The Weirdest thing is that British Royalty still exists. The swans seemed the most insane thing to me but the Bees came along to be even weirder. Thanks for all of the craziness. Beef Wellington😎
The law protecting swans was brought in during medieval times cos it was seen as a delicacy and too good for the commoners to eat and as they are free roaming and commoners could easily catch them, all swans became royal owned and it became a crime to hunt them. Something similar was brought in about deer but as all land was owned by royal or gentry in those days, there were no free roaming deer but waterways were seen as free (mostly) and it's too much hassle rescinding an old law so some just stay . There's thousands of weird archaic laws in Britain, even things like archery training being mandatory and having to offer the king any whales or sturgeon that have become beached. Every now and then a newspaper or TV station will do a list or show about them. There was one that recently got removed cos it allowed the killers Ng of Welsh people under certain conditions but I can't remember it
I adore a lovely Beef Wellington
still exists? do you know why? they bring in more revenue than they actually cost to upkeep. So many people come to England to see all the royal stuff. Its a big tourist attraction. Lots of countries sustain themselves on Tourism a lone. The Brits pay for their royals through taxes, it comes to roughly 2$ something here in Canada per year.
The amount they make from tourism dwarfs how much it costs to maintain the family. Oh also, most of the crown jewels and stuff are n ot owned by the royal (maybe some), but most belong to the state. Its just a tourist attraction.
I agree with your standpoint when it comes to a country like Lichtenstein, its the only country on earth that is still ruled through their monarchy 100%
@@SandorSoptei it's amazing how people can't figure that out isn't it? We get tens of millions just from tourism to see the palaces, then you got the rich elite that'll pay to hear them speak and that gets split between the royal(often their charity) and the country. Then you got all the charities, but people see they get paid millions and moan. Most Americans are ok with ex presidents getting paid 200,000 for the rest of their life for doing nothing, then there's the secret service detail cost every year for doing nothing and some of them were only there a few year. All of their speeches etc goes straight in their pockets, they don't pay tax etc. So they drain the American economy cos they were in charge 5 or 10 year and they then contribute nothing at all to America after, but they say the royals are a waste of money.
@@SandorSoptei thanks so much for that detailed and well thought out explanation
The British are very creative with language. Which is why it always shocks me by the generic titles and names of positions. "Marker of the Swans". Just doesn't sound as cool as Minister or Secretary of Aviary Management. It sounds more like to get a 2nd look at you on a first date than the bland traditional ones.
True that😝
Wonderful
The traditions of this country is outrageous.
British Royal DRUIDS‼️
The incest still exist I just found out Kate and William are cousins
They are 14th cousins removed. Upperclass marry only upperclass and cos there's so few of them, they will obviously be slightly related. My mom researched her family tree and cos we are from a small mining village she found that in early 1800s almost everyone in the village and surrounding villages were slightly related, people rarely travelled more than a dozen miles and it became even more tangled further back she went
The Stone of “Skoon”
The lunatics are on the grass ...
The thevies that took alot of african jewels who caresqq

"Rainbow Chickens"

jus'sayin 🤷♂
And then voted in the likes of trump, Boden, Clinton? Yep, you definitely shows them you were so much better with them in charge lol
@@martintodd9944 they weren't elected. they were selected. Just ask David Icke😆
@@ultrakool David icke, the same man who watched the TV series called V and said the queen was a reptile, cos the series was about reptilian aliens trying to take over earth? The same David Icke, who watched the matrix and then suddenly changed all his beliefs and said we lived in a simulation? David Icke, the author who was mocked for showing a photo of an old clay tablet and gave different translations for it in 4 of his books but when properly translated was a shopping list? David Icke, who claimed he is the son of God but also that there are no gods? David Icke who said COVID was fake, but I've had it? David Icke who said the 5G towers gave people COVID after declaring it didn't exist? You want to use him as proof? The man who said there are no gods but I'm the son of one? The man who said COVID doesn't exist but you can catch it from mobile phone towers? I done my A level English literature author report on him for a laugh and have read all of his book. The man is insane and all of his claims are just copied and rehashed (often from movies and TV shows, as I said above) and you think he knows the truth? So why does your prophet change his story so often? How can he be a son of God but god's don't exist? Etc etc?
@@ultrakool I saw the smiley and knew you were joking but pretended not to. I was in prison and using education to try not to come back and used distance learning to get a levels, I had to use 5 of his books and write an essay on him. I read all of his books at the time(22 year ago or a year either way) and everyone contradicted the previous and I thought it would be funny to write his publisher and pretend to be a fan(and then include that in the A level coursework) the publisher answered and I was nice for the first few letters and then showed him all my proof that debunked his author(the clay tablet was the best, the librarian helped me get a proper translation cos I couldn't use the internet for obvious reasons and the photo of the tablet, written in Sumerian cuneiform was in 4 of his books and I showed her) the publisher sent me a very bad cesa and desist letter written by him, I wrote back explaining he is a publisher not a lawyer and as this is for educational purposes (part of my A level exam coursework) and British and all law allows parts to be copied as long as I don't sell or benefit financially or create any libelous claims(all my claims were true and documents proving it were part of my coursework) but I would welcome you trying to sue me and trying to demand some of my £9 a week prison wage , I would even enjoy the trips to court, would David be there? Sadly they didn't answer
Yeah. Welcome to Normal Island. We should've got rid of this ridiculous institution 200 years ago 😡
