Let's discuss the Monarchy


:)
Course she did.

So no taxing and robbing over several hundreds of years with the wealth passed down the family line without paying tax. I thought all schools taught History.
They do. But crop rotation and the industrial revolution kind of missed the intricacies of Royal taxation and funding.
Never mind, I'm sure my guesses are as relevant as yours on the current funding.
My flux capacitor is knackered so historical happenings will just have to stay historical Marty.
Utopia doesn't exist
Been tried, but Communism didn't work for some reason. Go figure.

First time posting on thread but I am generally against monarchy. The thought that this privilege is simply inherited is all wrong. I do however believe the Queen, Charles and William as far as I know are all good people, who worry about the right things.

Where things go wrong and the whole thing collapses is when someone like Andrew ot worse ends up as the eldest.
 
Yes - he’s just unlucky. Accidentally has paedoes as pen pals and keeps getting massive amounts of money from dodgy fuckers.
Maybe PIF can buy the monarchy from us?
So just to be clear. A non story that you hoped people would just read the headline of and not read properly regarding the Russian?
 
No.
Your jealousy of his wealth is the problem.
His charities generate far more than one of his xwellings. The Royal Family only own Balmoral and Sandringham as far as I am aware anyway.
Ah, I'm jealous. Ok let's forget about the prince/king/grand poombah.

What about teh latest rumour rre bankers bonuses being uncapped? They'll tell you it's good for the economy but if a postal workker or a train driver or god forbid a nurse asks for more then that is inflationary.

What in Gods name has that got to do with the Crown?
Charles is The King, not the Prime Minister or the Chancellor of the Exchequer man.
Contradicted yourself.
How so?

It is bad enough with him being the third eldest.

Remember the bare-faced lying about the photo with his arm round the young lass in tbe televised interview.

Charles is a good person? 🤮. Try looking at some of the newspaper stories from how he treated his first wife. Camillagate is a good start

JFK was a serial adulterer.
Maradonna was a complete twat.
Mandella put petrol filled tyres around peoples necks
Churchill was a racist alcoholic

Didn't stop any of them being absolutely brilliant at what they did, and still in peoples minds as some of the greats of the 20th century.
 
Did you read it properly - where is the money now? One part of his charity said they passed it on to another part who said they didn’t receive it.
It will be investigated and reported. If wrongdoing has happened, it will be found. The press and the Republican movement will make sure of that, and rightly so.

It's not a non story like, unless you didn't read beyond the headline.

Dodgy to say the least.

Aye - but that's a non story apparently and the debate about it should be shut down for some reason :)

Who says the debate should be shut down?
Show me that post please.
You're not making that last bit up by any chance are you?

And this one?


Just unlucky with his oligarchs and Bin Ladens family donations. Im sure it’s nothing to do with money laundering though.

So, reading that story, the money was recieved and sanctioned, by the UK, prior to sanctions being imposed on Russian oligarchs because of the Ukraine? Correct?
Prior to sanctions?
It was all legal and above board, open to scrutiny, and before the Ukraine sanctions. What is your point man?
Abramovich was sanctioned after he spent all that money on Chelsea. Do they have to give that all back?
So he's entitled to wealth?
Within the laid down law of the land, yes.

Like I say he just can’t catch a break - so many people he involves himself with turn out to be crooks. I mean obviously prior to the sanctions none of us were aware that the oligarchs got there money because the are basically the mafia.

So has a law been broken?
Have the Princes Charities hidden anything about their dealings from the authorities?
Other than repeated salacious headlines, is there any proof of guilt on the charities side?
If proven, then the full force of the law will come to bear.
You are proving nothing with these copy and paste headlines, and continually ignoring the counter questions I am posing, of which there are many.
I can only take from that that you concede my previous points.
