drol 11,921 Posted January 13, 2017 A senior member of the royal family has just died ! William Peter Blatty? No, Theresa Ann Savoy aka Princess Theresa of Savoy. Humourous old hag. Theresa Ann Savoy was clearly a junior member given her age. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JTrost1234 21 Posted January 15, 2017 When I turn on the TV, I'm scared they might announce The Queen's Death. I don't want her dying and I'm very scared for her. I don't like when any leader, past or present die. I was upset when The King of Thailand passed. He was King since the 1940's I think. I hope this year's deathlist gets a zero. I see you've misspelt your Username.....spelling it T-r-o-s-t insead of T-r-o-l-l I Pray to G-d this list stays at zero. Long Live Your Queen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WednesdayAddams 103 Posted January 16, 2017 We could always have a President instead and elect them every so often. That's never gone wrong! Actually, I don't mind keeping them around the place because the tourists do like them, but I am totally in favour of scrapping the civil list and letting them charge per use like when you hire a plumber. They have a right to work of course. Fixed rate for opening Parliaments, entertaining foreign dictators and the Americans could rent them at favourable rates now and again so long as they remove Trump's passport. That could be the first Anglo-American trade deal come to think of it. Given time I could come up with other ideas. But seriously... I don't feel an overwhelming desire to scrap them in the pool of people I mix with. A few years back then perhaps it might have been closer than today. I do think, however, that Charlie is in for a rough time because people don't like him. Interestingly, I sense that if he stood aside in favour of William, there would be huge support for that idea with my immediate circle and William and Kate are making people like the idea of Monarchy even more.

The civil list was abolished ages ago. The Queen gets an allowance out of which she pays her expenses, but it all comes out of the income from the Crown Estates. That income amounts to millions every year, and it goes to the Government by agreement with the Crown. So in fact the Royals are a bargain, they pretty much pay for themselves, and then some.

So let's kick her out, seize the crown estates and earn even more money from the palaces etc by letting the public walk around the whole place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
