To be sick of the royal propaganda the UK is fed?

I know most people don’t give a damn about the Windsors any more .

However , in a week when we learn about Philip’s affairs - notably with Sarah Ferguson’s mother ( all covered up of course like the rest of their debachery) we are now expected to swallow the line that William and Kate’s next mansion is ‘paid for by William and Kate themselves ‘

No . That’s not the complete truth .Every penny the Windsors have , they have taken from the people . We now know William and Charles make millions from public services like the NHS schools and charities . We only know about this as a result of dogged journalistic digging . And most of the mainstream media barely covered the scandal .

There are many threads here about how the UK is in steep decline and how people are suffering . Yet the royals are taking in half a billion a year and charging charities on top !

At least admit to us that all their money is stolen from us ?

Oh and if you haven’t heard the queen knew all about Andrew pocketing money via ‘pitch at the palace’

She was told repeatedly by officials . She did nothing
Can we have some facts please ?
The Windsors are a total facade - they are all like Andrew - he’s just the latest fall guy .

There are probably massive quibbles about what you've said regarding their money (but ultimately yes, they're being funded by us mere mortals) but I agree we don't need them. They are an anachronism, and we should be a republic ✊

I agree i think it's ridiculous in this day and age we still have a Royal family.

Fed by whom? Your internet algorithms it seems. I haven't seen any of this as I'm not interested in the royal family.

@PoppingbyThanks for your post

No - this is all fact
Andrew Lownie - a respected writer who spent his own inheritance trying to access hidden facts about Mountbatten ( dear uncle dickie to the Windsors - Mountbatten was a pedophile who abused boys in care homes )
has written a bio of Andrew .
Philips affairs is the least of it

The issue is we don’t get an alternative view of what a monarchy can be. It’s always presented as a binary choice - what we have right now or an ‘evil unelected by the people’ republican presidential system.

These are not the only choices.

It's not that I disagree with you but I hadn't heard any of this. If you're being fed it by social media and you click on it, it will feed you more... So that might be the problem.
