Great time to buy a yatch, when the pound is at the weakest its been for decades
She pays circa £1,500 per annum Council Tax for Buck House. Nice.
The only explanation I can see for the British public's fascination for the Royal Family is Stockholm Syndrome. During this Queen's reign we have gone from being a manufacturing giant where everyone had a job and where there was a strong community spirit to an almost third world cesspit where it is dog eat dog and nobody knows their neighbour. She has behaved like a powerless puppet, but it didn't have to be that way. She could have interceded and protected us from some of the worst things our treacherous governments have inflicted on us.
The main reason she’s popular is that the media keep telling us she is popular. Give anyone enough media coverage and people will become ‘fascinated’ by them whether it’s Queenie or Kim Kardashian. We are subjected (if you’ll pardon the pun) to a daily onslaught of unbalanced royalty-related drivel. Any mention of Queen Lizard on the news is delivered with a sycophantic smile (I‘m sure they’re on a bonus). Every item on the news relating to the Windsors ought to have a non-monarchist representative giving a republican viewpoint – but that would be balanced journalism and that’s not allowed.
He's correct on all of them. The monarch doesn't have to pay income or Council Tax (this one chooses to), display vehicle licence plates or need a licence to drive. Another power wielded under the Royal Prerogative is the legal authority to destroy any subject's property. It sounds far-fetched but it's true.
