Is this a 300SL or a 190SL?

Don’t think we need go into arguments about the Royals, there are pros and cons on both side. Cost tax payers something like 20p for everyone of working age, unfortunately not all are working in households and prefer to use the taxes of hard working people whilst they sit on their butts for no other reason than benefits pay better than work

20p would buy a pagoda group full membership and is far more entertaining. 😆

When Elizabeth II goes, so do the Royals.

Royals are a relic of the past, when times weren't as good as they are today.
And how did this thread get so off-topic?!   
Oh, right, royal bums ...

Where did you get your Pagoda group membership for 20 pence?

Not wanting to step on any "Royalist's" toes, but I think for any country in the world to support a "Royal family" is a farce. It should be done away with and probably will in a few decades.
The taxes paid by hard-working people that are going towards that maintenance is a waste.

Funny how your address is ‘Royalton’🤣

Think you’d find that the Royals cost lest to taxpayers than those taking money out of the social services because they know how to! At leat queenie and some senior royals actually work very hard and promote UK industry overseas.

We have people who abuse the welfare system everywhere in the world. Right now, we have people in the U.S. who do not want to go back to work, because they make more money collecting unemployment/welfare than wages.
Funny thing with these "parasites", be it "Royals" or others is, that you have all kind of statements that say how much it costs, but no hard evidence can be found to support the numbers.
You say it cost the taxpayer 20p. What is this based on? Cost divided by population? Total expenses as part of total tax revenue?
Anybody who wants to twist the numbers so that support their opinion, can do accordingly.
I look at a small number of people living in obscene luxury at the expense of the community and have a hard time agreeing it makes sense in the 21st century.

Prefer contributing my 20p per household to have a Royal Family where most are hard working and promote Uk industry overseas, than lazy ineffectual money grabbing people on the social as it’s more cost effective to them than getting a job 😱. Please note, perfectly happy to pay tax to help those who actually need it
