That Wedding:
Disgraceful that TV Police (TV Taxpayers) facing costs estimated at £4m to indulge the arrogant Prince Andrew's offspring. Most definitely come out of his fortune not from public purse. |

Foreign tourists don't come here to see the Royal family anymore than we go to Sweden to see theirs.

QUOTE (The Hatter @ Oct 16 2018, 07:46 PM)  Foreign tourists don't come here to see the Royal family anymore than we go to Sweden to see theirs. VisitBritain reckons that tourism linked to royal residences such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle adds up to 2.7 million visitors a year. And a consultancy called Brand Finance estimated in 2017 that the monarchy’s annual contribution to the UK economy to be around £1.8bn a year, drawing in an additional £550m of tourism revenues a year, and an increase in trade, from the Royal Family acting as ambassadors, supposedly worth £150m a year. -------------------- Gammon. And proud!

I reckon if we kicked the royals out of Buck House, Windsor Castle et al. and opened 'em up to tourists we'd get a lot more revenue from 'em. I call that "win, win"! |
