It's amazing how thin skinned the denizens of this forum are. You took a reference to an earlier conversation as a slight, seriously?

Fuck those scroungers and make them pay their fair share of taxes like the rest of us (many pay NOTHING). Their "economic contribution" to the UK economy is also Monarchist propaganda... FACT CHECK: Does the monarchy really pay its way?

Reading that link is interesting and doesn't actually support what you are saying at all. Apparently they are paid with 25% of the income from property holdings *that they fully own*, with the other 75% going to the treasury in exchange for not paying taxes.
So, not paying taxes is 'true', if you don't count that they are giving the government 75% of their income, rather than the government giving them money.
I reckon the US treasury would be pretty damn happy to have that kind of deal with Bezos or Musk instead of the pitiful scraps they get at the moment.

Her forefathers were no different than Saddam Hussain and I show the dead queen (and current king) the same reverence I would show the descendants of Saddam. Queen Victoria's extended family is also directly responsible for WW1 happening the way it did and I can think of no single family with more blood on it's hands.
While I don't think they should be killed for the sins of their fathers, I also don't think they should be supported by the state. Give them Balmoral and let them keep their current amount of money, then dissolve the monarchy and turn the rest into museums and national parks/historical sites. Productive lands like farms should be sold off to the highest bidders (to UK citizens or companies).
Furthermore, they are, in a way, prisoners in a gilded cage, so such a compromise has benefit to them as well.
They were once considered the owners of all of the British Empire that was bought with the blood of their citizens, and their holdings are a unique situation that would be difficult to untangle.

To honor my Irish ancestors, I probably should agree whole heartedly, but no, I do not wish pain upon them. I just will not honor their memory and if a funny meme is made at their expense, I shall worf.
