They are a drain on society and thus are parasites.

    "No but, yeah but no but yeah but no"....Ahh shut up!

    You and yer bumchum Capt. Pedantic over in dictionary corner can argue otherwise, so where's YOUR chaps proof to say that they aren't parasites? Oh yeah back to better business links and tourism again!? Well since I've had to repeat myself again, I'll do it once more: lets give it a try! Get rid of them and see what happens..It's truly the only way to prove this argument, and like I predicted we wouldn't see eye to eye, I'm happy that we can agree to disagree. Now go away and search google for something to back up your claim, then I can laugh and say "so fuck, they are still parasites!" But I think we can go round in circles here.

    So if it's victory you so crave, it's all yours my English friend, but I'll tell you what you can do with you dodgy figures and per capita subsidies as well. Shove them up your arse! Also it's your "we should be grateful" attitude that alienates you even further, we don't wan't nor ask for your help, keep your money, and your false wars and 'your' PARASITIC Royal family and yer Morris Dancing gimps.

    Just think, with Scotland out the way you would have more money to build a giant rollercoaster / business centre in the grounds of Buckingham Palace!

    Oh and good luck in your quest for an OBE.

    Learn to read, because now you look stupid, I posted the proof, you just chose to ignore it.

    Go and Google 'Crown Estates'. This is a company that runs the estates owned by the Queen. ALL the money earned from all her properties and businesses are paid to the government. In 2005, the year you gave figures for the cost of the Royal Family, the Crown Estates paid £180,000,000 to the government, far more than the government gives back. So your pathetic argument is blown right out of the water.

    I hope you get your independence, the English will be far better off not paying dole money to you and all your mates.

    Of course the article by the BBC news is pointing to the cost of official duties and trips as ambassadors for the uk......you know....work. By this standard anyone in the foriegn office is a parasite. colt seems to suggest all they do is sit at home or go on personal junkets.

    Forget the trade they bring to the country, forget the tourism they bring, what about the employment the royal estates produce?
    He hates them, pure and simple,I get it. So he wants to throw around inaccurate descriptions and straw man arguments. Perhaps it's jealousy, one can only guess, but his hatred is so hot he doesn't care if his description is true or not, only that it's sounds as bad as possible. He can't even offer an argument to justify why he thinks the description applies without name calling.

    He may not like the royal family, he may not like what they do for the money, he may think he could live without their contributions, but that doesn't come under the meaning of the word parasite.

    As I said there are plenty of ways to accurately show the basis for his jealousy and contempt for their privileged life but parasite is inaccurate.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    The fella joined up, there's no conscription. He has done his training, at Sandhurst and his unit is being deployed.

    Why is this even a talking point. Of course he should go where his troops are going.

    ....... and as some wags have suggested - it is only right that he should follow his father's footsteps in the Army

    Major Hewitt that is


    Edit: Isn't it sweet that Royalty's main defenders are people who live in countries who have as little to do with Royalty as possible.

    Oh I think that generally the royals are spoiled, privileged, often given unearned respect, extravagant, overpaid for what they do etc. etc.
    I just don't think the word parasite is justified.

    Who's defending the Queen of Australia? Me?

    I was merely pointing out the inaccuracies in people's posts.
