Monarchy

[Arniepie]

Apologies.

My point was a rather flippant one in reference to the absurdity of people giving even more money to an insanely wealthy and privileged family, when more and more people are struggling to heat and feed themselves.

Leave them to go to rack and ruin like Versailles or the Louvre? Or Hampton Court? Or the Tower of London?

 

Don't really understand the point you're making. Those properties need upkeep too. The annual budget of Versailles and its estate, for instance, is 100 million euros, some of which comes via a state grant.

You're surely not too dense to get the very obvious point?

 

A former royal palace becomes an asset to the nation's tourist industry. Being fully open to the public, it generates revenue for itself (on which it pays tax) and for the local economy (restaurants, pubs, taxis, hotels, etc.). There is no economic argument for stopping Buckingham Palace, etc. from fulfilling their potential as a tourist asset.

 

(Historic Royal Palaces in 2019/20 had an operating surplus of £23.3m.)

But they already generate money as tourist assets.

Wouldn't we have to pay for the upkeep of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle etc even if the royals weren't living there?

The point - again - is that the answer to this question is a very clear "No".

 

If those places didn't have anyone living in them, they could generate more tourist revenue, because they could be opened up to more tourists.

Turn them in to a 'View of Britian's Past' theme park.

 

Put a fucking log flume outside Buck House and charge Yanks £80 a ticket, there'd be queues around the Mall.

 

Send the lizards to live on Christmas Island.

Looks like one of you has been shaming us in Facebook groups again.

Umm, no. No they wouldn't.

I was perusing Twitter and saw the #princeofpegging, so thinking it could be funny, I immediately clicked on it. 
 

Allegedly Prince William is having an affair with one of Kate Middleton’s friends, Rose Hanbury, which Kate is  fine with because she’s not down with William’s particular fetish of being pegged, while Rose is more than happy to oblige.

 

Although Kate was tremendous in her day, I reckon she’s become all “missionary with the lights off” since she’s had kids. 
 

I like Rose, he looks to have a mischievous glint in her eye…

 

The happy trio…

 

 

Anyway, as you were…

[Bjornebye]

#princeofpegging is trending on twitter 

[Strontium]

I knew he'd been coming up Rose's for years, but that's pretty funny.

[Section_31]

So she bums him or he bums her? I'm confused. Rule Britannia.

All rumours of course. There's been a rumour that he's been goosing a close friend of theirs for a while now. As we speak Meghan Markle will be burning orphans in an incinerator while wearing a 13 thousand pound Gucci dress the same colour as one Diana had while facetiming Kate calling her a slag.

So who's bumming who? Is she bumming him with a dildo?

 

The private school system has a lot to answer for. Did none of these lads have a Mega Drive?

No, but Rose Hanbury has.

She should peg him with the Lust implement from SE7EN, then move on to pegging some other Royals.

They do need taking down a peg or two.

Bet William is into sounding as well.
