😂😂😂 as an African we have been called the backward people and savage people but then the hypocrisy of people who are still stuck in centuries ago with kings and queens worshipping them
Who is the English Royal Family??? I was under the assumption that they are the British royal family!!! I mean as a Scot lve been contributing to their privileged life for over 50 yrs!!!! Can l get a refund????
I am Irish, retired in Thailand where lese Majeste is law. I am baffled by this absurd idea that one person is deified whilst another vilified merely by accident of birth in a world where we strive to achieve equality.
King Charles is the ‘patron’ of air ambulance, yet in Siansburys and elsewhere, they’re asking me to donate to the ‘cause’. Why don’t they ask the ‘King” to donate?!? Ridiculous.
Agreed but I am struck by the number of retail outlets which ask you to round up your bill to donate to charities without actually donating part of their profits too.Hypocrisy.
Why is the Government not going stopping this and getting money as this is rightly Tax payers yet they go after ordinary people!! King Charles gets money from Duchy of Cornwall from ordinary people who die estates and closed dissolved business!! This belongs to Taxpayers not them!!
Ive served the country since the age of 16, taken oaths, the OSA, risked life and limb, saved lives , but only as I have aged have I seen the light. It is very perturbing to me now, there was a blind allegiance to the Crown but now I have doubts about the whole system.
Mate, I found it amazing when I recently re-read the oath. It's all about submission to the monarchy, and nothing about defending the country, your family, the people. 😮
they stole them so can we not just take it back straight off them they used force to steel it i dunno why the people can't just stand up n take it back off them or will i be called a trator for saying this royal family are a bunch of clowns maybe have a we have to look at watch France done to there greedy royal family just saying

Tony Benn said when he took an African friend to see that the lords and the monarch all dressed up for the ludicrous 'State Opening of Parliament', the friend commented that this was just like a ceremony praising an African tribal chief in a primitive society, which is exactly what it is and what we, in fact, are.

I’m sure there will be some new invented anti Harry and Meghan stories released by the gutter press in the next couple of days to distract from the failings of the Windsors. They dropped another Andrew story recently, but that doesn’t seem to have distracted the masses enough.
I've written this multiple times because it's so blood boilingly indefensible: 69,000,000 British people currently own less than 5% of the UK. IIRC about 10% is 'public'. 25,000 people own the other 85%, of which roughly 50% is owned by aristocrats and gentry. About 17% is deemed 'unaccounted' which is the classification for lands that haven't changed hands since land registries began, which I think means since the century or so after 1066. Also, remember that 'national parks', uniquely to the UK, are NOT national property but consist of privately owned land.
Thank you james it's absolutely disgusting how can they get away with this, you and Carol vorderman are the only one's who have had the decency to call this out
James, this is so close to my heart. My Nan worked for the Queen Mother as a cleaner in Clarence House. As a child in the 60s that is where I visited my Nan. I even played with the Corgis when she (Queen Mother) wasnt at home. But, even then as a young child, I was overwhelmed with the unfaitness of the system. I was a lone sole not standing for the National Anthem in cinema's etc as a teenager. This really needs a huge discussion and change.

@faithpearlgenied-a5517 You are ridiculous - The revenues of the Crown had always included these items, The Crown is the landlord and the government is the tenant. If your ancestors owned these lands and the government as tenants had historically paid rent for use of these lands for centuries, and then now you have inherited this land - how does that make these rentals invalid, or make you a bad person? How is it fair the tenant decides to become squatters and not pay? Or worse, the tenant takes over the landlord's property? It's like properties built on the Crown Estate - they still pay the Crown money to have those houses on the Crown Estates - they have the option of not living on the Crown Estate and returning the land - likewise the Government could stop renting those real estates from the Crown and move the facilities onto Government owned land. But Clearly it's cheaper to have those facilities on some remote Crown land rather than plonk in the middle of the London Boroughs or Birmingham City centre. This idiot talks trash and uninformed people take it all in without analysis.
There's nothing incongruous about working class torys trusting the monarchy their own parents trusted. It's so, so depressing. Give me a republic. Anyday.
@voimppp. A UN survey has recently found that the most peaceful, happiest and most successful countries in the World are Sweden, Denmark,and Norway. Every one of them is a Constitutional Monarchy (with, I might add, Leftish governments). Republics always seem to be in turmoil.
