Also FACT, the Royal family brings in £ billions of revenue ever year from tourism, politicians do not.

So next time people complain about about how much money taxpayers money goes on the Royal family, do some fact checking first and just stop listening to biased newspapers and media sites.1
It's not just the huge drain on the taxpayers, it's also that we get nothing worthwhile in return.

Lizzie is only a titular head of state. She has no actual power, she can only do what Parliment tell her to do. It's the same with the family. A dead weight to this country.

They thrive on tradition, a thing worth zilch, and propaganda.

Today around 37% of the population now want shut of her and her lot and that number is on the rise. The ONLY use Lizzie has been ever is by her presence she kept The Westminster Gargoyle, "zippy" Blair from being able to claim to be the countries first lady.

Really? How about the costs of providing security to them? The cost of the formal guards, the cost of losses because of the ludicrous tax avoidance that is nowhere near offset by the peppercorn amount they pay in order to quieten the plebs, the absence of inheritance taxes and so very much more.

Well at least there is one less now with the disgrace of this dumbo half wit.
Hopefully we will hear the last of his financially incontinent wife and daughters both have had vast amounts of tax payers money from birth .

In fact it will be best if he just takes himself off somewhere and lies low.

I think the queen will be slipping him some pocket money.

Plus, didn't the Duke of Windsor get some sort of government pension when he exchanged the crown for 'lurve'?

Or of course Andrew could make a fortune writing his memoirs.
