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.
Vive la France!
Why do they get this money?
Why do they get any money? And from the tax payer?
This seems so fucking archaic to me.
Long long ago, some dead people got other dead people to kill people who are now dead. Obviously, This means this man gets a bunch of cash and owns a bunch of stuff.
All royalty are just the descendants of criminals really, who murdered and thieves their way to the top.
Oh but the tourism!
This is the Britain we all dream of… isolated and desperate, wheeling out archaic practices and dressing in silly hats in the hope that foreigners might think it all hilarious enough to throw us a few coins.
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.
Off with their heads
I don’t recall voting for this guy.
You don’t vote for kings!
Well, how do you become king then?
Damp women in ponds, distributing swords if I remember correctly.
Something like that. Someone say “moistened bint” and we’ll call it a day.
Would you accept ‘Watery tart’?
That’ll do nicely.
Meanwhile, the government can only offer a poultry paltry 6% pay increase to junior doctors.
Also note that the civil service / government departments and arms length bodies (like Kew Gardens, British Library, British Museum, Research Councils, met office, etc) do not have independent pay review bodies and bargin individually for thier pay, has not been mentioned in this. Given this government it is highly likely that it will not, and the civil service will still be at 2009 pay for alot more work. We have not forgotten the being essential for covid ansld then trying to sack 20% of us while cutting severance packages (currently resolved by recent strike action).
Lol
Is this the Tories giving the King a raise before they get swept out of power?
There should be a referendum about this.
