The Monarchy is a proven waste of time and money which should have been dissolved in 1952 (even though the deer, swans, and sea creatures, i.e., whales, porpoises, dolphins, and sturgeons, would be confused as that wretched lot have symbolic ownership of them).

1649 was a good year 😉

so will we not be able to use this website come July then if we live in the UK. Like at this rate all countries will be banned from using this website. What is the point 

 VPN

I have also read that certain VPNs can use your information to not only spy on you but also sell your information to marketers, thus filling up your email accounts.

At this point, I'm in Florida and I have my VPN set on NYC, and it has worked.  But for how long before technology catches us and the people in power find a way to block or limit our use of these VPNs.

What, are they going to make using a VPN a crime now?

They’re a mix of not-too-bright paedophiles, racists, and enablers of those who abuse human rights. They implicitly encourage all little Englanders to maintain their horrendously out-of-date view that “the sun never sets on the British Empire”.

I don’t know what’s happening in this country lately, but it’s like over regulation means we’re not allowed to think for ourselves anymore. Maybe instead of a VPN to pretend to be in a different country, it’s time to move to a different country altogether…

Without the Monarchy, the UK would lose more in royal taxes than they pay out in the civil list. With the world in its current mess,  Monarchies offer stability to otherwise very shaky political systems. Although I am not enamoured with Chuck & his "bit on the side".

The REAL annual cost of the Monarchy has been estimated to be £510 million

Their properties are worth an estimated £14.1 billion (December 2023 figures). Additionally, the Crown owns all land in England and Wales; people own estates in land either directly or indirectly from the Crown (for example, a freehold estate or a leasehold estate)

Every year the estates of the royal family make tens of millions of pounds, yet they pay no corporation tax. They also pay ZERO death duties.

They have the right to preview any drafts of legislation and veto them if they decide they are unfavourable to them (the little-known Power of Consent, which effectively means that Charles and William both have power over laws affecting their sources of private income).

They pay godawfully low salaries to their employees (mostly under USD30K per year)
