the queen is dead

[Nobby the Bastard]

I thought it was quite considered and appropriate.

Why should my kids lose 40% of what I leave when Charlie and co. who have hundreds of millions don't?

I will remind you that royal residences and their maintenance aren't owned or maintaind by the royalsd but by the state but the royals get to use them as they see fit. So Buck house, balmoral, and Windsor Castle aren't even part of the estate.

yes, absolutely voluntarily though. Not required to by law and most of their net value is their capital they leave when they die.

By the way, quite a lot of the people who the current monarch is head of state of don't want the UK monarch to be their head of state.

The carabean countries are going to fuck him off quite quickly, closely followed by australia. pretty sure he'll be head of state in quite a few african countries as well.

Once they fuck him off, the monarchy in the UK will become as irrelevant on the world stage.

It's not resentment, by the way. Why shouldn't I expect parity of treatment unless they are 'better' than me?

Thats sends us down a whole new rabbit hole about some genetics being better and more worthy than others.

Yes, it is resentment. The monarchy IS better than you.
Once again, it is the institution that matters.
I accept that you can't, and possibly never will understand any of that though. Not everyone has the time to really delve into these matters, and fewer understand the significance of history (although I think some lefties do, which is why they're always trying to rewrite it).

Exactly why does the position need hundreds of millions to pass on to their offspring and be exempt from taxation to be a powerless figurehead?

FFS, even PUTUS isn't exempt from the US taxation system.

It doesn't bother me. It's just not a big enough deal to get worked up over. Control that resentment Nobby, it'll eat you alive! Do you want to end up like that Ribenapoison chap?

Over a thousand years the monarchy has had it's ups and downs but why now to get rid of it?

Petty arguments on on tax and wealth are a distraction from the true aim: to disconnect the plebs from the foundation of tradition.

It's just another part of the marxist road map the socialists follow to reach the communist utopia, which doesn't exist, nor ever can. Those for it here are just more useful idiots.
