Because otherwise they’d go recluse and that $1.8B would decrease dramatically, duh.
1. Who cares that something costing you 67mill is generating 1800 million???? That’s your argument? How is it not immediately clear to you why a country would want to continue that arrangement?
2. There’s no guarantee the castles would remain accessible for tourists. Without there pageantry interests in them would wane over the years. Much of that 67 million probably includes staffing and upkeep of properties like Buckingham Palace. Given how that’s used, that number would remain even if you “shunned” the Royal family.
SO giving money annually to a family that's worth billions of dollars because it makes them feel good.
I see. So what you're saying is Brits have a sheep mentality and/or they simply don't know no better. It makes sense now.
Where is the ROI if what is generated sits in trusts and adds interest
it’s not really reinvested and redistributed amongst the general population
Crown Jewels
Maybe if they returned those jewels to South Africa we wouldn’t have to pay for some tourists to come and take pics of stolen merch
No, but you're already falling into generalizations saying an entire country has a "sheep mentality". Seriously what's wrong with people on the coli who can't go three posts without insulting entire nations?
Answer me this, why do you pay taxes to a country that is worth billions? Why do you pay for monuments, for military parades? Because you have a "sheep mentality"?
What a ridiculous leap in logicLet's go ahead and reinstitute slavery then. That would be good for the economy. Since... ya know, what's good for the economy is your only argument.
What a ridiculous leap in logic
Nah nikka, the only positive that you state is that it helps the economy. Same logic as mine. Don't get mad. It's a common debate tactic...showing the ridiculousness of your argument through a parallel example.
Go somewhere and suck "Prince" Harry's dikk

Pretty sure a big heap of the billions of tourism dollars go right back to transit, nhs etc
Damn near 2020 and brehs still calling for "Royalty" that robbed Africa and so many other locations ..
"Y'all's better leave my Queen alone..."
That's why I made the thread in the first place? to ask WHY do they still allow it. Laws can be changed.
