And let arsholes from third world/ex-commie coutries flood the UK because they might vote socialist. And caused massive divisions in the UK with "devolution".

In France, Nicolas Sarkozy set an annual budget for his establishment at the Elysée of 110 million euros (£90 million). Last year, the French head of state's expenses were audited for the first time since the reign of Louis XVI; it revealed a flower bill of 275,809 euros and 3,000 euros in fines for late payment of electricity and gas. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...r-Britain.html The diminutive French President runs up a gigantic £10,000 daily food and drinks bill on entertaining guests Mr Sarkozy’s total expenditure in 2011 was about £95million – including £200,000 on flowers.

At least Buck House has arse loads of tourists swanning around outside paying into our economy. Yup and it's a fact that our Royal family generate far more money for the UK than it costs each person in the UK. 62p per person per year to fund our Royal family. A bargain. 62p wasted. Income to the exchequer from royal estates is around £260M/year. 15% of this is paid back to the royal family to fund their official duties, including upkeep of the buildings/estates. (This replaced the civil list payments and payments from various government departments for things like royal travel which were abolished a few years ago.) Policing, security, and other costs for royals are around £300M/year. A normal year brings in around £500M of foreign tourist revenue for royal events. In a year with a royal wedding, jubilee, birth, etc, this figure exceeds £1B. So, they are always significantly profitable for the UK, and in special years, they are extremely profitable for the UK. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
