And if they weren’t around anymore the landmarks are all still there. Unless you’re saying all this country has to offer is the royals and that we should let tourists decide the HoS
It’s impossible to tell BSB. That’s what I was alluding to earlier. You can only calculate direct revenue but not the many intangibles. The amount that come over and walk past the sites etc (I remember being taken to stand outside Buckingham palace as a kid). Even such things as people from other countries now seeing the Jubilee celebrations on tv and then decided to come to visit.
The royal family are a major attraction. You only have to look at the deals Harry and Megan secured to see that
Bizarre deflection here.
If we got rid of the monarchy Buckingham Palace would be the equivalent of Verseilles which seems quite a popular tourist attraction.

Lol I’ve been rude. Some block on this thread says I hate Muslims I’m a racist and hate disabled people
FFS grow up
So continued deflectionWell clearly I need to establish how clever you are to see if I need to use crayons or is this a degree educated to degree educated chat
So continued deflection
I haven’t said that have I? You’re just boring to go round in circles with and if your aim was to just stodge up discussion to the point where nobody can be arsed then congratulations.
The title was jubilee - most people have reacted positively in the country - all you’ve done is whinge - why bother?
It’s nothing to do with visiting palaces it’s people supporting an institution they clearly value. I don’t get why anyone can get so worked up when it has no impact either way in your actual life

In my experience most people have reacted with indifference but enjoyed the time off work.The title was jubilee - most people have reacted positively in the country - all you’ve done is whinge - why bother?

It is deflection. You said we need a monarchy for tourism. Others have said people would visit Buckingham Palace without a monarchy because if its historical significance. I said Verseilles is the clear equivalent.Hardly - the vast majority of the country support the monarchy - over the age of 25 no age group has more than 25% opposition so no one gives a flying fuck about if people visit Versailles and 3 out of 4 want the queen than an odious c**t like Macron
How’s that for non deflection

That time I mentioned when i was taken to Buckingham palace was ‘to see the queen’…silly I know but the sums it up. I’m just saying the royal family will play a far larger role in tourism to this country than the base numbers you’ve provided
Except you don’t and the palace would still be there and in fact more accessible for everyone to go and look inside. Do you go to the Vatican to see the Pope or to see the Cistine Chapel?
How much of the £125 billion we make from tourism come down to the Queen?
I don’t know, neither do you, that’s what I was saying.
Who the fuck are you???Also didn’t @Houchens Head talk about sleeping with children on here. He’s not even a Coventry fan he supports Liverpool. Hahahah for the champions league final @PurpleBin @clint van damme and the rest of the Liverpool lovers btw
Who the fuck are you???
Ah, so he can just be added to my 'blocked' list then?One of booshs reincarnation. He's just on the wind up H. Take no notice, hope you're well.
Are you jealous Sweetie? x x xGet out of his arse
Get out of his arse
If no-ones cares why have you spent so much time on here telling people they should be celebrating and how everyone loves the monarchy?Well the reality actually is no one cares. I’ve not bowed to anyone
That’s a horrendous accusation? Especially given the person you are sticking up for has a questionable posting history. Still wouldn’t expect anything less from a Liverpool fan. You will go on my ignore list once @Houchens Head figures out how to do it
*BREAKING NEWS*We can at least attempt as others actually have. Though it’s a distraction really, is tourism really the main reason to give people all this wealth and influence?
You're looking at the situation when an increasingly frail old lady has spent longer in the position than anyone else in the country's history, doing her ceremonial duties without trying to influence the politics At a time when the actual elected officials are treating everyone with disdain and fucking managing the country up to an almost unbelievable degree and everyone is down due to a huge cost of living crisis and high inflation. Is it any wonder people are looking to celebrate whatever they can?Hardly - the vast majority of the country support the monarchy - over the age of 25 no age group has more than 25% opposition so no one gives a flying fuck about if people visit Versailles and 3 out of 4 want the queen than an odious c**t like Macron

Thought you were the man of the people railing against those nasty elitist white-collar WFH bastards?Well clearly I need to establish how clever you are to see if I need to use crayons or is this a degree educated to degree educated chat

20-25 years ago, post Diana public opinion was very much swinging the other way. Let's see what the opinion is when we're 5-10 years into Charles' reign.
Ive certainly not spent as much time as you droning on with lengthy shite posts about your boring political views that no one gives a fuck about
Thought you we're the man of the people railing against those nasty elitist white-collar WFH bastards?
So no-one without a degree can be clever, then? I'm sure those hard-working self-made business people will be pleased to know you think they're less intelligent than someone with a 2:2 in media studies.
I didn't say that.@herts wherever his name is said most people on here have degrees and aren’t “that old” so that’s why they have more intelligent views
Glad you agree with me he’s a patronising c**t
Someone with a 2:2 in media studies will be delighted to know they're being used as an example of being a stupid person...Thought you were the man of the people railing against those nasty elitist white-collar WFH bastards?

I consider myself a fairly regular poster on here but Grendel has made has many posts since Thursday as I have in the last month
Happy jubilee indeed!
Good to see you are counting though according to Duffer mine are only a couple of lines so aren’t real posts - at least unlike you I’ve worked out phones work in the open air - Christ that’s 6 lines
