They need to get themselves some leccy blankets to watch TV under and switch the eating off completely. Worked champion for me. But then I was brought up with my dad huddling us all round one candle. We woz brought up tough in Lancashire.

So much for a slimmed down Monarchy costing less!

Slimmed down monarchy was more PR bullshit - note they never said this ‘slimmed down ‘ monarchy would cost any less
Same tax payer funds given to fewer Windsors that’s all .