Just a correction: They were throwing mud and eggs at their RF in Spain, not France. Regardless, the British RF is a disgrace! Their selfishness is showing!
@Tigermummy. They should ride around.on their bikes like the popular Scandinavian Royals and be more open about everything. But the Britain are hypocritical. They love Princesses - old style. They supported Meghan when she demanded more diamonds in her tiara - though she had plenty. We need to think more clearly.about what we really believe.
@sparking. Then I’m surprised it wasn’t discussed before. It’s all a bit sudden - which makes me suspicious. Notice that it’s all been kicked- off by a privileged far-right group that had it inaugural dinner in the House of Lords. They want an American-style President - a virtual monarch (Head of State) but with executive powers. Dangerous waters. . There’s a lot we can do :right now to help everyone. e.g. change the rules in the NHS and public services. It’s right to examine the. Royal finances - but they shouldn’t be used as the whipping boy whilst the very rich go on getting away with it.
Remember there’s no advancing the cause against inequality without some conflict, at first the queen didn’t even want to be subject to paying taxes during the 90s, if you let it up to them to always decide it’s obvious that they are going to have it better for themselves and not the country.
1:56:12 I always remember that clip of John McCain back in 2008 when one of his supporters at an event said “I can’t trust Obama, he’s an Arab” and McCain just shook his head, took back the mic and said “No mam, he’s a decent family man and citizen” …and he received boos from his own supporters. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump saw that and a lightbulb went off in his head. “I need to tell these people _exactly_ what they want to hear.”
Well technically they aren't getting paid anything and are getting a reimbursement. Because the crown estate which is owned by the sovereign ( not the government) pays all its profits to the government and then gets some of it back. If they removed the monarchy then it's unclear where that land goes. Technically would stay with them royal family, although they would likely agree to give it up. Even if they do give it up all that money still needs to be spent.
You can't love the monarchy one minute and criticize their access to wealth the next (James has previously advocated for keeping the institution). You either support the institution or you don't. The monarchy should have been abolished ages ago. But unfortunately this country has collective Stockholm syndrome allowing them to continue. If we had a president then at least we get the opportunity to vote them out. You can't achieve true democracy when a monarchy exists and rules (even in a limited capacity).
@@belindamay8063 not really, the prime minister isn't exempt from labour or tax laws, they can't hide their wealth in Panama. Your argument doesn't justify keeping the royals it actually reinforces my point of why do we keep them if they have no power and their functions could be done by a different ambassadorial body.
@@ChrisKeziahHyde I’m just saying - we shouldn’t do anything in a hurry -or without specific occasion. And remember , we’ll never have a Donald Trump, - king in everything but name , by the will of the people. Thank goodness the British introduced what we call The Separation of Powers.
James, are you really telling me that you had no idea that the Royal family are taking money from us. Do me a favour mate… Have you been asleep yourself for the last 50 years?
@@rabmuir9616 Well said ! The Sunday Times said “Jump”. And I , for one, didn’t. They knew that James, for instance, would leap like Torville and Dean. The Right are masters at this game. They know us better than we know ourselves. How else have they survived ? All you have to remember is that the Tories and their papers are not , and have never been , against the unfair and unjust distribution of wealth. Especially extreme wealth. They are up to something. And I’m not falling for it.
@liiioisan. And you only woke up because of information shoved at you, all at once by a Right-Wing (!) newspaper ? Not the Usual Suspects on the Left. Didn’t you smell a rat ? The Tories are usually all over the Royals. What’s going on ?
@AgneszkaKkupiec. Referendum = Nightmare. People don’t know anything. This generation of the British is credulous, excitable, escapist, obsessed with heroes and fame. It won’t rally round the symbolic Monarchy, but it will hang about in the rain for a glimpse of Lady Gaga. It doesn’t read books. It doesn’t do joined -up thinking - knowing only for-and-against without really understanding. This new anti--Monarchy pitch is a deliberate test. Put together by a power-hungry group. This is Germany in 1933.
