I hate everything about the class system in this country and everything the royal family represent!! by the way, enjoy your daily mail while you head to work on the train griff ;)
Bob, bob, bob…
Don’t even begin to think you know me, or what my views are. You think I’m unaware of the reputation the Daily Mail has and that when I post on numerous occasions that I read it – sports pages only, by the way – some small-minded people might jump to the conclusion that I am a goose-stepping, blue-blooded royalist apologist? Every occured to you that I might just post something to provoke a response?
As it happens, I couldn’t give a flyer about the class system either. The only people I remotely give a flyer about are my family. I do find though, that most of those who complain about the class system in its broadest sense are those who really don’t like woking hard for a living and expect he state to do everything for them.
Enjoy your day reading the X-Factor stories in the Mirror.

Certainly rings true with me – everytime I post something, whoooosh (even quicker than that) Griff is onto it
was beginning to think I was being stalked, but get your drift now so I will let you off
I would imagine that the money put back into the country & economy by graduates in terms of taxes & NI on their salaries and general spending far outweighs a completely guessed at amount of how much money is brought into the country by tourists who are here specifically because of the royal family – its not as if any of them actually expect to see or meet a member of the royal family, the buildings & all their opulance would be there regardless of whether the royals still existed or not & I don’t see the lack of a royal family having any impact whatsoever on the tourism of our neighbours in France
You’re living in cloud cuckoo land if you don’t think that the daft Japs and Yanks attracted by our pomp and circumstance don’t view the royal family as being the major part of all that palavar.
And France might just have some climate-related benefits that we don’t have in this country.[/quote]
I don’t doubt for one minute that “some” tourists come to the UK because of our royal family – how many come purely for that reason & how many would have come anyway for other reasons is complete guess work so how anybody can equate it to the royal family bringing in “billions” every year is completely beyond me
In my 35 years on this earth I’ve met plenty of tourists in the UK from all over the world and whilst I aint claiming for one minute that they were indicative of all foreign tourists in the country, not one of them has said they were here because of the royal family. In fact the amount of public events that form part of the pomp & circumstance you talk about which directly involve major members of the royal family is miniscule. If they visit say Buckingham Palace whilst they’re here they don’t do it coz they think they might see the Queen they do so coz its a big opulent building full of riches – just like the palace of Versaille which people visit even though the French royal family has been gone for over 200 yearsreturning to France – the southern part of the country may well have climate benefits we don’t have but Paris by & large doesn’t & that’s full of tourists. Likewise Brittany & Normandy

the royal family haven’t exactly worked hard for anything really have they!. in fact it was literally handed to them on a silver plate .

I never said they have worked hard though, did I?Plenty students and benefit cheats don’t work very hard for what they get.
However, I don’t recall the Royals trashing government offices or pi$$ing on the Cenotaph, either.
