Quote from: Houdini on October 03, 2006, 10:26:07 amThat's 40.3 million a year every year. which is peanuts. Compare that to the amount shit like Carousel fraud costs the UK each year, estimated to be around £8.5billion. Wheres the public campaign to get rid of the dodgy VAT fraud gangs that cost each of us nearly £150 a year? Personally I think the monarchy are an important part of our heritage and should be supported. Most of them work bloody hard at a difficult job that I wouldn't want to do. Has anyone thought how much the royal family generates purely from foreign tourists? Look at it this way, I'd happily pay 62p a year so our country continues to be more culturally and historically interesting than republics. And it keeps 9toes in work. Bargain.
