you can legally just confiscate everything someone else owns? can you? by what law?

and yes, it is my belief that the existence of the royals does draw the tourists in a real sense. people want to go to the queens house, people want to get pictures with the queens guard, people want a wedding at the queens 4th summer estate she visited 12 years ago.

how much will that reduce if the royal family was somehow legally ousted? idk, but i think its relevant context in the discussion of the royals as a business.


Sure can. You know laws are written and not like divine mandates right? Like they could just write the law and it's legal. Not a hard concept. Also those things aren't the royals property. They are owned by the state.

The fact that tourism exists elsewhere says otherwise. These things don't stop being tourist locations because the royals are gone. I actually think it would make them more interesting. Do you have any actual data related to cost and benefit or just making the claim?

You know perfectly well what I meant and there's nothing you can bring against it we're literally talking WW1 and WW2, black pages in your country's history.

As always your last resort is being a grammar nazi cuz you have no counter arguments. Literally a very poor effort.

Oh and in the meantime you're still butchering your sentences, no capitals... GG grammar nazi :rofl:


no, you got that all wrong. you didn't use it wrongly in a grammatical sense, but contextually. your pathetic effort to silence me was mentioning past monarchs / dictators, which are (fortunately) entirely irrelevant to how germany is governed these days. i'm happy we don't have that any more, and there's nothing you can say to change that. tough luck, try something else maybe.

Man, you insult the living not the dead. thats pretty tasteless.

RIP.


oh sweet, a second pearl clutcher has arrived.

i didn't say anything even remotely disrespectful about the person (even though there are surely plenty of criticisms to be had), i'm merely taking the opportunity to remind everyone how monarchies are bad and should be abolished - not that i expect the majority of brits to understand or agree with that. don't get your knickers in a twist over it, please.

are weird shoe statements the best you can do? seriously?

i mean you have to know the taste of boot mixed with masks after 4 jabs, while i am breathing fresh air

nobody has done more to redistribute wealth towards the top and the state than the likes of you, the global elite literally made trillions with the shit you supported

meanwhile you cry about some millions for a family to represent the uk and the commonwealth

its not like our political class aka new feudal lords are cheaper than the royal family with no real authority

your whole argument makes no sense ffs :lol:

the queen being a mechanic back in the day is already more than the likes of you and your dear criminals have ever achieved

she has a positive legacy in this world, you wont ever have one, thats all


the mental gymnastics you have to perform, the countless times debunked lies you have to repeat, in order to bothsides your pathetic bootlicking... it really is quite the thing to behold, lol.

You're shitting on monarchies and stating you're so glad you don't have that. And me pointing out that your country has had some really shitty leaders. If you need some copium call Brussels I heard they're importing tons of that stuff as we speak ;)

She used up her life bar very efficiently ^^

You're from HK right, is the royal family popular over there?

this isnt correct, im no expert on royal affairs but that's not how it works in the UK. for hundreds of years the UK monarchy has voluntarily returned profits for royal estates to the government, who in turn pays for a slew of things for the royals. there is a formal agreement, but its not the law that the King/Queen must do this.

stop paying for their expenses and they stop sending back the profits. which is a net gain for England and a net loss for the crown. this was a deal struck hundreds of years ago for the UK monarchy to keep their holdings and their lives, whilst other royals either were stripped of holdings or sent to the guillotine.

ive watched several breakdown videos, including one just posted by fender. the only win for anti-Crown people is if the holdings were entirely removed from the royals. thats the only way England comes out on top financially.

That's in line with what I heard in Australia and NZ when I was living there.

yeah right, the richest people making a shitloadof cash since 2020 and the middle class getting rekt is totally not happening ^_^

you accuse me of bootlicking people with no real authority, meanwhile you are witnessing political class scumbags, many of which didnt even have a proper job in their lives (you dont mind of course), running germany into the ground, while raping the middle class, without a problem

dudes saying mean things online ARE THE REAL THREAT

enjoy buddy, its exactly what you deserve
