[ComedicInstincts]

@0salot There's nothing special about him at all. He's no different to anyone else except he happened to be born into a royal family. Some people obsess over the royal family the same way they do Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, except the royal family costs the tax payer $66 million a year. Meanwhile, some people are starving to death on the streets. Oh well, as long as Prince William has his nice shiny palace and maids to look after him...

@0salot if you prefer wikipedia, type in 'tourism' and scroll down to most visited cities.

[0salot]

@mangajo i have wikipedia evidence (lol) to back london being the most popular destination in europe, with no say of paris as the most popular. and also what has usa become? we are making moves in the middle east (whom hold 56% of the earth's oil supplies), a resource which without, the global economy could not work. we are insuring our future as global economics change, what is britain doing. merely following us, trying to act as a superpower, a status britain once had 100+ years ago

[mangajo]

@0salot i just stated facts. which part isn't correct? by the way, paris is the most popular tourist destination in europe, and that fact isn't contested either and everyone knows that. also, taxes traditionally comprise the lion's share of any nation's coffers, so that's quite normal. again, what the hell has usa become?

[0salot]

@mangajo you are joking right??? maybe if you went back 200 years what you just said would be correct haha... britain today is nothing, london the most popular tourist spot in europe is huge to your economy.... the british people and imports are taxed like nobodies business because the government has no other source of income.... but nice try haha

[mangajo]

@0salot @0salot tourism is a mere sliver of the pie in britain, let alone the royals' contribution. in fact, manufacturing as a share of total output in britain more than eclipses that in the usa, which begs the question, what has the usa become? what kind of a country treats its workers like that? you see, the difference is that you can't see your royals in the usa.

obviously, he's the best, because the queen asked someone to make other pilots worse
