The Royals jumping ship...

[Wolfgirrl]

A virus pandemic breaks out in the UK. Everyone is essentially on house arrest bar a few essential occasions. Businesses and workers facing going bust. People dying every day. Hospitals overwhelmed. Surely this would be a great moment for a morale boosting message from our beloved royals, who we pay to keep in the lap of luxury? Oh wait, a little recorded message has been deemed a health risk to the Queen (allegedly).

Oh well, they can always volunteer Buckingham Palace as a makeshift hospital or hub for supplies, etc, as I'm sure they want to do what they can for their beloved citizens, especially now theyve legged it out of London. Oh wait.

Seriously what are these people for and why do we pay for them again?

Check out the Republic website... They debunk all the 'good for tourism'/ 'don't cost that much' nonsense. And have no personal gain by exposing the facts.

Of course they do, the clue’s in the name!

Oh. £300 million is an overestimate.

I’d say that’s an underestimate. The royal finances are shrouded in secrecy. Total cost with their huge security is possibly £365 million.

Some real facts. Not that anyone will accept them.

Rightly so, why should we believe everything they want us to believe.

Believe what you fucking like. 70% of the population want a monarchy so it looks as if you’ll all have plenty to bitch about for the foreseeable future.

Might have changed now.

Previously I didn’t care now I think they are redundant.

William released a video in support of the The National Emergencies Trust last week.

Oh Fucking wow! Money well spent. Most teenage kids I know release a dozen videos a day!

The same is said about Trump (with less followers though) and we, the world and its dog, are having a field day

70% of the population want a monarchy
Likely to change after this pandemic but what's your source?

@Alsohuman

So you posted an article saying that spending on the royals has increased to prove your point

Also please dont swear at people, it's aggressive.

I’ll swear whenever I like. The figures show - had you bothered to read more than the headline - that in normal times the cost is £65 million a year. For the next few years it temporarily increases to pay for the maintenance work on Buckingham Palace.

@Alsohuman is that supposed to be good news?

No - she sighed, patiently - it shows the real figures, not the vastly inflated ones up thread.

SHES ALIVE!!!

She phoned BJ today and even allowed herself to be photographed. Shame she cant address us directly but

Weird I feel like I made it happen with this thread! 🔮

Her royal ears must have been burning @Wolfgirrl

😂😂

Although something about it is odd, she looks like a mannequin in the photo and again; why not address the public directly?

Can you link?

@Lifeisabeach09

Royal family Twitter page.

She looks blue, for want of a better word quite bloodless.

She looks fine to me.

@alsohuman

Royal family haters are jealous of their wealth. Its all they go on about. I have £9 a day Carers Allowance and around £90 universal credit per month to live on. Richer than me OP? I bet you are you hypocrite.

Oh do stop with the silly passive aggressive little faces.

Yeah, I don't think she looks like a mannequin but there is no way those pics are from today. No social distance or isolation evident. Unless they swabbed and tested everyone in attendance.

Royal family haters are jealous of their wealth.

Being critical of the royal family and how they've responded during this pandemic is hardly being jealous about their wealth.
