Well, Don, I suppose that, instead of putting them in prison, you could have harnessed the talents of the Kray twins and generated even more revenue. I find it somewhat odd that the generation of revenue is, somehow, seen as justification for the existence of this anachronistic bunch of parasites. We could set up a massive nationalised network of prostitution and generate a ton of revenue. I'm confident that a programme of public hangings would also yield a good few quid for the Treasury, given reasonable ticket prices. The justification for the continued existence of the royals by virtue of their money-making prowess is, er, somewhat amoral, eh, Don? A bit on the expedient side, shall we say?
