"Yes, 242 is bigger than 7.9 (though your figure should be 32, not 7.9, but we'll let that pass for now)." Hell as like we'll let it go Steve because you are wrong again of course. The Cost of the Royal Family is as you say £32million - how is it made up?? £7.9 million - Civil List Payment £24.1 million - From the gross profit from the Duchy of Lancaster and from the gross profit of the Duchy of Cornwall, plus whatever the Government have to chip in to THEIR buildings and property in order. All profit from the Crown Estate goes to the Exchequer which by the way is NOT YOUR MONEY - That accounts for £230million The net profit from the Duchy of Lancaster goes to the Exchequer which by the way is NOT YOUR MONEY - There's another £4million The net profit from the Duchy of Cornwall goes to the Exchequer which by the way is NOT YOUR MONEY - There's another £8million Then of course you have the personal taxes paid at 50% by a group of very rich people. What was the figure again about 5% of the population (the wealthiest) in the country pay about 45% of all tax collected OK shagger what did you pay in tax last year?? How much did you raise for Charity??
