Littering is disgusting, they should be ashamed, as should be the oldie royalists who left massive amounts of litter and general mess on the days they gathered around the streets of London to see the grifters

That's a good point I suppose. The active Royals don't have to be grifters, sopping sycophants are too keen to serve up whatever they want on a golden platter .

"Freeloaders" would be a better word maybe. Spongers. Leeches. Parasites?

In terms of what the Royals bring to the economy, valuation consultancy group, Brand Finance, estimated that the monarchy’s helped boost the economy with a gross uplift of Ł1.76billion in the year 2021/22. Mainy through tourism and other methods.

We need more Parasites!

Pff, chicken feed. As Boris would say. Less than 0.05% of Britain's GDP. Absolutely no evidence whatsoever that that tiny fraction of income is worth the psychological effect that a better-by-blood birthright monarchy has on a population.

You’ll have to excuse SB, he is apparently psychologically affected, just like Harry, by the country having a monarchy. Waaagh!

Its pointing out that doing away with their contribution entirely would make absolutely piss all difference to the UK's cash flow, when people are using the income they generate as justification for keeping them around.
