But anyway..they are basically a tourist attraction..like the zoo.. you can drive down the mall and see them in their natural habitat feeding off all the tax payers (like me) in the UK..
Ye thats a good idea! spend the cash on houses for the homeless all over the uk!CalcuoCuchicheo said:See even though I mentioned earlier that the only purpose they may serve is as a tourist attraction, I think that if we got rid of them tourists would still come to Britain to see all the historical locations.
Also, as we, the public, paid for the Royal jewels and such we could claim them back and keep them as tourist attractions or better yet, sell them to some eccentric Japanese billionaire, because believe me, in this day, them jewels are worth a bomb.
The wealth could then be distributed back to the people whom the Royals have stole from for centuries.

vg4030 said:we the public didnt pay for most of the royal jewels... for example the diamond in the crown was TAKEN when they left india ..(after raping the country of course)..
I agree though of course tourists would still come to britain if they werent there.... they are funded by us and should answer to the public more than they do.. they got their wealth and status by murder, incest and robbery..hmm sounds like a good mini series...
vg4030 said:how did the public pay for a jewels that were stolen?... did they pay the gas for the getaway car?
vg4030 said:ohh.. they paid for the labour that went into the crown.. i get ya.. so the way i see it.. the value has to be divided into what the UK public paid for and what they took..then it would be fair
vg4030 said:lol..i think u got it twisted...
im not saying IF they were stolen..they were stolen from the people of that country
just cos a royal didnt go and personally take them doesnt mean they had nothing to do with it..
do you think if a soldier in iraq took a gold statue from a museum.. that its gonna look right if its displayed in the whitehouse?
Britain wasnt at war with india... they took over it just like they did everything else..when they left, the monarchy took what they wanted and left the people there with jack shit..end of story
the british people didnt pay for shit.. they taxed the country to pay for what thy wanted
vg4030 said:we're obviously talking about 2 diffrent times here...when u left india is when you took the diamond.. no one had to paid to steal it..as u ruled the country why would you?..and the british people didnt pay for it..for the last time.. half the crown wasnt even made in this country...
if your talking about medieval times..then thats different..
