Its funny you should mention 9 million because that also happens to be the amount of estimated tourists visited the UK in 2011. Frankly, id be astonished if 9% of that 9 million came here to visit Buckingham palace. we also wouldn't be buying the royals land off them, its ours. so, we save 9 Mill a year, and use that money to build cost effective housing on the many acres of royal land for the homeless and poor ... this getting rid of the royals is sounding better by the second

What he says about the royal family is so true.

@meelzonweelz69

Yep, the Royals are a drain on us and only serve as a slap in the face to those living in poverty. 200 yrs ago this lot used to raid UK towns for the kings taxes.

I'm here in America, so I'm armed to the teeth and ready to go... But everyone over here seems to be a coward and it's going to take more than a few of us to change this. Fucking pussies!

@WeGetAllKindsHere The civil list pays about £9million p/a to the royals. In terms of national turnover it's peanuts. If we didn't pay that and got rid of the monarchy, the logistics of re-writing all property law, creating a new framework of Government so we could pass them, then buy all of the Queen's land off her, not to mention losing what the royals bring in through tourism and possibly starting a war in Europe would cost a lot more. Also Bill Hicks had nothing against royalty.

@EClein2

Why do nations have to pay for the up keep of royal families who can actually take care of themselves ? The Queen officially isnt supposed to run business interests but im afraid you'll find that she does. Its all two faced nonsense and people like Stanhope, and Bill Hicks before him, can see through the act.

@PrometheanRunGood The cermonial duties performed by any head of state are important, otherwise the U.S. would have the vice President do them. They're just time-consuming. It's important to fly to Africa and exchange gifts with the President of Ghana to keep relations strong, but if the PM had to do all that who'd attend to affairs of state? They mention this in an episode of The West Wing.

@EClein2 Ceremony is only important if you need it to be important.
