The hundreds of millions spent on them could actually pay for quite a few nurses.

Wherever you look, it's pretty much impossible to estimate the finances objectively. There's an argument to say that they bring in more than they cost; there's an argument to say the money they are said to bring in would continue without them. Neither argument is provably wrong.

Personally I think they're good for the country.

Haha, surely deep down you can see the value in it being used for prostitution 😄

Life wouldn't be the same without the pomp and ceremony of the royal family. It's great for tourism.

I am a traditionalist, I like historical tradition that the royal family give us.

The government's that we elect do more damage and waste more money than the royals.

Let's get rid of some things that damage the country before we get rid of the royals.

Let's get rid of the green brigade first. How many fines from uefa have they incurred in comparison to the royals??

They dont bring in any money. They dont even work. They are the ultimate benefit scroungers.

In the 21st century there is just no need for them and our taxes should be spent on the public not them.

Yeah typical


Celtic fans all hate the British and the Army and sit behind a keyboard talking about it.

Rangers fans all love the British and rush off to join the Army to show it.

I'm ambivalent about them, tho there's too many on the civil list, debatable if they're value for money.

If Andrew did what he's being accused of in some quarters then the condemnation will be so obvious that it pretty much goes without saying. However, as things stand, anyone in the news would have to be careful because anything they say would be libel/slander. Like what you've put above, only you're far more likely to get away with it on here than Piers Morgan on Twitter. Plus, you know, innocent until proven guilty.

He proved himself guilty with his TV interview tbf, not legally speaking but there's no doubt he did it.

Her one a week or so later was just the nails in the coffin.

One way or another he must be tried. Here or in the US but if that doesn't transpire i'm sure the royals will lose more than a few supporters.

Regardless of the merits of it, how do you actually propose a realistic way of abolitioning the monarchy?
