Get rid of the royals. Fuck them. They are a burden on society and the system.
Btw, has anybody verified those numbers though? It’s a twitter post after all and they could be claiming anything without proof.
The TL:DR; is that yes he could pay for it but it is also exceedingly complicated. Fuck the monarchy.
Don’t they technically own like, most of the land in the UK? I’m sure that could be changed but it’s not going to be easy right?
Speaking as a Canadian who’s also living under the crown, it’s complicated, exceedingly expensive and not really worth the work. In the context of Canada, it would require renegotiating an exceptional amount of treaties and the like, opening the door for provinces to start requesting changes to benefit themselves. Things get even more complicated with Québec involved.
I can only imagine the UK having magnitudes more history than us, it would be even more expensive and even more complicated.
With that said, maybe we can just write a law that ditches the current royalty and replaces them with something like an inanimate carbon rod?
If it gets renovated every 8 years or more then it literally does pay back more. Just saying.
But yes the UK should tone the monarch shit way the fuck down, forever.
Is this assuming all tourism to the UK would instantly stop if they became a republic or what
Technically the crown already empowered Parlaiment for all state affairs so they’re a Republic now.
Let me put it this way: the number of people who show up for events like marriages, funerals and corronations is surprising even to them. The royal family is a net possitve for Tourism and it would be difficult to emulate that without them.
But I think we should still try it at least once.___
This IS social housing. Man’s got no job, have a little empathy.
If it’s paid for by public money the people should be able to sleepover whenever they want
The French had a good way of dealing with this.
