"They talk about the Queen owning land, palaces and priceless art 'n trust for the nation', which simply means we pay for them and she keeps them."

Keeps them safe you mean...
This really is a pile of total balderdash, to put it politely.

Have you never visited Buckingham Place or Windsor Castle, to mention just two places?

Some friends of mine actually went to Windsor Castle on a coach trip yesterday and said it was wonderful.
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

A poll form 2011 showed that, in Britain, 25% of the people don't want this monarchy, but among young people aged between 16 and 24 the figure rises to 38%.
It will probably be much higher now.