As a Sikh I find the majority people of Great Britain seriously intellectually challenged. I’ll tell you how we became land owners in Punjab. When the Sikhs were coming into power in 1709, one of the first reforms was to sack and expel the Mughal regime from Punjab and seize back the land that was forcefully occupied by Mughal aristocrats of the time. The land was taken back by the Sikh Khalsa forces and rights were granted to the tillers of the land. This was the first act of abolishment of the zamindari system (feudal act). This is why Sikhs in Punjab are still to this day farmers and direct beneficiaries of the land reforms that took place at the time. This brings me back to why on Earth do people of Great Britain have this strange love affair with the Monarchy that has never benefited the ordinary public. The problem is that we don’t really have a Monarchy in Great Britain that is really functional, but we have a Monarchy that is still snatching from the public and the people are happy to join the celebrations every year and wave the flag and sing the daft anthem. If this isn’t the signs of being intellectually challenged then I don’t know what is.
Why? Errrm, I think maybe it's because they are an entitled, wealthy, aristocratic family with absolutely no credibility or relevance. *drums fingers. I mean, how long have you been thinking about this James?
By the time my ex son in law left my daughter in pieces with a year old son and 6 WEEKS pregnant, he had £75,000 in his bank account and she (a teacher) was £5,000 in the red.

It has all stayed with her until now at 52 she is constantly looking over her shoulder as the children are “adults”

Recently Charles & Camilla visited Australia & Australian taxpayers had to pick up the tab. I do not support the monarchy & yet it’s forced upon us. As for their obscene wealth, I can only label that as parasitical behaviour. 🇦🇺
@wandaeachnsw. There;s a lot of obscene wealth in our country. Why aren’t we angry about that ? Because we are being steered by the Right-Wing press. We’re a load of nit-wits - strutting in our ignorance.
As much as I love the subject matter, and find it repulsive. I'm just thinking about the 'Panama Papers' and how long will it take to all be forgotten?
So we pay our taxes which fund these institutions which then hand it over to Royal family. And then the government uses our taxes for their security when they can more than afford.
Outrage? Who has the energy.? Ask yourselves what difference if a landlord is called a Duke/King/Emporer or a CEO/Chairman/Billionaire. I, a mere worker(peasant) am too exhausted from paying my multigenerational mortgage (Rent/Billet) too put down my beer and rise from the couch to actually stand beside my pleb peers on the picketline. Especially when I know in my heart that in this system I could be the next BIG THING if only all you lesser beings would just realise how much better I am than you and give all your stuff to me instead of the king/Elon Musk/Baron Trump.
You are wrong James. The individuals are knowingly taking from the people under the blanket of the institution. The individuals MUST be held to account.
I have always been supportive of the royals but that programme absolutely in one day changed me completely! I was shocked and angry! I actually even thought it’s time to get rid of them and I never ever thought in a million years I would think that way. Since the queen died nothing is the same any longer. Charles is not honouring our Christian faith and heritage either. Really have no interest in them any longer but they need to start working for the people instead of lining their pockets!
Socialism, standing for a fair distribution of wealth, duties and rights too. North European countries are social market economies. Not perfect but a compromise that works... and faces attacks and attempts to undermine it by the top 5% of society frequently.
Imagine the intoxicating feeling that comes from the immense noise of the crowd and knowing that literally millions to billions of people will watch on TV screens around the world. Now imagine what might happen when you tear that apart. Personally enraged about the royal family, but that feeling is why this discourse should be saved for a time when I am feeling better. Both sides will be angry at each other. However, the divisive topics that we discuss must be discussed in the appropriate decorum, or else we will literally end up not only inheriting their wealth but their greed for it as well
I don't know what you complaining about. The Dutches own the land. There was never a legislation to disown or return the land to the state. It's basically private property. If you don't want this, then seize the private property.
That’s fine but you can’t have your cake and eat it. They then need to pay for their own weddings, their own security, for renovations to their properties!

@@toraguchitoraguchi9154You agree with what they said so what's 'idiotic' about it? They're just reminding people she was at it as well, she usually gets a lot of love and respect despite being as awful as the rest of them. That's their point, obviously.
@faithpearlgenied-a5517 You are ridiculous - The revenues of the Crown had always included these items, The Crown is the landlord and the government is the tenant. If your ancestors owned these lands and the government as tenants had historically paid rent for use of these lands for centuries, and then now you have inherited this land - how does that make these rentals invalid, or make you a bad person? How is it fair the tenant decides to become squatters and not pay? Or worse, the tenant takes over the landlord's property? It's like properties built on the Crown Estate - they still pay the Crown money to have those houses on the Crown Estates - they have the option of not living on the Crown Estate and returning the land - likewise the Government could stop renting those real estates from the Crown and move the facilities onto Government owned land. But Clearly it's cheaper to have those facilities on some remote Crown land rather than plonk in the middle of the London Boroughs or Birmingham City centre. This idiot talks trash and uninformed people take it all in without analysis.
