‘We pay £500 million for the Royal Family… and for what?’ Caller Claire lays out the ways in which she thinks the British public is being 'extorted' by the monarchy.

@LBC For Republicans such as I, the fact that millions of Brits are finally seeing the so-called Royal Family for what they are - ludicrous, embarrassing, venal benefits-scroungers who shame our country - is a mystery, albeit a welcome one, because we’ve always seen them that way.

@LBC 🎯🎯🎯

@LBC lol you don’t pay £500 million 🤣🙄 I pay £1.26 per year to run our head of state that also has a large commonwealth.

@LBC That caller is 100% spot on! That is exactly what the royal family does to its own citizens - extortion! x.com/claireXanda/st…

How TF can King Charles 'extort' £1m from the NHS - when a PRE-AGREED arrangement was made? No-one held a gun to the NHS & forced them to rent property from him - the NHS are free to rent land/property from any land owners, not just the King or Prince William! Any money received via people dying intestate is held for a period of time for any claims to be made before going to Charitable causes through the Duchies Benevolent Funds. The King surrenders all revenue from The Crown Estate to the UK government (Treasury) annually, which amounted to well over £5 billion in the last decade. In return, the government provides the Royal Family with a "Sovereign Grant" to fund official duties, which is a percentage of those profits, making the royals a net contributor to public funds. These people who just pluck figures out of thin air (like the RepugnantUK cult) to suit their own agenda whilst hoping to 'shock others' into agreeing with them, need to do some proper research & stop talking bollocks.

@LBC Facts

@LBC A great reminder 👇🏼 there is no good argument for a hereditary constitutional monarchy anywhere. It’s morally wrong and something we shouldn’t blindly accept in the 21st century.

@LBC Absolutely, and this is not limited to the UK. Why are Commonwealth countries still funding their visits and recognising them as head of state?

@LBC Ireland 🇮🇪 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 England Republic now. #AbolishTheMonarchy "But they bring in tourists" They hark I'd to book the most visited Palace on the planet 6 months in advance it's called the Palace of versailles and the residents got the chop long ago & cost zero.

@LBC Stop smirking & looking like you’ve had a bad smell @RachelSJohnson. You’re part of the whole rotten class system seeing the RF atop a whole confection of liggers & hangers-on when you’re no better than anyone else, just brown-nose the richer than you to get favours & privilege.

@LBC You pay £2 a year, Claire! Get a grip!! 😂🤡

@LBC How the monarchy cashes in on our seabed #AbolishTheMonarchy prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/monarchy…

@LBC They've been robbing Britain since 1066

@LBC They are parasites in fact. #AbolishTheMonarchy

@LBC You don't pay 500 million. You pay maybe £3. And if you removed them, the same money would go to maintaining your president who, I guess would have an easier time evading law enforcement for suspected human trafficking.

@LBC Yeah because having someone like Tony Blair as head of state would be so much better. Cost for selection would be far greater. It’s not perfect but it’s a system that works even with some flaws.

@LBC We don't pay a penny for the Royal Family. We do pay for public sector workers like Claire. The return on investment is questionable.

@LBC Did you see the size of the house Andrew lived in at Windsor! Would have housed at least 800 asylum seekers.

@LBC They don’t get £500million, that’s just a number that republic keep spouting without ever showing proof!

@LBC Talking to someone @RachelSJohnson who’s own family have had loads out of us

@LBC You should sell the crown estate to private investors and let's wait for that rent to be 10x that 😂😂😂 I think it should be thanks for charging significantly under market value.

@LBC Everyone has just had enough of the spongers. They need to go.

@LBC Yup, they rip us off, then Workshy Willie throws a few grand (pocket change to him) to someone and we're supposed to clap like seals. Nah, their days are numbered. #AbolishTheMonarchy

@LBC Why does Rachel try to defend the indefensible?

@LBC You live in a $3tn economy and annually they cost you a flat white from Costa.

@LBC First, they don't get anywhere near £500 million, that's just the number Republic claim is the total cost, and was reported largely without question in the media. Second, the money they do get is approved by Parliament, so where is the extortion by the Monarchy?

@LBC Oh really? Then how much money do you paid the politics that can even protect children from raping gangs? You lying leftist clown

@LBC The royal estates put back into the treasury over 1 billion pounds

@LBC They're cheaper than this foreign parasite. Better value, too.

@LBC Claire 🎯 👏

@LBC £500 Million to safeguard pedos and harbour rapists ! Talk about royally fucked

@LBC Really?
