Royal Wedding: Buckingham Palace cleaner exposes bad working conditions and poverty pay

[splashydash]

@UnknownSaxophone My comment about it being a privilege to serve the Royals was what the Household actually said, many years ago, when the meanness of the servants' wages was being discussed. I left the comment to speak for itself!

I agree with you absolutely. The Queen is one of the richest people in the world, further bolstered by tax-payers, but I have yet to see the hospital, library, school, she has sponsored and, when Windsor Castle caught fire she wanted tax-payers to pay for repairs.

Nice of the Royal Family to bestow upon its subjects the same unquestionable love and adoration they demand from us.. A truly pathetic institution in a modern 'democracy'.. When Tory run Westminster council decides to make sleeping rough illegal in the heart of London I fully expect the Royals to open up some of the 650 or so rooms in Buckingham Palace to help house society's most downtrodden..... FAT CHANCE!!!

@UnknownSaxophone i hear that

[splashydash]

The Royal Family don't pay higher wages because it is a privilege to serve them.

[UnknownSaxophone]

@splashydash I sincerely hope you mean to say that sarcastically. What have the royals done for you recently? (apart from kindly granting the proletariat a one day rest from pointless servitude lol), where does Kate Middleton work again? When is it William is deployed to Helmand?

You're no worse off than 75% of the population. What's this "it was supposed to be done by a man"? Haven't you heard of sexual equality?



[EvilEuropean]

@JamesDGallagher Yeah....because at least 75% of the population work as cleaners and in other menial jobs in the UK!