There's nothing incongruous about working class torys trusting the monarchy their own parents trusted. It's so, so depressing. Give me a republic. Anyday.
@voimppp. A UN survey has recently found that the most peaceful, happiest and most successful countries in the World are Sweden, Denmark,and Norway. Every one of them is a Constitutional Monarchy (with, I might add, Leftish governments). Republics always seem to be in turmoil.
Just a correction: They were throwing mud and eggs at their RF in Spain, not France.
Regardless, the British RF is a disgrace! Their selfishness is showing!
@Tigermummy. They should ride around.on their bikes like the popular Scandinavian Royals and be more open about everything. But the Britain are hypocritical. They love Princesses - old style. They supported Meghan when she demanded more diamonds in her tiara - though she had plenty. We need to think more clearly.about what we really believe.
What a disgusting corrupt system
I'm surprised that anyone is surprised by this.
@sparking. Then I’m surprised it wasn’t discussed before. It’s all a bit sudden - which makes me suspicious. Notice that it’s all been kicked- off by a privileged far-right group that had it inaugural dinner in the House of Lords. They want an American-style President - a virtual monarch (Head of State) but with executive powers. Dangerous waters. . There’s a lot we can do :right now to help everyone. e.g. change the rules in the NHS and public services. It’s right to examine the. Royal finances - but they shouldn’t be used as the whipping boy whilst the very rich go on getting away with it.
They need to give all that money back to the public.
Remember there’s no advancing the cause against inequality without some conflict, at first the queen didn’t even want to be subject to paying taxes during the 90s, if you let it up to them to always decide it’s obvious that they are going to have it better for themselves and not the country.
1:56:12 I always remember that clip of John McCain back in 2008 when one of his supporters at an event said “I can’t trust Obama, he’s an Arab” and McCain just shook his head, took back the mic and said “No mam, he’s a decent family man and citizen” …and he received boos from his own supporters.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump saw that and a lightbulb went off in his head. “I need to tell these people _exactly_ what they want to hear.”
These royals sure are pinching an awful lot of taxes for people who are made out of perfectly edible meat.
Well technically they aren't getting paid anything and are getting a reimbursement. Because the crown estate which is owned by the sovereign ( not the government) pays all its profits to the government and then gets some of it back. If they removed the monarchy then it's unclear where that land goes. Technically would stay with them royal family, although they would likely agree to give it up.
Even if they do give it up all that money still needs to be spent.
You Brits would be well served to look to the French when it comes to royalty. They has the right idea.
You can't love the monarchy one minute and criticize their access to wealth the next (James has previously advocated for keeping the institution).
You either support the institution or you don't.
The monarchy should have been abolished ages ago.
But unfortunately this country has collective Stockholm syndrome allowing them to continue.
If we had a president then at least we get the opportunity to vote them out.
You can't achieve true democracy when a monarchy exists and rules (even in a limited capacity).
@ChrisKeziahHyde. The Prime Minister is more powerful than the Monarch. Ever he doesn’t get to dress up and hand out medals.
You can change your mind it is allowed.
@@belindamay8063 not really, the prime minister isn't exempt from labour or tax laws, they can't hide their wealth in Panama.
Your argument doesn't justify keeping the royals it actually reinforces my point of why do we keep them if they have no power and their functions could be done by a different ambassadorial body.
@@ChrisKeziahHyde I’m just saying - we shouldn’t do anything in a hurry -or without specific occasion. And remember , we’ll never have a Donald Trump, - king in everything but name , by the will of the people. Thank goodness the British introduced what we call The Separation of Powers.
James am love listening to you you make me laugh so much.
Its awful so much greed.
Him helping the homeless what a hypocrite, they have never changed we are just peasants. Thank you james
Just to be clear. The Spanish Monarchy was in exile until Franco decided the king was to return. We never agreed or chose them.
James, are you really telling me that you had no idea that the Royal family are taking money from us. Do me a favour mate… Have you been asleep yourself for the last 50 years?
