Well all the data across the net and news papers and a BBC program says the same as me(just google).

But if you have info of it not being the case then please post it. Will be waiting for both your posts.

"6. The Royal family generate close to £500 million every year for British tourism with The Tower of London, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace the most popular Royal destinations"

Problem is that assumes that if Britain were to turn into a Republic tomorrow that 0 people would come to view those attractions.
 
No one understands your posts, but please re-read my answer and the links. But I'll still wait for yours ;)

Only certain special folk don't understand my posts.

I'm pointing out that it's not possible to prove either way, so it's pointless arguing about it because it will just be a load of "this website tells me my opinion is x" ad infinitum.
 
He only get's her pregnant because those last few months are the only time she has any breasts. She's nice enough to look at but dresses like a 50 year old.

50 year old? Women used to have below knee length skirts and such in the 70s and 80s. As well as before. There was a time when women were very elegant. Some still are but too few to make a difference.

Is the Tower of London popular for the current Royals or for Historical reasons? Don't think tourists would flock there to see the Queen unless they were Americans...:D They'd want to see the Crown Jewels I'd imagine, but they are not the private property of the Queen, they belong, like the Tower of London itself to the UK they'd be there to see Queen or no Queen, she doesn't sit there with them on posing for photographs and signing autographs (Sorry to disappoint our American users once again!).

The Royal 'Tourist' revenue argument is tenuous at best as it is simply unprovable who visited specifically for the Royal Family as the places would be visited without the Royals there. Sure, there's occasional events like the Jubilee, Royal Wedding, Trooping the Colour that will attract huge amounts of tourists but they will also incur massively increased Security costs pro rata. Until the actual Security Costs are made accountable to the Public, no-one will know.

me neither and her sister is butt ugly imo.

kates probably about a 6 not a great fan of her looks or skeletal figure

For me it's the face.

But I am very much one who doesn't go for generic. I have often been called out for batting for the other team as the 'what do you think of her' question usually gets a.. She's ok..

Not saying she isn't attractive. She must be.. People love her.. But not to me at all.. Another in the same category is Cheryl Cole and scarlet johansssen (sp?)

I'm not so much 'fussy' as different

It's all about the eyes, face and hair for me.. I'm a sucker for striking hair. Be it jet black, electric blue, etc. And also no makeup, pale

Traditional beauty to me is 'plain'

Congratulations to them both.

Having a royal family keeps Britain on the map, and plenty of American's spending their $$$ on coming over to get a glimpse.
 
Thats the best way if you are planning on having a family, kids year or 2 apart. Only people who didn't really want kids or only have kids because they fell pregnant have them 5-6-10 years apart.

It must be nice seeing life in such simple terms.

In some ways I quite envy you.
 
So Jennifer Lawrence nude pics get leaked and about a week later Kate is up the duffer... Proof that she is a lesbian? I think so.

Some of the outfits she wears look like they have been borrowed from the queen. She's facially much better looking than Diana but Diana did the whole princess thing so much better in my opinion.
 
This gets release a day after the Scottish yes vote is gathering pace, seems like sharp news cycle planning by the Tories to me, what got buried today, oh yes the fact that Scotland is going to give the uk the finger in 10days
 
I do rather like the fact that despite having access to the finest education money and privilege could ever buy the princes are distinctly average from an academic standpoint.

Probably mean spirited of me but hey ho.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/3150649.stm

I'd say Harry couldn't care less and William tried to do well but isn't that intelligent; an A, B, C at A-Level isn't too bad.

I agree though. Probably £250k down the pan in private school fees etc.

And yet the main news story on the BBC news is still the Independence vote. It's almost as if you hatred of the royal family blinds you to reality...
 
[..]
Thanks for the thinly veiled insult - I feel very much put back in my box, thank you for reeling me in...

You wrote your post, not me. Your post contained a false statement about money which even a very brief look into the subject shows to be false. So the statement makes you look ignorant of the subject (if you thought it was true) or deceitful (if you knew it wasn't). I've no way of knowing which because I can't read your mind, but it has to be one or the other.

I'm not arguing about the money per se [..]

I replied to you arguing about the money, so clearly you were.

Arguing that monarchy is an obsolete concept or that it's wrong in social and/or political terms is one thing. That's debateable. Arguing that the way we currently have it set up is a net financial loss and the country would be financially better off with some other form of head of state is simply wrong unless coupled with advocating that inheritance be severely capped (e.g. 100% inheritance tax over £10M or some such thing). Assuming that tourism is ignored, obviously, as that's much harder to objectively quantify.
