I don't get the connection between the amount of money it is costing to renovate the palace and the people who have lost lives in a fire i also think its in pretty bad taste.

My response to any outpouring of support for royalty is ...
HRH Prince Andrew
Go on! Justify this man's lifestyle and why I should contribute to it. :whistle:

Ok buddy,it wasn't a joke,I just find (and its a personal opinion) that spending that amount on a building when �ã2 per sheet of cladding could have made the difference between life and death pretty obscene.
I get it that people like the royals and to let out a no so secret, the Queen is coming to my work next week,I may ask her about the refurb!
Seriously though,I cannot and never will justify a royal lifestyle whilst people in this country starve to death and the disabled are forced to jump/crawl through hoops to get a pound.
Just my take on it and if you found it in bad taste I apologise, no offence meant
Ok,I work in a castle so I've got a bloody cheek insulting any royals, but if they just paid a little more ........������,say 8 percent
Ok,point taken, I still find it an absolute farce though, also,the work being done here for a two hour visit next week is something else,what a complete waste of money,you would think the Queen was coming,oh........They didn't know the cladding was going to kill people?
Your post reads like you are saying that many months ago when they announced they were going to do the work the queen should have got her Chrystal ball out and said no best spend the money taking all the flammable cladding off the tower blocks as I think they may one day kill people?
Regarding tourism...it's not just the present monarchy. ..it's the country's history that attracts the tourists...I live in Wales. ..full of English castles, a few of which I've visited. You only have to see and hear the Americans and Japanese when visiting these monuments that they are a big deal...and that's just a derelict bunch of rocks...they must be nearly wetting themselves outside Buckingham palace. ..and spending more than a penny. ..like it or not the royal family attracts visitors who spend a lot.
I do note however that all they own was not earned...many years ago....it was taken and given to custodians for services rendered until a time their services are again required..of which,mainly they still hold.
Or get the public to maintain through the nation trust...
......... its quite easy to see how he could travel that much to help British entrepreneurs. ..........
............. Taking over during wartime ..........
Just to check is treason against forum rules?
