The royql family
I want to know whether people feel that the royal family are a waste of money. Should we scrap them and use the money more wisely? I am tired of people saying, “The queen works so hard.” But at the end of the day all she really does is shake hands with people and go round England and call it work. TAX goes to keeping that family, and do they seem worthy of it, I think not!!
I used to sit on the fence when it came to deciding whether or not the royal family should be scraped until recently when I heard a news presenter say, after the Jubilee anniversary that “The queen would now be going home and having a well deserved holiday.” Well I’m sorry but if you don’t call touring around a country a holiday, I don’t know what one is!!!
Mind you perhaps the government won’t have a referendum because if people did want to scrap the royal family, they’d have to find some other way of wasting millions of pounds!
Even if you are reading this in a country without a King/Queen tell me what you think, you may even wish that you did have one.
