lazarus Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 £20 a head seems a bit much. Nice day out but very expensive. Why do you think the Duke is a millionaire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it true. Do not deny the past!

AWOL Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Why do you think the Duke is a millionaire? The Grand Old Duke of York had ten thousand men........allegedly.........Hmmmm....ducky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Could it be taken into public ownership? The people that live there could be rehoused nearby - Chesterfield town centre has some nice flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatsworth should be preserved and owned by the public. It has some very important history dating back to the 1380s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does have some important history and as opposed to being paid for by the hard pressed tax payer, it is maintained by it's rightful owners to an excellent standard and paid for by members of the public who wish to pay to see it.

That is incorrect - your income taxes are sent to the EU and sent back to fund Chatsworth, and many other places too. The ownership - dubious.

Either way, tis paid for via taxation upon the commoners. Twas the case that NI was supposed to fund pensions. But in less than 4 week time brethren will be taxed more harshly to fund the unfunded pensions! (And ultimately the landowning elites) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
