Bloody hell, I thought the Poppy Police were yet another victim of Tory cuts, but it seems they're alive and well.

I’m playing Arsehole Bingo, and seriouspie has just got me my HOUSE! by mentioning f00kin poppies.

My prize is he gets to tell me how Liz the benefits scrounger from Windsor “creates wealth”.

I thought that may have been a false call BFP, until I saw that Soccerman had mentioned 'Momentum' and 'Marxist' in the previous post!

Yep I would have got a line if he’d said “Steptoe”.

Do a bit of research, check out who the Marxist Liebour party pay the rent to on the London HQ. Find out where the money goes....as usual Labours instruction to the mug supporters are...do as I say, not as I do.....

As alive as the morons who show no respect for ALL servicemen who died in the war.

Show respect for those who died in the war, yes. But not those who meddle in affairs hundreds of miles from Warmington on Sea and creates a refugee chain which eventually reaches these shores.

I am really thick so if you could explain that would be great.

I haven't either the time or inclination to trawl through masses of figures as I am not a qualified accountant or economist. However to simplify things we can establish the Royals don't actually EARN money as we know it, but GENERATE cash into our economy in various ways. (1) Tourism to London and other places connected to the Monarchy (2) Income derived from the Duchy's of Cornwall and Lancaster (3) Clothing brands worn by Kate and the children have seen their profits soar resulting in more tax being paid on their profits. (4) Income from rents and other land charges owned by the Monarchy etc. So these are only four examples of cash being generated. It would appear however that the Royals do get a load of free gratis cash taken from this income but the amount left over is considerable, and what is left the Royal family pay a voluntary tax upon, this being approximately the same percentage as income tax. There are other things but from what I understand, the tax paid by the Queen and her family (although voluntary) still runs into hundreds of thousands plus the 'invisible' cash generated to others which in turn has tax going into the economy.
