Then I thought what does she actually do for the millions that she and her family receive and even more that they control. The easy answer is ‘as little as possible’. This is not to say that she is not very busy opening stuff and waving at adoring crowds (repetitive wrist injury?). She has met with the greatest liar this country has promoted to PM , once a week without a murmur. I was told the constitutional role of the monarch was the over riding reason for its existence. This Prime Minister has made a fool of this and her – as has his lackey Sleaze-Dogg.
Did she ever ask him about the parties at Number 10 – if not why not? I guess the answer to that is that it is not relevant for her to know anything about politics, although the rationale for her existence at the top of our constitution who seem to be otherwise? If she did and he lied – surely she should speak out?
Prince Charles seems harmless enough – but one cannot be sure? Andrew Windsor is an example of the effect of unfettered privilege. the 2 who have gone to America – basically good riddance – seem nice enough, but not for a few million of tax payers money. Can we cancel the few hundred million pound boat or sell it to some spoilt billionaire?
The only concern is the replacement – I rule myself out – too many rooms in any of the palaces to fill with clutter!. We need to have safeguards to prevent a Trump or Johnson. Maybe a job share with a 3 year maximum stretch. Much of the British Public is under the mistaken impression that we are leaders in democracy. But we could show some innovation – replace the House of Lords.
I wonder how many would vote for Charlie and Cami to be our next leaders? Most will never forgive him for eschewing Di. Harry and his missus are an attractive proposition with young kids – but does a few years in the Army qualify one for leadership of the 6th (or possibly just a top 10- Brexit) biggest economy in the world? I guess he has been shown how to wave and shake hands, talk with a funny voice and behave like a puppet. How brilliant would it be to have the snivelling liar present his latest excuses to you and just say ‘Fuck off you stupid two-faced, obnoxious, odious twat”. Maybe I will rule myself back in for just a few weeks! I bet the kitchens are cool.
Selling off a few palaces would help support the NHS – or maybe just nationalise them and employ Sleaze-Dogg as a guide with Doris Dorries selling popcorn if she can be unskilled? Also we could redeploy half the secret service into doing something useful without the need to maintain all those holiday homes and keep them safe. I bet there are loads of people who would spend shed loads to stay at Sandringham, Balmoral, Highgrove, and the rest. Buck Pally would probably be useful for something, whilst Windsor Castle probably has a use? This is fun! The royal train would go, along with a few planes and helicopters too.
The land they ‘own’ or controls immense – so whilst we are at it we could limit anyone to owning more than a few thousand acres – I am not a revolutionary! Various oligarchs and lords and earls can all flee to Caribbean Islands which hopefully can benefit from their residence?
I also reckon there would need to be a subsidy for ribbon makers – with no one to cut the ribbon and talk bollocks for a few seconds – there would be no need. It would also be a good excuse to rid the country of so many charities. Public schools for a start – but do we need 169000?
