Fugg the Queen and all the Royals on the planet

60. Yeah well my cousins live there and whenever the topic comes up they just sneer.

I kind of agree when I behold their bloated lifestyle on one side while they shake a tin cup for taxpayer subsidies on the other.

Maybe they should liquidate some land holdings or pawn a couple of "granny's chips" to pay their own way. It's kind of funny to see some of the arguments here justifying the concept of monarchy as a paid tourist attraction which offsets it's own subsidy with tourist revenue.

It seems the main argument for royalty is becoming like our own case for taxpayer backed billion dollar football stadiums. Both provide entertainment and distraction at the expense of education, healthcare and infrastructure. Both of them are ridiculous on the face of it. You've got to wonder if the queen wakes up in the morning and says 'I wonder if this is the day they'll all realize how absurd this is?' I bet she does.
