Possibly wasn’t clear, but my answer was ‘I’m not suggesting that all people or many people would stop visiting Britain if we dissolve the monarchy. I don’t think anyone could really say what the impact would be. I dare say that SOME people, especially certain types of American tourists, may...

Are you seriously asking that question? Do the tone and words in my posts lead you to believe in an utter imbecile? I’m not suggesting anything of the sort, I’m pointing out two things across these posts; 1. They pay IN a lot more than they take OUT 2. Even ignoring point 1, why risk...

As you say, it's a lot easier to tour countries in Europe, but more than that it's actually a lot cheaper than visiting here. Prices are higher here, in general the currency here is 'more costly' than the continent, although we are addressing that (unplanned!). Realistically we are never going...

That’s exactly the point isn’t it. I doubt many people were willingly going to France to see Louis and the crew. You can guarantee that if they still had a Royal Family that are famous the world over, they would be promoting that as another great reason to come and get immersed in French...

Surely they’ll still give us that money once we ‘get rid of them’? Why the hell are people bringing up France? They effectively got rid of their monarchy in the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. I doubt many people were travelling the world on holiday back then. They are just a lot better at promotion than...

I don’t know. If we stop paying for them, will they stop providing the profits from their land and property into the UK kitty? We can’t very well have it both ways can we?

Put it in perspective. We probably spent £30k a week on fruit for the Houses of Parliament. And those arbiters of virtue bring statistically NOTHING of value to this country. The Royal Family are a huge draw, even if some people here don’t like it
