King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

All the property turned back to Common Land.
But there are also cultists loving billionaires.
Humans are really stupid.
A European style Monarchy like Sweden or Holland might not be such a bad thing for the UK.
A fifth or a tenth of yearly costs.
Massively reduced lineage, Andrew in Jail.
Land and buildings under public control.

We could make Donald king. Give him all that shit his buddy Chuck gets. And he doesn't set policy.
Worth it, I think.
Be careful what you ask for.
Think about that for a second.
For fear of finding something worse.
Best when we're rid of the whole rotten lot of them...!
#NotMyKing and never will be accepted as such...!

It's owned by Britain, not Charles.
They own Sandringham & Balmoral. They are not publicly funded. Only State owned property is.
Charles pays income tax which he is not obliged to do
Good luck with keeping your democracy, at least you have a written constitution designed to discourage despots.
We never managed to get rid of ours, they just developed good PR lol
A mass event at their next large public engagement would be another example. The protest has to be bigger than the crowd of sycophants. Probably tricky.
Somehow, hundreds of countries around the world maintain a tourism industry without a royal family to drive it.
They still operate as a functioning monarchy, but on a tiny fraction of the cost of ours.

They don't pay taxes the common people are expected to pay.
We also allow them many grace and favour properties (which they also make money from) as well as the properties they own.
Question is - are we getting value for money for what we 'donate' to them?
We solved that problem 2 centuries ago
We have new and exciting problems to deal with that steeping Boston Harbor again won't fix

Politically neutral? Aye right. The monarch opens Parliament, has to agree to government policies in his/her speech.

He does himself no favours
Monarch has to approve WM policies in the speech at opening of parliament etc

Read years ago ..
Queen Mother charged MoD board and lodging for the Royal Marines who travelled on royal yacht on foreign trips
Imagine swimming in wealth and then charging the RNLI to traverse a beach in order to save a life because he claims to own the fucking beach, then not understand why people hate their guts.
An absolute shower of cunts, every single one of them.
The french manage fine without a monarchy when it comes to tourism
And all the palaces will still be there when the parasite royals are gone.
So yes, we should boot them out, retain the Palaces and still make more cash than keeping them.
Paid by the people of the countries ruled by the monarchy. But I know little about all of it

However, they do pay some tax, however minimal: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9807/
The monarchy is a relic, and should be relegated to history. The very idea of inherited "nobility" is repulsive and grotesque. Where is personal merit in such a High and Low caste based system?

I am now a citizen of France.
I know which I prefer.
Abolish billionaires! Now!
Leave my royal family alone.

Instead of fighting to abolish monarchy that didn’t do anything bad to you and yours, you better fight against oligarchy, hoarding $$, trump & his camarilla that will bring devastation to the world and to you particularly no matter where you live.
We will have to agree to differ. To me he’s a privileged individual of little or no use to the nation, relative to the cost of keeping him and his family in luxury.
Don't pay for them? Your opinion is irrelevant!
Said it's irrelevant!!!
