"3. If you got rid of the Royal family tomorrow they would give themselves a 300% pay rise, the Government's coffers would only receive tax on net profit and would still have to pay for whoever it was became the new Kool-Britannia Head of State and their staff."

So? There's more than money at stake here. I wouldn't swear allegiance to these nutsacks as our newly-accepted fellow citizens have to. My family have lived enough years under the Norman Yoke as is (well, those from these Islands anyway).

At least the tax payer won't be contributing the their upkeep and they will be looking after themselves like the rest of us has to, then Harry can dress up as a Nazi and call his mates whatever racist names he wants - he'll be like a large proportion of his countrymen.

"I hate racism as much as anyone, but what is happening here is little, if any, better."

I reserve the right to satirise, criticise and downright insult the anachronism that is the Royal Family whom I pay part of my income to, and I will gladly desist when they stop taking my tax money and withdraw from public life. Nothing personal to them as individuals, but the idea ordinary people should be funding the very rich simply because of some misplaced, outdated loyalty to a corrupt monarchy which couldn't give a shit about many of their subjects, have no concept of the problems of ordinary people, and share little if any sense of solidarity with their 'subjects'.

There are people in the wider community with little or nothing who give their lives to helping others without thought for themselves, and these people are the ones we should be rewarding, not the head of a feudal system whose ancestors and representatives have been responsible for years of oppression, subjugation and the systematic fleecing of the working people in this and many other countries.

That Harry seems to forget this is testament to the fact he lives a life a privilege far removed from the trials and tribulations that will beset many of his age throughout their entire lives.