Not everyone knew the extent, obviously.
You knew about this and kept silent?
@@rabmuir9616 Well said ! The Sunday Times said “Jump”. And I , for one, didn’t. They knew that James, for instance, would leap like Torville and Dean. The Right are masters at this game. They know us better than we know ourselves. How else have they survived ? All you have to remember is that the Tories and their papers are not , and have never been , against the unfair and unjust distribution of wealth. Especially extreme wealth. They are up to something. And I’m not falling for it.
It's serf mentality. We serve, they rule however they want.
Just now waking up to being the subjects of a monarchy?
My thoughts exactly.
Peasants.
@liiioisan. And you only woke up because of information shoved at you, all at once by a Right-Wing (!) newspaper ? Not the Usual Suspects on the Left. Didn’t you smell a rat ? The Tories are usually all over the Royals. What’s going on ?
Yes and King Charles III's net worth is estimated to be around $772 million.
Not my king. REFERENDUM.
@AgneszkaKkupiec. Referendum = Nightmare. People don’t know anything. This generation of the British is credulous, excitable, escapist, obsessed with heroes and fame. It won’t rally round the symbolic Monarchy, but it will hang about in the rain for a glimpse of Lady Gaga. It doesn’t read books. It doesn’t do joined -up thinking - knowing only for-and-against without really understanding. This new anti--Monarchy pitch is a deliberate test. Put together by a power-hungry group. This is Germany in 1933.
AND some people think the MAFIA are corrupt.
Comic relief!!! MacMillian cancer, The Royal Navy , British Army, Guys & St Thomas, A community church?? Why?
Because they don’t care about the people, and they never ever have
And that's not including the under the table cash in polly bags from his saudi freinds.ahem hush hush.
As a Sikh I find the majority people of Great Britain seriously intellectually challenged. I’ll tell you how we became land owners in Punjab. When the Sikhs were coming into power in 1709, one of the first reforms was to sack and expel the Mughal regime from Punjab and seize back the land that was forcefully occupied by Mughal aristocrats of the time. The land was taken back by the Sikh Khalsa forces and rights were granted to the tillers of the land. This was the first act of abolishment of the zamindari system (feudal act). This is why Sikhs in Punjab are still to this day farmers and direct beneficiaries of the land reforms that took place at the time. This brings me back to why on Earth do people of Great Britain have this strange love affair with the Monarchy that has never benefited the ordinary public. The problem is that we don’t really have a Monarchy in Great Britain that is really functional, but we have a Monarchy that is still snatching from the public and the people are happy to join the celebrations every year and wave the flag and sing the daft anthem. If this isn’t the signs of being intellectually challenged then I don’t know what is.
Wisconsin otr truck driver and i voted for harris👍walz...
👍💙😊
Bless you
Why? Errrm, I think maybe it's because they are an entitled, wealthy, aristocratic family with absolutely no credibility or relevance. *drums fingers. I mean, how long have you been thinking about this James?
Are you all at ease knowing that we've always lived in the matrix!
THEIR QUEEN WAS WALKING BARE FOOT IN AUSTRALIA
UNBELIEVABLE
Same thing was going on when we had a queen... Why is this only being picked upon now?
Because poverty is rising.
By the time my ex son in law left my daughter in pieces with a year old son and 6 WEEKS pregnant, he had £75,000 in his bank account and she (a teacher) was £5,000 in the red. He cut her off from us, her family, and then he helped the bank to take her to court for the house. It has all stayed with her until now at 52 she is constantly looking over her shoulder as the children are “adults”
Bless her. I know the drama. I got to do drama again other issues but but when you are looking over shoulders and high blood pressure, but who told me to have kids with him, he's dead my best friend this man had 3 babies mothers 1 us is dead but amount of kids and grandchildren between us 😂😂😢😢😂😂😂😢😢😢 I want to sit down but I can't
Ironically they say they shouldn't pay reparations for slavery because shouldn't be held for their ancestors past..smh
What was the minimum wage in Britain again?
I doubt whether Big Ears and Co are even aware of this? 😂
The French dont have this problem...
“Whatever the State has, it has stolen.” - Nietzsche
Recently Charles & Camilla visited Australia & Australian taxpayers had to pick up the tab. I do not support the monarchy & yet it’s forced upon us. As for their obscene wealth, I can only label that as parasitical behaviour. 🇦🇺
@wandaeachnsw. There;s a lot of obscene wealth in our country. Why aren’t we angry about that ? Because we are being steered by the Right-Wing press. We’re a load of nit-wits - strutting in our ignorance.
