The Royal Family.
I pay for them to enjoy a luxurious, multi-million pound lifestyle.

Has Zara Phillips ever given me a blow-job? Has she bollocks.

Has she ever given YOU a blow-job? Has she bollocks.

At least with other slebs they're paid for privately. I pay for some, and see bugger all off them except for a comedy car crash and the occasional, desperately misguided affair.

Quite frankly, I feel short-changed.

I’m in agreement with you...
Then there’s the argument that paying for a royal family gives Britain a ‘brand image.’
This ‘brand image’ promotes tourism.
Tourists come over and spend lots of money, therefore paying for our royal family... and some.

Something stinks.

You tried to blow me when I was in the Army!

At the risk...
...of coming across as a Royal apologist (I'm not), the Civil List actually turns a profit, meaning that they don't cost us anything.

I'd happily do away with their involvement in our political system though. And if I cared about religion I'd probably be cross about them being at the top of the C of E as well. But the money angle's a poor one, they actually do fairly well there.

Do go on.
How come they turn a profit?

Tourism?
Just a thought.

That's not the family
that's the buildings.

EG Versailles.

I don't see how the royals earn any money, other than from the land that they, er ... forcibly removed from commoners.

There is a theory that they would generate more in tourism...
...if we shot the fuckers, stuffed them and put them on display in Madame Tussauds.

Viva la revolucion.

I'd pay to see that.
