i agree that cutting education is bad news, and no government should ever take away chances for our young people. It is their world next
and we are handing it over in a pretty shit state of affairs anyway. we have an increasing number of old people, and i will be one of them :lol:
They also deserve to have good services
so where do we save money??? already snipped away at the NHS (not enough leeches anymore to go round) i think our royal family need to
go
hmmm maybe the same way the french got rid of theirs
That's great and all, but the Royal Family makes a massive overall profit for the nation.
Get rid of them, you lose a MASSIVE chunk of tourism income - then there's the intangible diplomatic bonus of having an emissary as experienced as the Queen.
I have to acknowledge they do generate a massive tourist revenue, but that is due to the great interest people around the world have in our history. If we made them 'history' we could open up Buckingham Palace, Sandringham etc as museums. I wouldn't really behead the royals (well not all of them
) and i could see charles doing a great job with a microphone on top of an open deck bus doing tours...
The Queen is dutiful. Hardworking. Works extra hard to make up for her blithering idiot of a husband! He is just embarrassing. Some of the stuff he has said in public!!
eg. on the debate about traffic in London he piped up “The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion.” and he has also said "If you travel as much as we do you appreciate how much more comfortable aircraft have become. Unless you travel in something called economy class, which sounds ghastly."
Do we really need assholes like this as Heads Of State. If we got rid of them tomorrow think what could be done with the billions of pounds of assets they are sitting on?
