    As a foreigher I'm actually surprised how many people are indifferent or even dislike the Royal Family.

    • @MultiSuperllama
      @MultiSuperllama 9 лет назад +5

      coming from a British person, a lot of us really don't care but the media makes out its all we care about. can't be bothered haha!

      jvblackwater hey just think being in a country where you see a family who practically doesn't work and get all the money of your work.

      The Royal Family is a bullshit

      You surprised we don't to prop up a bunch of rich cunts who do nothing and sit about living of for our labour, just because they are the inbred children of the person who could muster the biggest army and kill the most people hundreds/thousands of years ago?
      Also the point that they bring in money for the UK is complete shite. Its been totally debunked, look up a video on the royal family from yotuber shaun (he also has a good accent and speaks slowly so it's good for english learning!)

    This girl talking about "penny of taxes" is so much fast. Does any body else having difficulty understating her what she is talking all about? Thanks for the subtitles.

    • @helenlouiseadams
      @helenlouiseadams Год назад

      She said “a penny of the taxes from the pound goes to them.” So for every pound of tax we pay, a penny of it goes to the Royal Family.

      We hate them or are indifferent. If the camera wasn't on people would be much harsher.

      @ignotumperignotius630 9 лет назад +1

      HM performs the executive function in the parliamentary system, while the houses provide a legislative function. She's important politically and culturally, functioning as an anchor and a captain.
