keep schools from helping trans or queer kids. It’s disgusting on how quickly the situation on trans rights is regressing.
