Re: Royal trip to Pakistan
Perhaps the anti Royalists would like to be governed by Stalin and end up in the Gulag or Salt Mines if the dare complain.Or, even Mao-Tse tung who burned all Books and Art works and only allowed Artists to paint his ugly face.
Also 40 million people died of starvation under his rule,while he lived of the fat of the land
Many Countries without Royalty spend much more their Heads of State than the UK spend on the Royal family.

I don’t know that countries without RF do spend more .
They don’t have extended families .
Also their head of state has usually done something to merit his position .
Hereditary royals have done nothing at all .
Merely a lottery of birth.

A country that is an anachronism and the only reason the vast majority have to sleaze their way into is to access our ridiculously over generous "Benefits" hand outs.

The annual salary on offer will be at least £22,076 ($27,629) before tax, although if the successful candidate chooses to accept an offer of live-in accommodation and meals, that figure would be adjusted downward"
They're tight as a ducks arse - and that of nessecity has to be watertight.
