The royal family are given around £30 million by the government plus they have their own private fortune by using their land as attractions and for farming.
Yo may think OMG they get given £30million and that is not fair, but they alone probably create most of the tourism that occurs in the UK. The first thing you think of when you hear about the Uk or the first place you wan to visit is the Royal family. Tourism in the UK would be crap without the Royal family and thus the revenue ion which the Royal family generate is far greater than what they are given.
So all people that are non supporters of the Royal family i say FUCK YOU.
What a delight that Salmond has stepped down, he will now make millions selling books and giving lectures.
