      The royals, aka the real scroungers, not people on benefits.

      We should seize all their assets, kick them out of their lives of luxury and make them get real jobs.

      Ah yes, the sovereign grant funded from the crown estate.

      The royal family will get £120m or so, the treasury will get >£1b.

      Alternatively, the “taxpayer funded” crown grant can go, and the royal family can get **all** the profits of the crown estate, without donating >£1b/year to the UK treasury.

      It might be time to start aiming some of those ‘difficult decisions’ upwards

      Fantastic news. Just what I needed to see on a Tuesday afternoon

      I’m not entirely sure how this works. And I’m quite sure most people on this platform don’t know how this works.

      But maybe best not to fall for such simplistic headlines and assume it’s more complex than how it’s being portrayed

      I can’t see how it is considered just that in 2024 we still have a family of billionaires lording it over us.

      Miss information…?

      Its not tax payer funded at all. Its self funded.

      I’m personally of the opinion that the “crown” or the absolutely unexceptional chaps that were born into that one family got their estate by abusing, enslaving and exploiting generations upon generations of British people, especially those from Scotland. The fact that we continue to support them, celebrate them and even remotely suggest that it’s their “estate” is a joke and a testament to how lowly we see ourselves. If anything, they should be outcasts in society and made to publicly denounce the horrors and enslavement perpetuated by such a backwards institution for literal centuries. But instead they get their faces on porcelain and £45m annually from our pockets. Oh well.

      Okay, I’ve got a question for people. Let’s say we get rid of the royal family, and let’s say the government takes over the crown estate, which is far from certain. Why the fuck would you want that to happen? All that will happen is it will be sold off sooner or later by a government.

      Hilarious the amount of working class that love the royals. They’re just Kardashians for boomers. Give them your money, your adulation and put them on a pedestal for absolutely no contribution to society. A jedi mind trick of epic proportions. They laugh at you and wouldn’t want to breath the same air as the riff raff if they could avoid it. But people just love being spit on by the (ultra) rich in this country because people want to believe they can get to the upper class. You don’t get to the upper class, you’re born there. And upper class isn’t even close to the wealth and power the royal family has. But they’ll keep defending them saying they being in money through tourism or something yeah right

      The Sovereign Grant was £13 million in 2010. It’s now going to be well over £100 million.

      “All in it together”.
