It was revealed in the press this week that The Queen has always supported Arsenal and that Robert Mugabe is a Chelsea fan. Just thought I would pass it on....
Liz Windsor can stick her support where the sun don't shine This is the type of supporter that I'm interested in please log in to view this image
I had a strange idea that some of our contributors had a grain of brain between their ears. Oh dear how wrong I was. To compare The Queen to Mugabe or Osama bin liner is outrageous. The Queen has dedicated herself to the service of this country tirelessly and is above criticism. The other two are mass murdering psychopaths. Now if you want to have a pop at the rest of the Queen's extended family of inbred hangers-on go ahead with my blessing.
Liz Windsor is a blood sucking leech on this country But there's another Windsor who supports Arsenal who gets my full backing please log in to view this image
I thought you wanted to give the former a seeing-to? No accounting for taste. Now Kate and her bum sister are quite a different matter.
The amount of money the Queen/royal family brings into this country due to tourism is significantly more than the taxpayers spends to keep the monarchy running.
Debatable . . The Queen has a personal fortune of £1.9 billion. The crown also take the income from the Duchy of Lancaster, to the tune of £20m per year and Prince Charles leeches £16.5m out of Cornwall each year from the Duchy there. This money would otherwise go to the state. On top of that the Queen is paid £7.9m per year by the state to do her job. £350,000 of that goes to her husband for his salary to do his essential role of telling racist jokes and generally making England look like a European backwater. The state also 'tops up' the Queen's salary by £30m per year in 'gift aid' for things like maintenance on her privately owned houses, like Sandringham and Balmoral. Then there is the maintenance and servicing of the state owned homes, Buck palace, St James, Windor castle etc - and on top of that the state also spends around £100m per year on security and policing. Taken as a whole, the resources spent on maintaining Liz and her family totally eclipse the sums spent on any other European head of state. It would be interesting to see how much money they generate per year from Tourism. But either way, I'm certain that they can afford to pay for their own existence instead of leeching off of our crippled economy
