So is it now that the queen is dead that it's ok to say stuff like this? Because I remember all kinds of people on this site saying "having the Royal family brings in more money for Britain than they cost" a few years ago. If anyone brought up how stupid the idea of paying taxes to this family is, you would absolutely get shut down and be called an idiot.
Majority of "royal family" aren't even british to begin with. The only one worse than them are idiots fan club people who cheer, cry or whatever in front of their castles.
wikipedia: "Today, in Commonwealth realms, Crown land is considered public land and is not part of the monarch's private estate." It's effectively government land, so what's the issue here? the royal family does not profit off crown land, the government does.
wikipedia: "Today, in Commonwealth realms, Crown land is considered public land and is not part of the monarch's private estate." It's effectively government land. So no, chuck does not own 16% of land, the commonwealth does.
this video is full of half truths. yes, they are a fucking old money family who have some real estate. which they profit off of. no different than other old money families. what the royal family does not do, is profit off crown land aka public land aka government land. this video is intentionally misleading or confidently wrong, neither of these really reflect well on the video author. i fucking hate misinformation presented as truth and we as left/liberals/democrats are not immune either.
I'm sorry, but the British can't really talk shit when they're arresting protesters holding blank signs and have an unelected house of Lords that they allow to rule over them. The only thing Britain has going for it is free healthcare, which is also being dismantled and the people are just letting it happen. America at least has the excuse of geography making it hard to organize people to protest in the Capitol. The fuck is Britain's excuse?
they don't, the guy is full of shit. wikipedia: "Today, in Commonwealth realms, Crown land is considered public land and is not part of the monarch's private estate." It's effectively government land. So what else is the guy wrong about?

No wonder Trump wants to be a king. He wants to own everything and have the government and taxpayers pay him the rent his appointees agree to.

Did England BREXIT to get the "Royals" killed for tax evasion?

Yes, crown land is bullshit. They need a bit of 1917 treatment

I think 1792 would be a more apt year to base their punishment on

Yeah, 1793 had overall better effects for the world than the entirety of the Ussr

And if you think "the first trillionaire" was a thing, consider that Chuck owns approx 16% OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE. Elon is a very very late second.

To clarify, that's 16% of the land surface, discounting water. Also: "Across the board, that notion of ownership is so passé and unenforceable as to be merely symbolic." They are still twats, though.

No, he doesn't really, as the article you posted points out

The Royle Family was a tv show over here that used the Oasis song "Half the World Away" as its theme tune

I had no idea. I know very little about Oasis. Now I know a little more.
