ez8004 10 #279 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) The only people who are really entitled to complain are the people paying 40% income tax and above. Everyone else are technically leeching. Edited June 25, 2019 by ez8004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone 10 #281 Posted June 25, 2019 Isn't the entire thread and the BBC article designed specifically with anti-royal complaints in mind? Perhaps rightly so, perhaps not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchemist 35 #282 Posted June 25, 2019 At least there is something to show for the 2.4 mill. The visit of the orange idiot cost at least 4 times that and all we have to show for it is a bad smell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone 10 #286 Posted June 25, 2019 They could do maybe 20 private homes and there'd be something to show...