Our German King and his greedy family.
Trump: "I'd like a bit of that"
As bad as Trump is he is not like them . Trump only takes from the rich- loan agencies and he pays them back
Your brain has been washed so many times it's now completely smooth all over
😂
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES!!!
Corruption in plain sight and the people and the UK have no problem. 😂
As much as I love the subject matter, and find it repulsive.
I'm just thinking about the 'Panama Papers' and how long will it take to all be forgotten?
Time the Royal squatters left public properties
So we pay our taxes which fund these institutions which then hand it over to Royal family. And then the government uses our taxes for their security when they can more than afford.
Thats what monarchs do James 😂
News just in from 1066. And I do not mean six minutes past eleven.
Outrage? Who has the energy.? Ask yourselves what difference if a landlord is called a Duke/King/Emporer or a CEO/Chairman/Billionaire. I, a mere worker(peasant) am too exhausted from paying my multigenerational mortgage (Rent/Billet) too put down my beer and rise from the couch to actually stand beside my pleb peers on the picketline. Especially when I know in my heart that in this system I could be the next BIG THING if only all you lesser beings would just realise how much better I am than you and give all your stuff to me instead of the king/Elon Musk/Baron Trump.
Hopefully, the digging continues, because the lies our countries are built upon in the west are simply beyond credulity.
So Charles has billed the NHS and used the money to buy wind farms and now he's charging over the odds to each of us for electric
If harry and magan sneeze people defending this lose their minds..
Sums this class riddled, divided country up..
You are wrong James. The individuals are knowingly taking from the people under the blanket of the institution. The individuals MUST be held to account.
I can’t make it make sense‼️ This is SHAMFULLY, REGRETFULLY DISGUSTING‼️ Sounds like MAFIA to me.
If they're making that much from the public sector, how much are they making from the private sector? Can we get this figure?
The royals are obviously Tories.
am i mis remembering or didn't the royal family get a raise recently, like in the last year or so?
Bandit robbers?
Why should we in this day and age still accept... some to be Kings and Queens when we are all equals...
@salamasheriffs. Look around you. Now tell me what equal means,
I have always been supportive of the royals but that programme absolutely in one day changed me completely! I was shocked and angry! I actually even thought it’s time to get rid of them and I never ever thought in a million years I would think that way. Since the queen died nothing is the same any longer. Charles is not honouring our Christian faith and heritage either. Really have no interest in them any longer but they need to start working for the people instead of lining their pockets!
About time. welcome to the real world
It was the same when Queen was alive! I think you have been living in a parallel world.
No, I am awake but my efforts were elsewhere and I didn’t want to believe it. I did not realise the extent of it all and that shocked me.
The PR team sent him to south africa today on the news lol
Communism been telling you this forever 😂
Socialism, standing for a fair distribution of wealth, duties and rights too.
North European countries are social market economies. Not perfect but a compromise that works... and faces attacks and attempts to undermine it by the top 5% of society frequently.
What an obscene system
A "normal country" hahaha! FFS James what do you mean?
HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha the fortunate few thieves that the church approves of ..hahahahahaha
Imagine the intoxicating feeling that comes from the immense noise of the crowd and knowing that literally millions to billions of people will watch on TV screens around the world.
Now imagine what might happen when you tear that apart. Personally enraged about the royal family, but that feeling is why this discourse should be saved for a time when I am feeling better.
Both sides will be angry at each other. However, the divisive topics that we discuss must be discussed in the appropriate decorum, or else we will literally end up not only inheriting their wealth but their greed for it as well
This wont even REACH the Mainstream Media 😂
@@richardcummins5465 LBC is mainstream, Richard
I don't know what you complaining about. The Dutches own the land. There was never a legislation to disown or return the land to the state. It's basically private property. If you don't want this, then seize the private property.
That’s fine but you can’t have your cake and eat it. They then need to pay for their own weddings, their own security, for renovations to their properties!
@@sajadazaman9384 True. Weddings are paid privately, but the security comes from the local police and is paid by tax moneys. Tax moneys also pay for renovations.
Royally scam 😂😂😂
