They pay 40% tax voluntarily unlike a lot of politicians. Inheritance tax for them was abolished by John Major in the 80s so as not to water down the properties which ultimately we all own.
If you abolish them what next....Buckingham Palace owned by the Russians and turned into a brothel, Balmoral owned by the Saudis because they like to shoot grouse and stags, the germans would probably buy Sandringham and turn it into a spar. How much revenue from it all would find its way back into the UK? Nowt.
And when it's gone it's gone. I don't want to be equal with them, I want them to be the envy of the world, which they are.
Plus head of state? Liz Truss, Boris just look at the states, do you think their leaders are equals or pay their taxes....

Thats what you get for being disrespectful, I'm no royalist but I respect the monarchy and the history, I may have my opinions but there is a way to be dignified about it. Fair play Rab.

I'm not a royalist neither a republican.....im a person knows nothing about the way royals/hierarchy live or operate, so I'm not gonna comment on their lifestyles.
I only comment on something i half know anything about......and that aint much.
If he wants to profess his negativity, then im sure there are plenty forums that can accommodate him.Last edited by RBH; 20-09-2022, 09:43 PM.

even the anti monachy brigade contributed to the tourism in London
