I mean the royals in Denmark also get a [b]lot less taxpayer money[/b] so not sure that the BRF wants to really lean into that one. [/quote]

Why do people keep calling this "taxpayer money?"  None of the money used by the BRF is paid for by British taxes.  All of the funds generated by Royal assets are turned over to the state and then a small portion is returned to them for use as the "Sovereign Grant."   People feel so out upon and entitled, but no, they got these most of these assets in the 1500s and still have them.  So what...[/quote]

Income generated in English land is taxes. The fact that the royals perform a highway hold-up and then act generous by ‘giving’ 75% to the government is just a ridiculous workaround.

Imagine if that $100 million was used to heat all the homes that are going to be hammered this winter?[/quote]

Then why doesn't the government buy the property from the monarch then? Or do you think they should just seize it illegally?[/quote]

The monarchy didn’t “buy” most of the property, they conquered it or seized it as Royal prerogative. The state could certainly do the same. [/quote]

NP, but I'm an Irish Catholic, and given that the BRF stole a lot of their lands from the Church....not to mention all the land that they just took from Irish chieftains and peasants....I'm not so impressed with their property rights.  What comes around, goes around.  Everyone needs to rewatch the Monty Python Holy Grail scene with the peasants digging in the mud...[/quote]
